Who Glenayre is for ## Four families Glenayre is built for. The quiet-streets family Wants the quietest established residential streets in Port Moody — cul-de-sacs, low traffic, established neighbours, walking-distance Glenayre Elementary. Not interested in central-PM walkability trade-offs. The Glenayre Elementary family Specifically buying for catchment access to Glenayre Elementary (4985 Linden Drive). Young-family pool buying for the walking-distance school route + cul-de-sac safety. The smart-buying value family Looking at Heritage Mountain but priced out at entry. Glenayre delivers established Port Moody character at meaningfully lower entry pricing. Strong commuter access via Barnet Highway to Burnaby + downtown. The Burnaby-border commuter Working in Burnaby or downtown via Barnet Highway. Glenayre's western Port Moody position delivers the fastest Barnet access of any PM neighbourhood — meaningful for daily commute optimization. Daily life ## Schools, parks, transit & the commute. ### SD43 schools Most Glenayre addresses feed **Glenayre Elementary** (4985 Linden Drive) at K-5, then typically **Moody Middle** at 6-8, and **Port Moody Secondary** at 9-12. Catchments shift — verify the specific address with SD43. ### Parks & trails Multiple neighbourhood parks within the cul-de-sac network. Shoreline Trail (Burrard Inlet) is 8–12 minutes by car. Rocky Point Park 10–15 minutes. Local trail access to Burnaby Mountain on the western edge. ### SkyTrain & transit Drive to Moody Centre SkyTrain: 5–10 minutes. Inlet Centre Station: 8–12 minutes. Lougheed Town Centre Station: 8–12 minutes (Burnaby side via Barnet). Glenayre is car-dependent for daily life but well-positioned for multiple transit options. ### Commute & access Downtown Vancouver via SkyTrain (drive + Evergreen + Millennium): 40–50 minutes. Driving downtown peak: 40–55 minutes via Barnet Highway. The Barnet corridor access is Glenayre's structural commute advantage versus eastern Port Moody neighbourhoods. Decision framework ## Is Glenayre the right fit? ### Glenayre is a strong fit if… - You want established Port Moody character without premium pricing. - You're a young family wanting walking-distance Glenayre Elementary. - You value quiet cul-de-sacs + established neighbours + family streets. - You commute to Burnaby or downtown via Barnet Highway. - You want a long-stay value play in the broader Port Moody market. ### Glenayre may be less ideal if… - You specifically want Heritage Woods Secondary catchment — Heritage Mountain or Westwood Plateau serve that. - You want walkable urban-village amenities — Moody Centre / Inlet Centre / Newport Village. - You want newer construction — very limited inventory at the entry tier. - You're a luxury buyer at $2.5M+ — Heritage Mountain has deeper view-corridor inventory.
