Heritage Woods is a neighbourhood of Port Moody, BC — not Coquitlam — on the far north side of the city, above David Avenue. It's an upscale, master-planned forest-and-creek enclave originally developed by Parklane Homes and once named Best Residential Development in B.C. The housing is single-family homes, townhomes and luxury homes on expansive greenbelt lots that back onto trees and creeks. As a premium address it references the citywide Port Moody detached HPI of $1,947,300 (June 2026 GVR), with townhomes near the Port Moody townhouse HPI of $993,800. It's roughly 10–15 minutes to Newport Village and Suterbrook Village.
Heritage Woods doesn't publish its own MLS® benchmark, so the most honest reference points are the citywide Port Moody numbers — clearly labelled as such. What makes Heritage Woods distinct isn't a headline stat; it's the combination: newer master-planned homes on greenbelt lots, a premium Port Moody detached tier, and one of the Tri-Cities' most-requested school catchments all in one enclave. Here's the current pulse, with every figure linking to its source.
Heritage Woods is what a lot of Tri-Cities families picture when they imagine "moving up" — an upscale, master-planned enclave where the streets are quiet, the homes are newer, and the forest starts at the edge of the backyard.
It sits on the far north side of Port Moody, above David Avenue, and it was built deliberately. Originally master-planned by Parklane Homes and once named Best Residential Development in B.C., it was laid out to work with its setting rather than against it — single-family homes, townhomes and several luxury homes arranged on expansive greenbelt lots, many of them backing directly onto trees and creeks. That forest-and-creek character is the whole identity: you're inside a residential neighbourhood and a step from a trail at the same time.
The second half of the identity is the school catchment. Heritage Woods is the address families buy into for Aspenwood Elementary, Eagle Mountain Middle and the highly-rated Heritage Woods Secondary — one of SD43's most-requested high schools. A lot of the buying decisions here are made around that ladder years in advance.
Who it's not for: buyers who want a walkable-urban, transit-at-the-door lifestyle (that's Inlet Centre / Newport Village or Suterbrook), and buyers looking for an entry-level price point. Heritage Woods is upscale-family-in-the-forest, first and foremost.
Heritage Woods is predominantly a detached-home neighbourhood with a meaningful townhome component and a tier of luxury greenbelt homes. Here's the breakdown by category with the honest reference point and the right page to keep going. (Heritage Woods has no separate published benchmark; these reference the citywide Port Moody GVR figures, not a Heritage-Woods-specific HPI.)
The Heritage Woods mainstay — newer, master-planned family homes on greenbelt lots. As a premium north-Port-Moody address, these generally sit at or above the citywide Port Moody detached benchmark; verify any specific home on its own merits.
Browse Port Moody detachedHeritage Woods has a real townhome component — a lower-maintenance way into the same forest setting and the same school catchment, for downsizers and move-up families who want the location without the full detached carry.
Browse Port Moody townhomesThe top tier — larger luxury homes on expansive greenbelt lots backing onto trees and creeks. These trade above the citywide Port Moody detached number; the adjoining Heritage Mountain guide covers the wider executive-hillside picture.
Explore Heritage Mountain homesThe two most-asked Heritage Woods questions are about schools and green space — and here they're the same story. It's an SD43 catchment anchored by Aspenwood Elementary, Eagle Mountain Middle and Heritage Woods Secondary, and it's wrapped in greenbelt trails and creeks. Here's the detail.
Heritage Woods is part of School District 43 (Coquitlam), which also serves Port Moody. Most addresses feed Aspenwood Elementary at K–5, with Mountain Meadows Elementary serving parts of the wider area, then Eagle Mountain Middle and Heritage Woods Secondary. Always verify a specific street with the SD43 locator.
The forest is the point. Aspenwood Park and the Heritage Mountain Community Centre are inside the neighbourhood; Rocky Point Park and the wider Tri-Cities trail network are down the hill.
Heritage Woods' quiet advantage is that the outdoors is woven right through it. The neighbourhood's own parks handle everyday play, the greenbelt trails and creeks start at the backyard edge, and Port Moody's waterfront parks are a short drive down the hill.
The neighbourhood park — playgrounds, sports facilities and picnic areas, with the adjacent Aspenwood Park Community Centre's baseball diamonds and soccer fields.

Hikes & trails guideYouth sports in the Tri-Cities run through community associations rather than by neighbourhood, so a Heritage Woods family taps the same clubs the rest of Port Moody does. The advantage of Heritage Woods is location: the neighbourhood's own Aspenwood Park diamonds and soccer fields and the Heritage Mountain Community Centre are right there, and the Port Moody Recreation Complex — the city's main arena, pool and fitness hub — is a short drive down the hill. Here's the honest, association-by-association map.

Heritage Woods is car-oriented for daily life — that's the trade for the forest setting — but the useful stuff is close. Port Moody's two walkable villages cover the everyday run roughly 10–15 minutes down the hill, and Rocky Point and Brewers Row cover the weekend.

Heritage Woods is a neighbourhood of Port Moody, BC — not Coquitlam — on the far north side of the city, above David Avenue.

They're adjoining north-Port-Moody neighbourhoods and often discussed together. Heritage Woods is the forest-and-creek master-planned enclave above David Avenue with the Aspenwood / Eagle Mountain / Heritage Woods Secondary catchment; Heritage Mountain is the wider executive-hillside area with more Inlet and city views. Both are premium family addresses. Read the Heritage Mountain guide to compare.

Yes — for families who want an upscale, quiet, forest-and-creek setting with newer master-planned homes and a top-rated school catchment. It's less ideal if you want a walkable-urban, transit-at-the-door lifestyle (Inlet Centre / Newport Village or Suterbrook) or an entry-level price point.
Roughly 10–15 minutes by car to Port Moody's Newport Village and Suterbrook Village for grocery, restaurants, cafés and services, and to Rocky Point Park and Brewers Row. Inlet Centre and Moody Centre SkyTrain stations on the Evergreen extension are down the hill — car-oriented for daily life, transit-accessible for commuting.
I'm not a Heritage Woods resident — and I won't pretend to be. I was born in Port Moody and grew up on Ioco Road, so this hillside is home ground for me. What I am is a 47+ year Coquitlam local who has watched the Tri-Cities' neighbourhoods trade through cycle after cycle. I know why Heritage Woods prices the way it does relative to the rest of Port Moody, how the Aspenwood / Eagle Mountain / Heritage Woods Secondary catchment drives family demand, and what a greenbelt master-planned home is actually worth once you factor the lot and the school ladder. That's the read a fly-in agent can't copy.
