Service Infrastructure Profile

Childcare and school points number four and two respectively in the mapped dataset. Specific names include Bettye Hyde Cooperative Early Learning Centre and Viscount Alexander Public School. These entries identify institutional presence but do not verify enrollment capacity or household composition. The data supports identifying where services are located rather than how they function daily.

Recreation points include specialized facilities like the uOttawa Swimming Pool Montpetit and public tennis courts. Wading pools appear at multiple park locations including Strathcona and Dutchie's Hole. The variety indicates diverse recreational options available within the mapped boundary. However, the absence of program schedules or operational status limits the practical interpretation of these facility counts. Sources: [École élémentaire publique Francojeunesse]

The 4.3-point gap between segments reveals where buyer leverage is forming before headline prices move. Ottawa's August 2026 sales-to-new-listings ratio fell to 47.3% citywide while apartments recorded 43.0%, a 4.3-point gap that signals weaker absorption in the condo segment even as composite benchmark prices held near flat. This divergence matters because it identifies where buyer leverage is emerging before it shows up in headline price indices.
