## Physical Amenity Inventory in Hillsdale

Hillsdale contains eighteen mapped amenity points according to OpenStreetMap Overpass API data. The inventory includes three parks named Beechcliffe Park, Charing Park, and Tallwood Woods. These green spaces form the primary recreational land use category within the neighbourhood boundary. The park count establishes the presence of public open areas but does not indicate size, maintenance status, or visitor volume. Mapped coordinates confirm location within Hillsdale without describing adjacent street networks or pedestrian connectivity between these sites.

Thirteen transit stop points are mapped along Craig Henry Drive, Knoxdale Avenue, and Woodroffe Avenue corridors. Specific stops include Craig Henry / AD. 178, Craig Henry / Bertona, and Knoxdale / Woodroffe. One childcare facility named Rainbow Montessori and one generic recreation point complete the amenity set. The concentration of transit stops on specific arterial roads indicates route alignment rather than service frequency or ridership levels. 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.
