Transit and School Infrastructure

Scarborough Centre contains 23 mapped transit stop points, including Scarborough Centre Station and multiple bus terminal platforms. These stops are distributed along Birchmount Road, Lawrence Avenue East, and Kennedy Road. The concentration of transit nodes suggests significant public transportation access within the neighbourhood boundary.

Four school points are mapped in the area, including General Crerar Public School and Winston Churchill Collegiate Institute. One childcare point, Manadarin Child Care Centre, is also present. These educational facilities provide foundational services for families residing in the immediate vicinity of the mapped locations. Sources: [Scarborough Centre for Alternative Studies]

Recreation and Daily Services

Seven recreation points are attributed to Scarborough Centre, with two entries specifically named as McGregor Park Community Centre. The remaining five recreation points are labeled generically without specific facility names in the dataset. This indicates a presence of recreational infrastructure, though detailed program availability at these specific sites is not confirmed.

One grocery store, Food Basics, is mapped within the neighbourhood. The single grocery point represents the only retail food service location identified in the direct amenity count. No additional retail categories or commercial services are quantified in the supplied local evidence set for this area segment alone here. Sources: [Scarborough Centre for Alternative Studies]

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.
