Port Moody's most elevated neighbourhood. Greenbelt-backed luxury homes, tranquil creeks, and some of the city's best schools — tucked into nature above David Avenue.
Heritage Woods occupies the highest residential land in Port Moody, above David Avenue on the city's north side. It's a neighbourhood defined by space and privacy — greenbelt-backed lots, mature forest, creek crossings, and homes that feel removed from the urban pace below.
The housing stock includes single-family homes, townhomes, and several luxury properties on expansive lots. Many homes back directly onto protected greenbelts, offering a level of seclusion that's uncommon this close to Metro Vancouver's core. The streets are quiet, the lots are generous, and the community is tight-knit.
Because of its elevation, Heritage Woods is slightly more removed from shopping and transit than Heritage Mountain. Newport Village and Suter Brook Village are roughly 10 to 15 minutes away by car. But for residents who prioritize nature, space, and school quality over walkability, it's hard to find a better fit in the Tri-Cities.
Heritage Woods is primarily residential with no commercial zones within its borders. Daily errands require a short drive, but the tradeoff is direct access to some of Port Moody's finest natural areas.
Education is one of Heritage Woods' strongest draws. The neighbourhood is served by School District 43 and offers access to some of Port Moody's highest-rated schools at every level.
Aspenwood Elementary is a local favourite, known for its community feel and proximity to nature. Eagle Mountain Middle School is notable for its five outdoor classrooms that bring learning into the forest. Heritage Woods Secondary is the anchor — one of Port Moody's top-performing high schools, located within the broader Heritage Mountain area. Private options including Our Lady of Assumption and Traditional Learning Academy are a short drive away.
Heritage Woods sits at the top of the mountain, and a car is recommended for most daily errands. TransLink operates several bus routes through the area along Panorama Drive, Forest Park Way, and David Avenue, connecting residents to Port Moody's core and onward to SkyTrain.
The nearest SkyTrain station is Inlet Centre on the Evergreen Extension. Moody Centre Station, serving both SkyTrain and the West Coast Express, is also accessible by bus. While transit coverage exists, the frequency is lower than in the flatlands — most households here keep at least one vehicle.
Under British Columbia's Small-Scale Multi-Unit Housing (SSMUH) legislation, many single-residential lots in Heritage Woods 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 Woods lots tend to be larger, which is favourable for SSMUH — but terrain considerations matter. Contact Dawar for a free assessment of your specific lot.
Heritage Woods attracts buyers who want the best of both worlds — nature at their doorstep and a city that's genuinely livable just down the hill. Residents tend to be established families, often with school-age children, who prioritize space, privacy, and outdoor access.
Turnover in Heritage Woods is notably low. People who buy here tend to stay, which speaks to both the quality of life and the strength of the community. It's quiet, it's green, and it feels a world away from the density of the Lower Mainland — even though downtown Vancouver is under an hour by transit.
