Port Moody is the second-smallest Tri-Cities city — but it punches above its weight. Inlet waterfront, two Evergreen SkyTrain stations, a craft-brewery district that defines the city's identity, and seven distinct sub-neighbourhoods. May 2026 GVR® detached HPI sits at $1,939,400 (-5.5% YoY) — the highest of the three Tri-Cities cities. This is the straight-talk guide from a 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. Limited supply tightens days-on-market; the city's urban-village identity holds value differently than Coquitlam's larger suburb-rural mix.
-5.5% YoY · highest of the 3 Tri-Cities cities.
-3.1% YoY · tighter inventory than Coquitlam townhomes.
-5.7% YoY · Suter Brook + Newport Village walkable.
-4.3% YoY · Port Moody-wide all-property blend.

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 rest of this page maps which sub-neighbourhood 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 $700K–$1.2M. 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 starts above Port Moody's median and runs into the $3M+ tier on premium lots.
Port Moody is small enough to walk end-to-end in a day — but it breaks into seven sub-areas with different price bands, school catchments, and lifestyle character. Pick the sub-area before the house.
Established executive hillside with Inlet and city views. Heritage Woods Secondary catchment. Detached $1.6M–$3M+. View-street premium of 9–14%. Long-stay forever-home decision for most buyers.
Heritage Mountain guide →Modern Inlet-side master-planned community. Townhomes and mid-rise condos around Klahanie Drive. Walking-distance to Newport Village. Family-friendly + amenity-rich. Townhomes typically $1.1M–$1.5M.
Klahanie guide →The walkable heart. Two SkyTrain stations (Moody Centre + Inlet Centre). Brewers Row, Rocky Point Park, Newport Village, Suter Brook. Condos $500K–$1.2M, townhomes $1.0M–$1.4M. Densest urban-village in the Tri-Cities.
Port Moody Centre guide →Mixed-use density around Inlet Centre SkyTrain. Newport Village shopping + dining + medical anchor. Condo product 2008+ build, townhomes from the early 2000s. Walking distance to Rocky Point Park.
Inlet Centre guide →The historic original Port Moody — St. Johns Street, the rail-heritage corridor, and Brewers Row. Mix of older detached and newer infill townhomes. Moody Centre SkyTrain anchors. The city's brewery-district identity lives here.
Moody Centre guide →Inlet-frontage neighbourhood west of Moody Centre. Mature streets, established detached stock, Rocky Point Park access, Shoreline Trail at the door. Walking-distance to breweries + Suter Brook. Premium for waterfront-adjacent lots.
Rocky Point guide →Quieter established family neighbourhoods west of Moody Centre. Glenayre Elementary anchor, mature detached stock from the 1960s–1990s, family-friendly cul-de-sacs. Less amenity density than central PM — the trade-off is quiet + larger lots.
Browse PM detached →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. Below is the May 2026 reality.
| Tier | Price band (May 2026) | What it typically buys | Where |
|---|---|---|---|
| Entry condo | $500K – $750K | 1–2 bed, ~600–900 sq ft, modern strata. | Suter Brook, Inlet Centre, Newport Village |
| Premium condo / entry townhome | $750K – $1.1M | 2–3 bed condo or entry townhome, ~900–1,500 sq ft. | Klahanie, Inlet Centre, Suter Brook |
| Premium townhome | $1.1M – $1.5M | 3–4 bed, ~1,700–2,200 sq ft, attached double garage. | Klahanie, Moody Centre, Heritage Mountain edge |
| Entry detached | $1.6M – $2.0M | 3–4 bed, ~2,500–3,200 sq ft, established lot. | Lower Heritage Mountain, Moody Centre, Glenayre |
| Mid detached | $2.0M – $2.5M | 4–5 bed, ~3,200–4,000 sq ft, premium street or view. | Heritage Mountain, Rocky Point-adjacent, College Park |
| Upper detached / luxury | $2.5M+ | 5-bed+, ~4,000–5,500+ sq ft, 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. Downtown Vancouver via the Millennium Line: 30–40 minutes off-peak. The Moody Centre station is in the brewery district; Inlet Centre serves Newport Village + Suter Brook. Heritage Mountain addresses are 5–12 minutes by car to the nearest station.
Downtown Vancouver via SkyTrain: 30–40 minutes off-peak from the PM stations. Driving downtown peak: 45–65 minutes; off-peak: 30–45 minutes. 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 (May 2026) | $1,939,400 | $1,654,000 | $1,320,700 |
| 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.

What is the Port Moody, BC real estate market like in 2026?
Port Moody is the second-smallest of the three Tri-Cities municipalities. Seven distinct sub-neighbourhoods: Heritage Mountain (executive hillside), Klahanie (Inlet-side village), Port Moody Centre (SkyTrain + brewery district), Inlet Centre + Newport Village (mixed-use), Moody Centre + Brewers Row (historic core), Rocky Point + Old Orchard (Inlet-waterfront), and Glenayre / College Park (established family west). May 2026 GVR® data: detached HPI $1,939,400 (-5.5% YoY), townhouse $982,200, apartment $703,000. Two Evergreen SkyTrain stations: Moody Centre + Inlet Centre. Downtown Vancouver in 30–40 minutes by SkyTrain. By Craig Johnston, REALTOR® V99960, 47+ year Tri-Cities resident.
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.
May 2026 GVR®: detached HPI $1,939,400 (-5.5% YoY, highest of the 3 Tri-Cities cities), townhouse $982,200 (-3.1% YoY), apartment $703,000 (-5.7% YoY). Heritage Mountain view-streets command 9–14% premiums on top of the city-wide benchmark.
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). Downtown Vancouver in 30–40 minutes off-peak via the Evergreen + Millennium Lines. Heritage Mountain addresses are 5–12 minutes by car to the nearest station.
From the PM SkyTrain stations to downtown: 30–40 minutes off-peak. Driving downtown peak: 45–65 minutes; off-peak: 30–45 minutes. Highway 1 access via Barnet Highway and United Boulevard.
The central node — Moody Centre + Inlet Centre + Newport Village + Suter Brook + Rocky Point + Brewers Row — is the most walkable urban village 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.
