“We received seven offers, and Craig held firm on our priorities.”Jim Turnbull
Glenayre is Port Moody's established west-side family residential neighbourhood — anchored by Glenayre Elementary, primarily 1960s–1990s detached stock, family cul-de-sacs, and quieter streets than central Moody Centre. The quietest and most-established Port Moody family choice, with strong Burnaby-side commute access via Barnet Highway.

Glenayre prices below central Port Moody and Heritage Mountain at the detached tier. Established 1960s–1990s stock, family cul-de-sacs, and a value-tier resale story for buyers who want established Port Moody character without premium pricing.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

West-side Port Moody, anchored by Glenayre Elementary at 4985 Linden Drive. Drive to Moody Centre SkyTrain: 5–10 minutes. The western position delivers fastest Barnet Highway access of any PM neighbourhood.
Detached typically $1.6M–$2.1M, premium street / renovated / view-corridor $2.1M–$2.6M. Meaningfully below Heritage Mountain at equivalent character. Port Moody-wide June 2026 detached HPI is $1,947,300 (-7.3% YoY).
SD43 Coquitlam. Most addresses feed Glenayre Elementary (4985 Linden Drive) at K-5, then Moody Middle at 6-8, and Port Moody Secondary at 9-12. Catchments shift — always verify the specific address with SD43.
Heritage Mountain for executive hillside character, view-corridor luxury, and Heritage Woods Secondary catchment. Glenayre for value-tier established family streets with Port Moody Secondary catchment. Glenayre is ~$300K below Heritage Mountain at the entry tier.
For first-time detached buyers in the $1.6M+ range, yes — Glenayre delivers established detached at the lowest entry tier in Port Moody. For condo / townhome first-time buyers, Inlet Centre or Suter Brook serve that profile better.
Drive to Moody Centre SkyTrain: 5–10 minutes. Inlet Centre Station: 8–12 minutes. Lougheed Town Centre Station (Burnaby side via Barnet): 8–12 minutes. Multi-station car-accessibility is a Glenayre advantage versus single-station neighbourhoods.
Twenty minutes is enough to map the Glenayre vs Heritage Mountain value math, the catchment ladder, and whether Glenayre fits your stage of life.
