## Infrastructure and Local Services

The neighbourhood profile identifies 25 distinct amenity points within the Scarborough North boundary. These points consist of 22 transit stops, 2 parks, and 1 grocery store named Surati Sweet Mart. This distribution highlights a heavy reliance on public transit infrastructure as the primary mapped feature of the area.

The transit stops are concentrated at intersections such as Finch Ave E at Middlefield Rd and Middlefield Rd at Arbor Low Gate. While these points indicate potential access to public transportation, they do not confirm specific routes or service frequencies. The presence of a single grocery store suggests limited local retail options within the mapped dataset. Sources:

## The strongest counter-case

The amenity data is a static point map that does not establish service frequency, route coverage, or the quality of local access. Sources:

## City market context

From the Toronto market article, 22 September 2026:

Toronto's housing market exhibits a sharp divergence in supply conditions, with semi-detached inventory tightening to 2.4 months while condominium apartments remain at 5 months. This segment-specific pressure contrasts with a city-wide sales-to-new-listings ratio of 41.9%, signaling that buyer leverage varies significantly by property type. Toronto's resale market shows divergent supply tightness by property type, with semi-detached homes falling to 2.4 months of inventory and condominium apartments dropping from 7 to 5 months between Q2 2025 and Q2 2026. This segment-specific absorption outpaces the broader city-wide sales-to-new-listings ratio of 41.9%, indicating that buyer competition is concentrated in lower-inventory freehold and mid-tier condo segments rather than across the entire market.
