Who Glenayre is for

Four families Glenayre is built for.

The quiet-streets family

Wants quiet, 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 (495 Glencoe 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 gives direct Barnet Highway access — useful for a Burnaby or downtown commute.

Daily life

Schools, parks, transit & the commute.

SD43 schools

Most Glenayre addresses feed Glenayre Elementary (495 Glencoe 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) and Rocky Point Park are a short drive away. Local trail access to Burnaby Mountain on the western edge.

SkyTrain & transit

Moody Centre and Inlet Centre stations are a short drive away, and Lougheed Town Centre Station (Burnaby) is reachable via Barnet Highway. Check Google Maps or the TransLink Trip Planner for your address. Glenayre is car-dependent for daily life but well-positioned for multiple transit options.

Commute & access

Downtown Vancouver is reachable by SkyTrain (drive to a Millennium Line station) or by car via Barnet Highway. Times vary a lot by hour, so check the TransLink Trip Planner or Google Maps for your route. 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.
