Family-focused, elevated, and surrounded by trails. One of Port Moody's most sought-after neighbourhoods for space, schools, and views of the inlet and mountains.
Heritage Mountain sits on the northwest side of Port Moody, just below David Avenue. It's a neighbourhood built around families, trails, and breathing room. Streets are wide and quiet, homes sit on generous lots, and the sound of the city feels far away — even though Newport Village and SkyTrain are only a few minutes down the hill.
What draws people here is the combination of outdoor access and community stability. Bert Flinn Park — a 126-hectare network of trails for hiking and mountain biking — is right in the neighbourhood. Heritage Mountain Park sits beside the elementary school and doubles as a winter tobogganing hill. Residents tend to stay for years, which keeps turnover low and demand consistent.
The housing stock is primarily single-family detached homes with a smaller mix of townhomes. Many homes on the upper streets enjoy sweeping views of Burrard Inlet and the surrounding mountains. It's not typically a first-time-buyer neighbourhood due to pricing, but it's often the next step for families moving up from condos or townhomes in the Tri-Cities.
Heritage Mountain's location means daily life blends nature with convenience. The neighbourhood itself is green and quiet, while shopping, dining, and recreation are a short trip down the hill.
Heritage Mountain falls within School District 43 (Coquitlam), the third-largest in British Columbia. The neighbourhood is well served at every level, with schools that consistently rank among Port Moody's best.
Heritage Mountain Elementary is located right within the neighbourhood, making the walk-to-school routine easy for families. Heritage Woods Secondary — one of Port Moody's top-performing high schools — is also nearby, drawing students from across the north side of the city. For middle school, families typically access Eagle Mountain Middle School or Moody Middle School. Private options like Our Lady of Assumption (K–12) and Traditional Learning Academy are a short drive away.
Heritage Mountain is connected to the rest of Port Moody and Metro Vancouver by TransLink bus service running up and down Heritage Mountain Boulevard. While it's not a walk-to-SkyTrain neighbourhood, the bus links you directly to both Inlet Centre Station and Moody Centre Station on the Millennium Line's Evergreen Extension.
Moody Centre Station also provides access to the West Coast Express for commuters heading to downtown Vancouver. By car, Barnet Highway connects directly to Burnaby and Vancouver. Most residents keep a vehicle, but transit access is better than many assume — especially for secondary school students commuting to Heritage Woods Secondary.
Under British Columbia's Small-Scale Multi-Unit Housing (SSMUH) legislation, many single-residential lots in Heritage Mountain 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.
Heritage Mountain's larger lot sizes make it an interesting candidate for SSMUH — but slopes and servicing can add complexity. Contact Dawar for a free lot-specific feasibility assessment.
Heritage Mountain attracts families who want space, nature, and top schools without leaving Metro Vancouver. You'll see basketball hoops in driveways, kids walking to school, and neighbours who know each other by name. It's the kind of neighbourhood where people put down roots and stay.
The community skews toward established families and move-up buyers — people who've outgrown a condo or townhome and want their next chapter to include a backyard, trails, and a slower pace. It's also popular with outdoor enthusiasts who want hiking and biking at their doorstep.
