Port Moody is the smallest of the three Tri-Cities municipalities, made up of ten distinct neighbourhoods — Moody Centre, Brewers Row, Inlet Centre & Newport Village, Suter Brook Village, Klahanie, Heritage Mountain, Heritage Woods, Rocky Point & Old Orchard, Ioco & April Road, and Glenayre. September 2026 GVR® data: detached HPI $1,903,500 (-8.4% YoY), townhouse $940,900, apartment $676,200. Two Evergreen SkyTrain stations (Moody Centre + Inlet Centre) connect Port Moody to downtown Vancouver. By Craig Johnston, REALTOR® V99960 — born in Port Moody, raised on Ioco Road, and a 47+ year Tri-Cities resident.
Port Moody trades at the top of the Tri-Cities by detached benchmark — driven by smaller inventory, Inlet-waterfront premiums, and Heritage Mountain catchment demand. The city's urban-village identity holds value differently than Coquitlam's larger suburb-rural mix. Here's the current pulse, with each figure linking to live listings.

Port Moody is not Coquitlam. The buyer profiles, the lifestyle promises, and the resale stories are different. If your situation matches one of these four, the neighbourhood grid below maps which pocket fits.
Wants walkable daily life — coffee in the morning, brewery on the weekend, kids on bikes to school. Lives at Suter Brook, Newport Village, or central Moody Centre. Pays the premium because walkability + Inlet trails + breweries is the lifestyle promise.
Specifically buying for Heritage Woods Secondary catchment + larger detached lots on the mountain. Long-stay forever-home decision. Premium pricing but premium resale stability through any market cycle. The view-streets are the rarest inventory in the city.
Single or couple, downtown-Vancouver work pattern, prioritizes Brewers Row + Rocky Point + SkyTrain access over yard. Suter Brook or Newport Village condos (Port Moody condo benchmark $676,200). Walkable to Moody Centre or Inlet Centre station for the Evergreen Line.
Looking at the rare waterfront or view-corridor home with direct Inlet exposure. Long-stay, view-driven, often a second-home or empty-nester decision. Pricing usually sits above Port Moody's detached benchmark ($1,903,500); $3M+ detached sales in September 2026: 1.
Port Moody is small enough to walk end-to-end in a day — but it breaks into ten neighbourhoods with different price bands, school catchments, and lifestyle character. Pick the neighbourhood before the house. Every one has its own deep-dive guide on this site.
Port Moody's tiers run higher than Coquitlam at the detached top — but the entry-condo tier is competitive thanks to dense Suter Brook + Newport Village + Inlet Centre product. The benchmarks below are September 2026 GVR® figures; inside each tier, price is set street by street from recent comparable sales.
| Tier | Benchmark / sales (September 2026) | What it typically buys | Where |
|---|---|---|---|
| Entry condo | Port Moody apartment benchmark $676,200; 17 of 21 condo sales were $400K–$899,999 | 1–2 bed, modern strata. | Suter Brook, Inlet Centre, Newport Village |
| Premium condo / entry townhome | Port Moody townhouse benchmark $940,900 | 2–3 bed condo or entry townhome. | Klahanie, Inlet Centre, Suter Brook |
| Premium townhome | Priced from recent sales | 3–4 bed, attached double garage. | Klahanie, Moody Centre, Heritage Mountain edge |
| Entry detached | Port Moody detached benchmark $1,903,500 | 3–4 bed, established lot. | Lower Heritage Mountain, Moody Centre, Glenayre |
| Mid detached | Priced from recent sales | 4–5 bed, premium street or view. | Heritage Mountain, Rocky Point-adjacent, College Park |
| Upper detached / luxury | $2M+ detached: 4 sales, 72 active listings | 5-bed+, view-street or waterfront-adjacent. | Upper Heritage Mountain, Inlet view-streets |

Four things every Port Moody buyer asks about in the first week. The honest answers below.
School District 43 (SD43) operates all PM public schools. The headline catchment for most premium Port Moody addresses is Heritage Woods Secondary (also serves western Westwood Plateau). Elementary catchments include Aspenwood, Heritage Mountain Elementary, Pleasantside, Moody Elementary, and Glenayre Elementary. Middle: Eagle Mountain Middle or Moody Middle. Catchments shift — always verify.
The brewery district along Murray Street is the city's identity. Brewers Row + Rocky Point Park + Shoreline Trail + the pier deliver the walkable urban-village lifestyle that defines Port Moody. This trio + Newport Village is what the city is selling, and what the premium is paying for.
Port Moody has two stations on the Evergreen Line: Moody Centre and Inlet Centre. SkyTrain connects to downtown Vancouver with a transfer, and West Coast Express stops at Moody Centre on weekday commuter runs — check TransLink’s Trip Planner for door-to-door times. The Moody Centre station is in the brewery district; Inlet Centre serves Newport Village + Suter Brook. Heritage Mountain addresses are a short drive from the nearest station.
SkyTrain connects to downtown Vancouver with a transfer, and West Coast Express stops at Moody Centre on weekday commuter runs — check TransLink’s Trip Planner for door-to-door times. Driving time downtown varies a lot with traffic — check Google Maps for your route. Highway 1 access via Barnet Highway and United Boulevard. Compared to Coquitlam: PM's two stations are smaller catchment but more central to walkable amenities.
The three Tri-Cities cities are not interchangeable. Different price bands, different inventories, different identities.
| Factor | Port Moody | Coquitlam | Port Coquitlam |
|---|---|---|---|
| Detached HPI (September 2026) | $1,903,500 | $1,584,400 | $1,240,600 |
| Inventory depth | Smallest, urban-village focused | Deepest in Tri-Cities | Mid, family-value tier |
| SkyTrain coverage | 2 Evergreen stations (Moody, Inlet) | 3 Evergreen + 1 Burquitlam | West Coast Express only |
| Defining character | Walkable urban village + Inlet waterfront + breweries | Diverse: urban + family + new-build | Family value tier + Fraser River |
| Best for | Walkable-lifestyle buyers, brewery-district pros, Heritage Woods catchment | Inventory depth, SD43 + transit + suburbs | Price-accessible family inventory |
Side-by-side: Coquitlam vs Port Moody. For Heritage Mountain specifically: Heritage vs Westwood Plateau.
Port Moody is the most distinctive of the three Tri-Cities. That distinctive character isn't right for every buyer.
Real situations, real timelines. Full case studies link to the dedicated write-ups.
Port Moody's ten neighbourhoods reward street-level knowledge. Three reviews below from Tri-Cities families on pricing, communication, and follow-through.
“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 — 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
The walkable urban-village identity. Brewers Row along Murray Street, Rocky Point Park + Shoreline Trail, Newport Village shopping + dining, two Evergreen SkyTrain stations (Moody Centre + Inlet Centre), and the Inlet waterfront. The brewery-district + walkable-village identity is structurally different from suburban Coquitlam.
September 2026 GVR®: detached HPI $1,903,500 (-8.4% YoY, highest of the 3 Tri-Cities cities), townhouse $940,900 (-5.2% YoY), apartment $676,200 (-4.9% YoY). Heritage Mountain's own published detached benchmark is $1,933,800 ($30,300 above the city figure); its view streets command premiums over the neighbourhood's interior lots.
Different products for different buyers. Port Moody wins on walkable urban-village lifestyle, brewery-district identity, Inlet trails, and Heritage Woods Secondary catchment access. Coquitlam wins on inventory depth, SkyTrain coverage (4 stations vs 2), school catchment diversity, and newer-build family detached at lower price points. Direct comparison: Coquitlam vs Port Moody →
School District 43 (SD43). The headline secondary catchment for most premium PM addresses is Heritage Woods Secondary. Elementary catchments include Aspenwood, Heritage Mountain Elementary, Pleasantside, Moody Elementary, and Glenayre Elementary. Middle: Eagle Mountain Middle or Moody Middle. Catchments shift — always verify the specific address with SD43.
Depends on priorities. Heritage Mountain for executive detached + Heritage Woods catchment. Klahanie for Inlet-side family townhomes. Suter Brook + Inlet Centre + Newport Village for walkable condo + townhome density. Moody Centre + Brewers Row for the historic brewery-district identity. Rocky Point + Old Orchard for Inlet-frontage proximity. Glenayre + College Park for quieter established family streets.
Yes — two stations on the Evergreen Line: Moody Centre (brewery district + historic core) and Inlet Centre (Newport Village + Suter Brook + Inlet trails). SkyTrain connects to downtown Vancouver with a transfer, and West Coast Express stops at Moody Centre on weekday commuter runs — check TransLink’s Trip Planner for door-to-door times. Heritage Mountain addresses are a short drive from the nearest station.

The central node — Moody Centre + Inlet Centre + Newport Village + Suter Brook + Rocky Point + Brewers Row — is one of the most walkable areas in the Tri-Cities. Heritage Mountain, Klahanie, and the western edge are car-dependent. The walkable-vs-car-dependent split is one of the city's defining choices for buyers.
Depends on your specific situation, timeline, and risk tolerance. The 2026 market is balanced — not the 2021 frenzy. Port Moody's smaller inventory keeps competition tighter at the urban-village tier than the broader Coquitlam market. A 20-minute strategy call covers your specific timing question.
I’m from here — 47 years and counting in the Tri-Cities, and today I’m a longtime Coquitlam resident who raised my own family on Burke Mountain. I’ve watched the Inlet waterfront change, the breweries arrive on Murray Street, the Evergreen Line open at Moody Centre and Inlet Centre, and Heritage Mountain fill in street by street. That lived-experience layer — knowing which Heritage Woods streets hold their view and how Klahanie trades against Suter Brook — is the thing an AI summary can’t fake.
