## Amenity Profile

The neighbourhood evidence identifies exactly one amenity point within Desjardin's boundaries. This single entry is categorized as a park and carries the specific name Arboretum. No other facility types appear in the direct attribution list for this area. The count reflects the total number of points mapped to the neighbourhood scope.

This solitary park represents the entirety of the mapped amenity inventory for Desjardin's. The data does not include additional categories such as schools, transit stops, or commercial services. Consequently, the physical landscape described by the evidence is limited to this green space. Readers should note that this count is exhaustive for the provided dataset. Sources:

## Geographic Positioning

Straight-line measurements place Desjardin's at varying distances from major urban centres in Ontario. Mississauga lies approximately 39.5 kilometres away, while Brampton is situated about 47.6 kilometres from the neighbourhood centroid. These figures represent geometric distances rather than road travel times or actual driving routes. The calculations rely on centroid-derived coordinates for both the neighbourhood and the target cities.

Toronto appears furthest among the listed centres at a straight-line distance of 61.1 kilometres. The geometry underlying these measurements was updated in July 2026 for all three metropolitan areas. Because these are linear distances, they do not account for topography, infrastructure, or traffic conditions. They serve solely as spatial reference points relative to larger population centres.

## The strongest counter-case

The local evidence set provides no market statistics, forecasts, or municipal context for Desjardin's.

## 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.
