The largest group consists of nine recreation sites, followed by three parks, two schools, and two transit stops. This inventory reflects point locations attributed to the neighbourhood boundary in the source data. The counts represent the total number of mapped features available for this specific geographic scope. Two elementary schools are identified within the area: St. Lawrence Catholic Elementary School and Bennetto Elementary School. Bennetto Elementary School is described as occupying a lower relative position among peers with a slight decrease from historical levels. These broad metrics do not capture the full scope of educational quality or student experience. Current district reports should be consulted for detailed performance information beyond these general observations.

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. ## Sources - [St. Lawrence Catholic Elementary School](https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/190632910): date unavailable.
