## Transit and Community Services

Twenty-one transit stop points are mapped within New Edinburgh, with several clustered along Crichton Street. Locations such as Crichton / Keefer and Crichton / Victoria appear multiple times in the dataset. This density of stops suggests significant public transportation coverage across the neighbourhood's street grid.

Community services include MacDonald-Cartier Academy as the single mapped school point in the area. Two childcare options exist, including the New Edinburgh Community and Arts Centre After School Program. These facilities anchor the daily routines of families residing in this specific Ottawa neighbourhood segment today. 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.
