## Park Inventory in Balsam Grove

Three park points are attributed to Balsam Grove in the supplied dataset. These include Grosvenor Court Park and Meadowbrook Park, along with one additional point labeled simply as Park. The counts reflect mapped locations rather than verified physical boundaries or service areas within the neighbourhood boundary. This inventory provides a baseline for understanding the green space labels associated with this specific area of Kingston.

The presence of these three points establishes a minimal amenity profile for the locality. However, the data does not confirm the size, condition, or accessibility of these spaces to residents. Without further details on maintenance or programming, the practical utility of these parks remains undefined. This limited scope prevents any broader conclusions about lifestyle benefits or property value impacts tied to these specific green spaces. Sources:

## The strongest counter-case

The local evidence does not establish proximity, access, quality, usage, or buyer demand for these parks.

## City market context

From the Kingston market article, 22 September 2026:

Kingston's months of inventory hit 5.8 in August 2026, far exceeding the 3.6-month seasonal norm. Record new listings and rising mortgage rates are shifting leverage to buyers, though price declines remain modest so far. Kingston's housing market has shifted decisively toward buyer conditions, with months of inventory reaching 5.8 in August 2026, well above the 3.6-month long-run seasonal average. This imbalance, driven by record new listings and slowing sales, creates negotiating leverage for buyers and downward pressure on price growth.
