## Amenity Inventory Composition

The Galt neighbourhood boundary contains 187 mapped amenity points across five categories. Transit stops account for 129 of these points, representing the largest single category in the local inventory. This concentration reflects the street-level placement of bus stops along major corridors within the area. The remaining 58 points distribute among recreation, parks, schools and grocery retail.

Recreation facilities number 29, including named sites such as Galt Arena Gardens and George Hancock Pool. Parks total 18, with Queen’s Square and Mill Race Park among the mapped locations. These figures describe point presence only and do not measure service quality, operating hours, or resident usage patterns. The inventory provides a baseline for physical infrastructure without indicating demand or accessibility. Sources:

## Educational and Retail Presence

Eight schools appear in the Galt amenity dataset, ranging from Central Public School to Glenview Park Secondary School. The list includes both public and Catholic elementary institutions alongside secondary options. No catchment boundaries or enrollment figures accompany these entries, so the count indicates location rather than capacity or assignment rules. Buyers must verify district eligibility separately from this mapped presence.

Three grocery stores are identified: Bairos Supermarket, Food Basics and Sobeys. These points mark retail locations within the neighbourhood but do not confirm store size, product range, or operating status. The absence of additional retail categories in the provided data limits assessment of daily convenience. Mapped presence establishes where facilities sit, not how they serve residents. Sources:

## The strongest counter-case

The local evidence consists solely of static point locations and does not establish service frequency, catchment eligibility, or market performance. Sources:

## City market context

From the Cambridge market article, 22 September 2026:

Cambridge's housing market presents a split picture in late 2026, with single detached homes maintaining tight inventory while apartment units face significant oversupply. This divergence creates varied opportunities and risks for buyers and sellers depending on their preferred property type. Cambridge's housing market shows a bifurcated condition where single detached homes remain in a seller's market with 2.3 months of inventory, while apartment units have shifted to a buyer's market with 8.5 months of inventory, creating distinct pricing pressures across property types.
