Eagle Ridge is the well-treed, family-oriented pocket of north Coquitlam that borders Port Moody — a genuine mix of detached homes and townhomes, with its own park and sports fields, the base of the Coquitlam Crunch trail, and the Eagle Ridge Elementary → Scott Creek → Gleneagle school ladder.

Built by Craig Johnston, REALTOR® V99960 — a 47+ year Coquitlam resident.

The market read

Eagle Ridge in June 2026.

Eagle Ridge doesn’t publish its own MLS® benchmark, so the most honest reference point is the citywide Coquitlam detached number — clearly labelled as such. What makes Eagle Ridge interesting isn’t a single headline stat; it’s the mix: detached homes and townhomes in one established, well-treed neighbourhood, with its own schools, park and trailhead. Here’s the current pulse, with every price band a working range rather than a fabricated Eagle-Ridge-specific benchmark.

Coquitlam detached HPI (citywide)
$1,649,000

June 2026 GVR benchmark · Eagle Ridge has no separate published benchmark.

Who Eagle Ridge is for

Four buyers Eagle Ridge is built for.

Eagle Ridge is not a single-product pocket. Because it mixes detached homes and townhomes, it works for a wider range of budgets and life stages than a purely detached neighbourhood — a first move-up buyer, a growing family, and a downsizer can all find something here. If your situation matches one of these four, the rest of this page is the playbook. If it doesn’t, that’s useful information too — Burke Mountain, Westwood Plateau or Coquitlam Town Centre may fit you better.

01

The growing family

Wants an established, well-treed neighbourhood with its own park and schools. Orients around the Eagle Ridge Elementary → Scott Creek Middle → Gleneagle Secondary school ladder, with Eagle Ridge Park and the base of the Coquitlam Crunch right in the community. For this family the complete, family-ready package is the draw.

02

The first move-up buyer

Stepping up from a condo or townhome. Eagle Ridge’s mixed stock opens the door for buyers who couldn’t stretch to a detached home in Westwood or Burke — a family-sized townhome around $900K–$1.2M is a lower-maintenance way into the same schools and the same two-city access.

03

The right-sizer or downsizer

Wants the established Coquitlam location without the full detached carry. A townhome or an entry-tier condo delivers the address, the schools and the trailhead with less upkeep — the reason Eagle Ridge works for a downsizer as much as a growing family.

04

The two-city-access buyer

Values quick access to both directions. Because Eagle Ridge borders Port Moody, Coquitlam Town Centre, the mall and the Evergreen Line are a short drive east, while Port Moody’s Newport Village, Suterbrook, Rocky Point Park and the Brewers Row breweries are a short drive west.

The housing stock

What you’re actually buying in Eagle Ridge.

Eagle Ridge is the established, well-treed, mixed-stock end of north Coquitlam — detached homes and townhomes side by side, on mature green streets that border Port Moody.

Detached homes are the move-up family core, typically trading around $1.4M–$1.9M. They’re established family homes on well-treed north-Coquitlam streets, close to the neighbourhood schools and Eagle Ridge Park, with renovation upside part of the appeal. This is a genuine mix, not a single-product pocket — which is exactly why a first move-up buyer, a growing family and a downsizer can all find something here.

Townhomes are the other meaningful product, typically around $900K–$1.2M — family-sized attached homes and a lower-maintenance way into the same schools and the same two-city access. They’re popular with first move-up buyers and right-sizers who want the location without the full detached carry. Condos and apartments are the most accessible entry point into the neighbourhood: apartment-style homes for first-time buyers, investors and downsizers who want an established Coquitlam address near transit and both city centres.

That range is the point. Eagle Ridge’s mix opens the door for buyers who couldn’t stretch to a detached home in Westwood or Burke, and its Port Moody border means quick access both ways — Coquitlam Town Centre and the Evergreen Line east, Port Moody’s villages and waterfront west. Who it’s not for: buyers who only want brand-new construction (that’s Burke Mountain), or buyers chasing a view-and-golf premium (Westwood Plateau). Eagle Ridge is an established family neighbourhood, first and foremost.

The price ladder

What each tier in Eagle Ridge actually buys.

Eagle Ridge is one of north Coquitlam’s more mixed neighbourhoods — detached homes and townhomes all trade here, and that range is the point. Below are the honest working bands, what each gets you, and which buyer it tends to suit. Eagle Ridge has no separate published benchmark, so these are working ranges, not an MLS® HPI.

Tier Price band (June 2026) What it typically buys Best fit
Condo / apartment Entry-tier stock Apartment-style homes — the most accessible entry point into the neighbourhood, near transit and both city centres. First-time buyers, investors and downsizers.
Townhome $900K – $1.2M Family-sized attached homes — a lower-maintenance way into the same schools and the same two-city access. First move-up buyers and right-sizers.
Detached $1.4M – $1.9M Established family homes on well-treed north-Coquitlam streets, close to the schools and Eagle Ridge Park, with renovation upside part of the appeal. The move-up family core of the neighbourhood.

Every band above is a working range, not a separate MLS® benchmark — Eagle Ridge has no published Eagle-Ridge-specific HPI. To see what’s live at your number right now, browse Coquitlam homes for sale or the citywide Coquitlam detached market.

Around Eagle Ridge

Four lifestyle zones around Eagle Ridge.

Eagle Ridge’s advantage is two-city access plus its own centre of gravity. Once you map it, daily life breaks into four nodes — the neighbourhood’s own park and trailhead, the Runnel Drive strip, and the two very different city destinations a short drive either way.

Zone 01 · The neighbourhood core

Its own park and trailhead.

Eagle Ridge Park — sports fields and a lacrosse box — and the base of the Coquitlam Crunch, the uphill stair-and-trail workout under the power lines, both sit right in the community. This is the everyday green space at the heart of Eagle Ridge.

Zone 02 · Runnel Drive

The everyday errands run.

Runnel Drive is the neighbourhood’s own shopping strip — Milestones, Tim Hortons, Sushitown, Creekside Coffee Factory and quick-serve spots — the close-to-home node for the daily run before you ever leave the neighbourhood.

Zone 03 · Coquitlam Town Centre (east)

The mall & the Evergreen Line.

A short drive east: Coquitlam Centre — the region’s major mall — plus Lafarge Lake, Town Centre Park and the Evergreen Line at Coquitlam Town Centre. The everyday big-destination side of Eagle Ridge.

Zone 04 · Port Moody (west)

Walkable inlet-side villages.

Because Eagle Ridge borders Port Moody, the inlet city is a short drive west: Newport Village, Suterbrook, Rocky Point Park and the Brewers Row craft-brewery mile. The walkable, waterfront side of daily life across the city line.

Daily life

Schools, parks, the shops & the commute.

Four things every Eagle Ridge buyer asks about in the first week. The honest answers below — with the full catchment ladder just underneath.

SD43 schools

Eagle Ridge is part of School District 43 (Coquitlam), with a tidy neighbourhood ladder: Eagle Ridge Elementary (1215 Falcon Drive) at K–5, Scott Creek Middle (1240 Lansdowne Drive) at grades 6–8, and Gleneagle Secondary (1195 Lansdowne Drive) at grades 9–12 — also home to SD43’s district-wide TALONS gifted program. The Scott Creek Community Garden sits between Scott Creek Middle and Eagle Ridge Elementary. Always verify a specific street with the SD43 locator.

Parks & trails

Eagle Ridge has its own park with sports fields and a lacrosse box, and it’s the base of the Coquitlam Crunch — the uphill stair-and-trail climb under the power lines. Mundy Park — Coquitlam’s largest urban forest — and Town Centre Park with the Lafarge Lake loop are both a short drive. The outdoors starts inside the neighbourhood here.

Runnel Drive & the shops

Runnel Drive is the neighbourhood’s own strip — Milestones, Tim Hortons, Sushitown, Creekside Coffee Factory and quick-serve spots for the daily run. Because Eagle Ridge borders Port Moody, two bigger destinations sit a short drive either way: Coquitlam Centre to the east, and Port Moody’s Newport Village and Suterbrook to the west.

Commute & access

Eagle Ridge is car-friendly for daily life but transit-accessible for commuting via the Evergreen Line. Drive to Coquitlam Central SkyTrain is roughly 8–12 minutes, Lincoln Station 10–14, and Lafarge Lake-Douglas 12–16. Inlet Centre Station in Port Moody is also a short drive to the west — the two-city access that defines the neighbourhood.

The K–12 catchment ladder

Schools that currently serve Eagle Ridge.

Eagle Ridge is part of SD43 Coquitlam, with a tidy neighbourhood ladder: Eagle Ridge Elementary (1215 Falcon Drive) at K–5, Scott Creek Middle (1240 Lansdowne Drive) at grades 6–8, and Gleneagle Secondary (1195 Lansdowne Drive) at grades 9–12. The Scott Creek Community Garden sits between Scott Creek Middle and Eagle Ridge Elementary. Catchment lines shift street-by-street, so always confirm a specific address with the SD43 locator before relying on it.

Compared to

Eagle Ridge vs Westwood Plateau vs Burke Mountain.

Both Eagle Ridge and Westwood Plateau are established, well-treed north/central Coquitlam neighbourhoods; Burke Mountain is the newer-construction alternative. Below is the honest, source-supported read on how they diverge. Eagle Ridge has no published Eagle-Ridge-specific benchmark, so competitor price cells are left blank rather than estimated.

Factor Eagle Ridge Westwood Plateau Burke Mountain
Housing stock A genuine mix — detached, townhome & condo Larger-lot detached; golf-course & view play Newer construction
Detached price (typical) ~$1.4M–$1.9M (working range) Higher detached entry point than Eagle Ridge
The draw Established family neighbourhood with its own park & school ladder Golf-course & view prestige, larger lots Brand-new construction
Access Borders Port Moody — quick to both Coquitlam Town Centre & Port Moody
School ladder Eagle Ridge → Scott Creek → Gleneagle
Best for Families wanting mixed stock & options across budgets View / golf-course prestige buyers Newer-construction-only buyers

Eagle Ridge’s detached figure is a working range from active north-Coquitlam market experience, not a published Eagle-Ridge-specific benchmark; competitor price cells are left as “—” rather than estimated. For the deeper reads: Westwood Plateau · Burke Mountain.

Decision framework

Is Eagle Ridge actually the right fit?

Every neighbourhood is a trade. Eagle Ridge’s trade is established-family-completeness and two-city access over brand-new construction or a view premium. Reading these two columns honestly saves time, stress, and expensive second-guessing.

Eagle Ridge is a strong fit if you’re…

  • A family who wants an established, well-treed neighbourhood with its own park and schools.
  • Orienting around the Eagle Ridge → Scott Creek → Gleneagle school ladder.
  • Open to detached, townhome or condo — you want options across budgets.
  • A buyer who values quick access to both Coquitlam Town Centre and Port Moody.

Why 47+ years in Coquitlam matters in Eagle Ridge.

I’m not an Eagle Ridge resident — and I won’t pretend to be. What I am is a 47+ year Coquitlam local who has watched north Coquitlam’s neighbourhoods trade through cycle after cycle. I know why Eagle Ridge prices the way it does relative to Westwood Plateau and Burke Mountain, how the Eagle Ridge → Scott Creek → Gleneagle school ladder shapes family demand, and how much the Port Moody border and the Crunch trailhead actually add to daily life here. That’s the read a fly-in agent can’t copy.
