Established community on Port Moody's west side, bordering Burnaby Mountain. Home to BC's largest marina, Westhill Park, and strong SSMUH potential on many lots.
College Park sits on the northwest edge of Port Moody, right where the city meets Burnaby Mountain and Barnet Highway. It's one of Port Moody's most established residential areas — tree-lined streets, mature landscaping, and the kind of community feel that comes from families who've been here for decades.
The neighbourhood is home to Reed Point Marina — BC's largest — and Westhill Park, which offers a playground, outdoor pool, hiking trails, and a walking track. Some properties enjoy views of Burrard Inlet, and the proximity to Burnaby Mountain means forest trails are minutes away.
College Park offers a mix of single-family homes, townhomes, and condos. It's more affordable relative to Heritage Mountain or Heritage Woods, and the lot sizes work well for SSMUH. For buyers who want community, green space, and fast highway access without the premium of the mountain neighbourhoods, College Park is worth a close look.
College Park combines outdoor recreation with surprisingly quick access to urban amenities. Barnet Highway puts you in Burnaby or Vancouver in minutes, and Port Moody's waterfront core is a short drive east.
College Park families are well served by School District 43. The neighbourhood has convenient access to multiple schools at every level, and the area's strong family orientation means school communities are active and engaged.
Elementary options in the area include Glenayre Elementary and Seaview Community School, with Moody Elementary also nearby. For middle school, Moody Middle and Banting Middle are the primary catchments. Port Moody Secondary is the local high school. Simon Fraser University sits just up Burnaby Mountain for those looking at post-secondary options close to home.
College Park has solid transit connections for its location. Several bus routes run through the neighbourhood, providing access to Burquitlam SkyTrain Station and Moody Centre Station on the Evergreen Extension. The West Coast Express is accessible from Moody Centre Station for downtown Vancouver commuters.
Barnet Highway runs along the neighbourhood's northern edge, giving drivers a direct route to Burnaby and downtown Vancouver. Clarke Road connects south to Coquitlam. The combination of bus access, SkyTrain connectivity, and highway proximity makes College Park one of Port Moody's better-connected residential neighbourhoods.
Under British Columbia's Small-Scale Multi-Unit Housing (SSMUH) legislation, many single-residential lots in College Park now qualify for increased density. Port Moody amended its zoning bylaw in June 2024 to align with these provincial requirements, and the city's Guide to SSMUH was adopted in July 2025.
College Park's combination of reasonable lot sizes, relative affordability, and transit access makes it one of Port Moody's more compelling SSMUH opportunities. Contact Dawar for a free feasibility study on your specific lot.
College Park appeals to a broad cross-section: young families drawn by the schools and parks, students attracted by the proximity to SFU, and long-time residents who've built their lives in this quiet pocket of the city. The neighbourhood has a settled, community-oriented feel without being isolated.
It's a popular choice for buyers looking for a less expensive entry into Port Moody's detached-home market. The lots, the highway access, and the marina give it a character that's distinct from the mountain neighbourhoods — a bit more connected, a bit more accessible, and with SSMUH potential that many owners haven't yet explored.
