## Transit and Daily Access Points

Twenty-three transit stop points are attributed to St. Mary's in the mapped dataset. Names include Queens / Belmont, Queens / Lakeside Park Trail, and Highland / Patricia. Several stops appear multiple times, suggesting multiple platforms or directions at the same intersection. This concentration indicates significant transit infrastructure presence in the area.

The mapped transit stops do not specify route numbers, frequency, or service hours. They also do not confirm walkability from specific residential streets to these stops. The count reflects point locations only, not operational coverage or passenger volume. Buyers should verify current transit schedules separately. Sources:

## City market context

From the Kitchener market article, 11 October 2026:

Kitchener's average home price fell 12% year-over-year to $646,213 in early October 2026. New listings dropped 21.17% year-over-year while active inventory reached 1,027 units. Kitchener's housing market is experiencing a significant price correction with a 12% year-over-year decline in average sale prices, coinciding with a sharp reduction in new supply that may be moderating further downside pressure on values.
