Who Ioco / April Road is for ## Four buyers Ioco & April Road are built for. 01 ### The quiet-streets family Wants the absolute quietest residential streets in Port Moody — cul-de-sacs, low traffic, established neighbours. The trade-off: less amenity density than Moody Centre or Newport Village. 02 ### The Inlet-proximity buyer Wants daily Burrard Inlet access — Old Mill Park, Inlet trail network, kayak access, ferry to Belcarra Regional Park. Not committed to Belcarra waterfront pricing but wants water proximity. 03 ### The mid-century-stock buyer Comfortable with 1950s–1980s build stock, sometimes-larger lots, and the renovation-or-tear-down decision tree. Often a value-tier buyer in the broader $2M Tri-Cities luxury band. 04 ### The long-stay forever family 20+ year horizon. Buys for the trail network + Inlet proximity + quiet character. Less interested in walkability or urban-village identity. The character + quiet trade-off is the lifestyle promise. Daily life ## Schools, Old Mill Park, trails & the commute. ### SD43 schools Most addresses feed **Pleasantside Elementary** at K-5, then **Moody Middle** at 6-8, and **Port Moody Secondary** at 9-12. Catchments shift — verify the specific address with SD43. ### Old Mill Park & Inlet trails Old Mill Park sits on the historic Ioco refinery shoreline. The Inlet trail network connects east to Belcarra Regional Park and west to Rocky Point Park + Shoreline Trail. Kayak, hiking, and waterfront recreation are the defining daily-life amenities. ### Historic Ioco townsite The original Ioco townsite was an oil-refinery company town built by Imperial Oil in 1914. Many of the original townsite heritage buildings have been preserved. Active redevelopment proposals for the broader Ioco lands are in various stages through Port Moody municipal planning. ### Commute & access No SkyTrain in the immediate area. Drive to Inlet Centre SkyTrain (Port Moody): 8–15 minutes. Downtown Vancouver by car: 50–75 minutes peak. Ioco / April Road is car-dependent. The trade-off is rural-feel character + Inlet trail access. Decision framework ## Is Ioco / April Road the right fit? ### Ioco / April Road is a strong fit if… - You want the absolute quietest residential streets in Port Moody. - You value Inlet proximity + trail-network access as daily-life amenities. - You're comfortable with mid-century build stock and the renovation conversation. - You're a long-stay forever family at the $2M tier. - You want Port Moody Secondary catchment without Heritage Mountain premium. ### Ioco / April Road may be less ideal if… - You need SkyTrain or transit-oriented density — Inlet Centre or Moody Centre fit better. - You want walkable urban-village amenities — Newport Village / Suter Brook deliver that. - You want true waterfront — Belcarra is the destination. - You want newer construction — very limited inventory.
