## Amenities

Oakes includes two mapped schools: Ancaster Meadow Elementary Public School and Holy Name of Mary Catholic Elementary School. The neighbourhood also contains three parks, including Kitty Murray Lane Park and Meadowlands Park. One dog park is mapped as Corporal Nathan Cirillo Leashfree Dog Park. These points establish presence but do not confirm catchment boundaries, service quality, or household access patterns within the area.

Five transit stops are located in Oakes, such as Golf Links at Kitty Murray and Golf Links opposite Onondaga. A single recreation point is also mapped in the neighbourhood. The counts reflect mapped infrastructure only and do not indicate route frequency, connectivity, or commute behaviour for residents. Sources:

## Buyer Fit

The mapped presence of two schools suggests potential relevance to families seeking elementary education options in Oakes. However, the count does not establish school catchments, academic quality, or specific household composition preferences. Buyers should verify current zoning and enrollment criteria before assuming these facilities serve their address.

Three parks and one dog park provide mapped green space options for residents in the neighbourhood. Five transit stops offer potential public transportation access points along local streets. These amenities do not confirm proximity to homes, usage rates, or the overall convenience of daily errands for prospective buyers. Sources:

## City market context

From the Hamilton market article, 22 September 2026:

The Hamilton Region recorded a Sales to New Listings Ratio of 45% in September 2026, placing the market at the threshold between seller and buyer dynamics. This balance is accompanied by a 19.5% year-over-year drop in condo apartment average prices to $376,000, while detached home averages declined only 2.4%. Hamilton's housing market has reached a state of equilibrium where the Sales to New Listings Ratio of 45% indicates neither buyers nor sellers hold a decisive advantage, supported by 4.4 months of inventory. This balanced condition masks significant segment divergence, with condos experiencing sharp price corrections and detached homes showing relative resilience, driven by uneven supply absorption across property types.
