## Local Amenities and Transit Points

James MacDonald Public School is the only school point mapped within Gourley. Gourley Park serves as the single park location attributed to this specific neighbourhood boundary in the dataset. These two facilities represent the primary educational and green space infrastructure identified for residents in this area. The presence of these points establishes a baseline for local services available directly within the neighbourhood limits.

Five transit stop points are located within the Gourley neighbourhood according to the mapping data. These stops include Chesley at Chester, Chester at Chesley, and three variations involving Stone Church. The concentration of transit points suggests multiple access points for public transportation within the defined geographic area. This distribution indicates that transit infrastructure is present across different street intersections in the locality. Sources:

## The strongest counter-case

The local evidence consists solely of mapped amenity points without market statistics or forecasts.

## 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.
