Heritage Woods is the quiet, tree-and-creek pocket on the far north side of Port Moody, above David Avenue — a master-planned community of single-family homes, townhomes and luxury greenbelt lots, once named Best Residential Development in B.C. It’s the school-catchment address families buy into: Aspenwood Elementary, Eagle Mountain Middle and the highly-rated Heritage Woods Secondary. This is the complete guide: homes, schools, parks, sports, shopping and the honest market read. Built by a 47+ year Coquitlam resident who sells inside one of Royal LePage’s Top 2% Nationwide teams.

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 is the current pulse.

Port Moody · June 2026 GVR
Source: Greater Vancouver REALTORS® (GVR) monthly HPI, June 2026 — Port Moody detached $1,947,300 and Port Moody townhouse $993,800 (citywide). Heritage Woods has no separately published MLS® benchmark, so those citywide Port Moody figures are the closest official reference points; luxury greenbelt homes trade above the citywide detached number.

Heritage Woods is a specific product for specific buyers — upscale-family-in-the-forest, first and foremost. Its trade is forest-setting-and-top-schools over walkable-urban-and-entry-price. 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 — Inlet Centre / Newport Village, Suterbrook or a lower-entry Tri-Cities pocket may fit you better.
A move-up family wanting a newer, master-planned home in a quiet forest setting — exactly what a lot of Tri-Cities families picture when they imagine “moving up.” The streets are quiet, the homes are newer, and the forest starts at the edge of the backyard. This is Heritage Woods’ most consistent buyer.
A family buying around the Aspenwood / Eagle Mountain Middle / Heritage Woods Secondary ladder. Heritage Woods is the address families buy into for the highly-rated, most-requested SD43 catchment, and a lot of the buying decisions here are made around that ladder years in advance.
A premium-detached buyer who wants greenbelt lots and trails at the door — the top tier here is larger luxury homes on expansive greenbelt lots backing directly onto trees and creeks. Comfortable at or above the citywide Port Moody detached number, where luxury greenbelt homes trade.
A buyer weighing Heritage Woods against neighbouring Heritage Mountain. The two adjoining north-Port-Moody neighbourhoods are often discussed together: Heritage Woods is the forest-and-creek master-planned enclave, Heritage Mountain the wider executive hillside with more Inlet and city views.

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.
It is predominantly a detached-home neighbourhood — newer, master-planned family homes on greenbelt lots — with a meaningful townhome component and a tier of luxury greenbelt homes. The townhomes are 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. The luxury tier is larger homes on expansive greenbelt lots backing onto trees and creeks, trading above the citywide Port Moody detached number. Heritage Woods has no separate published benchmark; these reference the citywide Port Moody GVR figures, not a Heritage-Woods-specific HPI.
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. Buyers weighing the wider executive-hillside picture often look at neighbouring Heritage Mountain as well.
Heritage Woods is predominantly a detached-home neighbourhood with a meaningful townhome component and a tier of luxury greenbelt homes. Below is the breakdown by category with the honest reference point and which buyer it tends to suit. Heritage Woods has no separately published benchmark, so these reference the citywide Port Moody GVR figures (June 2026), not a Heritage-Woods-specific HPI.
| Tier | Reference point (June 2026) | What it typically buys | Best fit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Townhomes | Port Moody townhouse HPI ≈ $993,800 (citywide) | A lower-maintenance way into the same forest setting and the same school catchment. | Downsizers and move-up families who want the location without the full detached carry. |
| Detached homes | Port Moody detached HPI ≈ $1,947,300 (citywide) | 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 detached benchmark. | Move-up forest families and premium-detached buyers. |
| Luxury greenbelt homes | Above the citywide benchmark | The top tier — larger luxury homes on expansive greenbelt lots backing onto trees and creeks. | Buyers who want greenbelt lots and trails at the door; weigh against Heritage Mountain. |
Every figure above is a citywide Port Moody GVR reference point, not a separate Heritage-Woods MLS® benchmark; verify any specific home on its own merits. To see what’s live right now, browse Port Moody detached homes or Port Moody townhomes.
Heritage Woods’ quiet advantage is that the outdoors is woven right through it, with the school catchment and Port Moody’s villages close behind. Here are the four things that shape day-to-day life in the neighbourhood.
Expansive greenbelt lots, many of them backing directly onto trees and creeks, with extensive greenbelt hiking trails lacing through the neighbourhood. You’re inside a residential neighbourhood and a step from a trail at the same time — the defining feature of Heritage Woods.
The neighbourhood park — playgrounds, sports facilities and picnic areas, with the adjacent Aspenwood Park Community Centre’s baseball diamonds and soccer fields. The Heritage Mountain Community Centre adds a park, walking trails and leisure sports right inside the neighbourhood.
Aspenwood Elementary at K–5, Eagle Mountain Middle — notable for its five outdoor classrooms — and the highly-rated Heritage Woods Secondary. It’s one of the Tri-Cities’ most-requested catchments, and a lot of the buying decisions here are made around that ladder.
Car-oriented for daily life, but the useful stuff is close: Newport Village and Suterbrook Village are roughly 10–15 minutes down the hill for grocery, restaurants and services, with Rocky Point Park and Brewers Row covering the weekend.

Four things every Heritage Woods buyer asks about in the first week. The honest answers below — with the full catchment ladder just underneath.
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, notable for its five outdoor classrooms, and the highly-rated Heritage Woods Secondary. Catchment lines shift street-by-street; always verify a specific address with the SD43 locator.
The forest is the point. Aspenwood Park and the Heritage Mountain Community Centre are inside the neighbourhood, and extensive greenbelt hiking trails and creeks start at the backyard edge, with many lots backing directly onto the forest. Down the hill, Rocky Point Park and the wider Tri-Cities trail network are a short drive away.
The two Inlet-side walkable villages sit roughly 10–15 minutes down the hill — the closest full-service everyday nodes. Newport Village and Suterbrook Village cover grocery, restaurants, cafés and daily services, while Rocky Point and Brewers Row — Port Moody’s walkable brewery mile — cover the weekend.
Heritage Woods is car-oriented for daily life — that’s the trade for the forest setting — but transit-accessible for commuting. Inlet Centre and Moody Centre SkyTrain stations on the Millennium Line’s Evergreen extension are down the hill, along with the Port Moody Recreation Complex (arena, pool, fitness). The trade-off versus a walkable-urban pocket is drive-time for the greenbelt lot and top school catchment.
The K–12 catchment ladder
Heritage Woods is part of SD43 (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 at grades 6–8 and the highly-rated Heritage Woods Secondary at grades 9–12. Catchment lines shift street-by-street, so always confirm a specific address with the SD43 locator before relying on it.

Every neighbourhood is a trade. Heritage Woods’ trade is forest-setting-and-top-schools over walkable-urban-and-entry-price. Reading these two columns honestly saves time, stress, and expensive second-guessing.
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.

“We received seven offers, and Craig held firm on our priorities: no subject to sale and achieving our price. We took the home off the market over Christmas, but behind the scenes Craig continued working. When we re-listed in January, it sold in just three days to buyers he had been nurturing — at the price we wanted.”Jim Turnbull
“Craig sold my property in just 6 days. After receiving one offer, he quickly reconnected with all the other realtors who had viewed the property, and before I knew it, we had multiple offers — all over asking price.”Heather Fox
“Craig worked with my wife and me for over 3 years to find the perfect home. He was endlessly patient with us through the process. Eventually, we found our perfect home and he moved fast to execute on our behalf.”David Catterall

What is Heritage Woods, and who is it for?
Heritage Woods is an upscale, master-planned family neighbourhood on the far north side of Port Moody — not Coquitlam — above David Avenue. It’s a forest-and-creek setting of single-family homes, townhomes and luxury greenbelt lots, originally developed by Parklane Homes and once named Best Residential Development in B.C., anchored by Aspenwood Elementary, Eagle Mountain Middle and the highly-rated Heritage Woods Secondary. 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; luxury greenbelt homes trade higher. It’s roughly 10–15 minutes to Newport Village and Suterbrook Village. It suits move-up forest families, school-catchment families, premium-detached greenbelt buyers, and those weighing it against Heritage Mountain. Written by Craig Johnston, REALTOR® V99960 and 47+ year Coquitlam resident.

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.
