## Amenity Inventory in Arvida

The neighbourhood profile identifies 41 distinct amenity points within the Arvida boundary. These points are categorized into four groups: schools, parks, grocery stores, and recreation facilities. The counts reflect mapped presence rather than operational status or service quality. This baseline establishes the physical infrastructure available to residents in this specific area.

Schools represent the smallest category with seven mapped locations. Parks constitute the largest group with fifteen points. Recreation facilities account for eighteen sites, while a single grocery store is identified. These figures describe the spatial distribution of services as recorded in the source dataset. They do not indicate usage rates, accessibility, or the condition of these facilities. Sources:

## Recreation and Park Presence

Fifteen park points are mapped within Arvida, forming the largest single category of amenities. Eighteen recreation facility points are also identified in the neighbourhood. Specific named locations include Parc de la Cité and Stade Arvida. These points indicate the availability of outdoor and recreational spaces for community use. The mapping does not provide details on maintenance levels or program offerings.

The presence of multiple park and recreation sites suggests a distributed network of public spaces. However, the evidence does not establish proximity to residential clusters or ease of access. No dog parks are specifically identified in the count. The data reflects static point locations without information on seasonal availability or current operational status. Residents must verify individual site conditions separately. Sources:

## The strongest counter-case

## City market context

From the Saguenay market article, 22 September 2026:

The Saguenay residential market concluded 480 sales in the second quarter of 2026, a 3 per cent increase from the prior year. While national financing conditions remain stable with fixed rates near 4.24%, local transaction activity shows divergence between quarterly volume and monthly closings. Saguenay's residential market demonstrated sustained activity in Q2 2026 with 480 sales, up 3 per cent year-over-year, while July 2026 pricing in Jonquiere remained stable at an average of $310,000. This indicates a market where transaction volume is growing modestly even as individual monthly closing counts fluctuate, suggesting underlying demand resilience despite national rate pressures.
