Living in Seaview

Seaview sits in the heart of Port Moody, stretching from College Park Way to Ingersoll Street and from Seaforth Way to Glenayre Drive. It's a central, connected neighbourhood that balances residential calm with genuine proximity to the city's best features — the inlet, the trails, the breweries, and the transit network.

This is Dawar's own neighbourhood, and he'll tell you that's not a coincidence. Seaview offers the best of what Port Moody is — tree-lined streets where people know each other, a mix of housing types that keeps the community diverse, and a location that puts everything within reach without sacrificing the quiet that brings people to Port Moody in the first place.

The housing stock is a mix of single-family detached homes, townhomes, and some low-rise apartment buildings, generally up to three storeys. The neighbourhood retains its established character while adapting to new provincial housing legislation. Most single-residential lots here are affected by SSMUH, creating meaningful development potential across the area.

Seaview is well served by School District 43, with multiple school options within walking distance or a short drive.

Seaview Community School is the neighbourhood's own elementary school. Glenayre Elementary is also nearby. For middle school, Moody Middle and Banting Middle are accessible. Port Moody Secondary and Dr. Charles Best Secondary serve the high school years. The neighbourhood's central location means most schools are within easy reach regardless of the specific catchment.

Getting around

Seaview benefits from its central position in Port Moody. Bus routes connect the neighbourhood to Moody Centre Station and Burquitlam Station on the Evergreen Extension. Clarke Road's frequent bus service runs along the neighbourhood's western edge.

Moody Centre Station provides both SkyTrain and West Coast Express service. The walk or short bus ride to transit makes Seaview practical for commuters heading to downtown Vancouver, Burnaby, or Coquitlam. While it's not a walk-to-SkyTrain neighbourhood for most residents, the connections are reliable.

Multiplex potential in Seaview

Under British Columbia's Small-Scale Multi-Unit Housing (SSMUH) legislation, many single-residential lots in Seaview 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.
