## Mapped Amenity Inventory

Uplands contains 18 mapped amenity points distributed across three distinct categories. The inventory includes 3 school locations, 6 park areas, and 9 transit stop points within the neighbourhood boundary. These counts reflect direct point attributions rather than service coverage or quality assessments. The distribution suggests a baseline infrastructure presence for daily residential needs.

The amenity list identifies specific names such as Valley View Elementary School and Hobson Park. Transit stops include intersections like Thorpe Avenue at Malahat Drive and Sitka Avenue at 10th Street East. These named locations provide concrete reference points for residents evaluating local access. However, the mapping does not establish route frequency, catchment boundaries, or facility capacity.

## School Presence and Context

Three school points are attributed to Uplands in the supplied dataset. One entry is labeled generically as School, while others include Valley View Elementary School and Mark R. Isfeld Secondary School. The elementary school carries a review note indicating strong comparative performance relative to previous periods. This qualitative marker offers limited insight into educational standing without broader district data.

The presence of both elementary and secondary school points suggests a range of educational options within the mapped area. Yet the evidence does not confirm catchment zones, enrollment figures, or household composition tied to these institutions. Buyer fit cannot be derived from point location alone, as proximity does not guarantee access or suitability for specific family needs. Sources:

## The strongest counter-case

The local evidence set lacks market statistics, forecasts, or municipal context to validate buyer demand or pricing trends.

## City market context

From the Courtenay market article, 22 September 2026:

Vancouver Island recorded 858 unit sales in June 2025, up 18 per cent year over year, against active listings that grew only two per cent. This imbalance signals a tightening market at the regional level, though no supplied evidence measures this effect within Courtenay itself. Vancouver Island's housing market entered late 2025 with sales growing faster than inventory, creating a moderate seller's advantage at the regional level. This dynamic is not measured for Courtenay specifically, but it frames the broader market context in which local transactions occur.
