## Amenity Inventory in The Orchard

The Orchard contains forty mapped amenity points across five categories. Ten of these points are parks, while twenty-four are transit stops. One school and one childcare facility complete the mapped set. This inventory defines the physical infrastructure present within the neighbourhood boundary as of October 2026. The counts reflect point locations rather than service capacity or quality metrics.

Parks constitute the largest single category in the local amenity profile. Transit stops form the second largest group with twenty-four entries. The remaining categories include one school, one childcare provider, and four recreation points. These figures establish the baseline infrastructure available to residents. No additional municipal context or program details accompany these mapped locations. 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.
