## Amenity Inventory in Forest Heights

Forest Heights contains 59 mapped amenity points across five categories. The largest group is transit stops with 31 points, followed by 12 parks and 7 recreation facilities. These counts reflect point locations attributed to the neighbourhood boundary in the source dataset. The remaining categories include 5 schools and 4 grocery stores, completing the full set of 59 points. No municipal context or additional facility details were provided beyond these category totals.

## Transit Stop Coverage

Thirty-one transit stop points are mapped within Forest Heights, making transit the most numerous amenity category. Named stops include Mcgarry / Meadowbrook, Elm Ridge / Ramblewood and Sunrise Centre Station, among others. Several stops appear multiple times in the list, suggesting different directions or platforms at the same intersection. The concentration of stops along streets such as Mcgarry, Elm Ridge and Fischer-Hallman indicates a grid-like transit pattern. However, the data does not confirm route numbers, frequency or service levels for any of these stops.

Sunrise Centre Station appears three times in the mapped list, while other intersections like Mcgarry / Royal Orchard and Elm Ridge / Queens each appear twice. This repetition likely reflects multiple boarding positions rather than distinct stations. The presence of 31 points suggests broad street-level access to public transit within the neighbourhood boundary. Sources:

## City market context

From the Kitchener market article, 11 October 2026:

Kitchener's average home price fell 12% year-over-year to $646,213 in early October 2026. New listings dropped 21.17% year-over-year while active inventory reached 1,027 units. Kitchener's housing market is experiencing a significant price correction with a 12% year-over-year decline in average sale prices, coinciding with a sharp reduction in new supply that may be moderating further downside pressure on values.
