## Amenity Inventory in Heron Park

Heron Park includes 34 mapped amenity points across six categories. The largest group consists of 24 transit stops, followed by three parks and one school. These points define the physical infrastructure available within the neighbourhood boundary as recorded in the source data. The counts reflect specific location markers rather than a measure of service quality or accessibility for residents.

The park category includes Brookfield Park, Heron Park, and Bruce Timmermans Park. One school, Westboro Academy, is also mapped within the area. Grocery options include Farm Boy and Crusader Concrete, while recreation facilities feature an ice rink and a wading pool. These names identify specific locations but do not indicate their operational status, capacity, or proximity to individual homes in the neighbourhood. Sources:

## City market context

From the Ottawa market article, 22 September 2026:

Ottawa's August 2026 sales-to-new-listings ratio dropped to 47.3% citywide, with apartments lagging at 43.0%. 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.
