## Amenity Inventory

Riverside District contains 33 mapped amenity points as of October 2026. The inventory includes 17 transit stops, 6 parks, 9 recreation facilities, and 1 dog park. These counts reflect the total number of points attributed to the neighbourhood boundary in the source data. The distribution shows a higher concentration of transit infrastructure compared to green space or recreational venues within the mapped area.

Specific named locations include Thompson Street Parkette, Riverside Common Park, and Joel Weeks Park among the six parks. Transit stops are located along Broadview Avenue, Queen Street East, Carroll Street, Saulter Street, Boulton Avenue, and Empire Avenue. Recreation facilities include the Ralph Thornton Community Center and Jimmie Simpson Recreation Centre. These names identify the specific points present in the dataset without establishing their operational status or quality. Sources:

## City market context

From the Toronto market article, 22 September 2026:

Toronto's housing market exhibits a sharp divergence in supply conditions, with semi-detached inventory tightening to 2.4 months while condominium apartments remain at 5 months. This segment-specific pressure contrasts with a city-wide sales-to-new-listings ratio of 41.9%, signaling that buyer leverage varies significantly by property type. Toronto's resale market shows divergent supply tightness by property type, with semi-detached homes falling to 2.4 months of inventory and condominium apartments dropping from 7 to 5 months between Q2 2025 and Q2 2026. This segment-specific absorption outpaces the broader city-wide sales-to-new-listings ratio of 41.9%, indicating that buyer competition is concentrated in lower-inventory freehold and mid-tier condo segments rather than across the entire market.
