Upper Eagle Ridge is the higher-elevation part of Eagle Ridge in north Coquitlam — quiet, tree-lined winding streets and circular courts that climb toward Westwood Plateau, lined with larger detached homes that often carry mountain and City-Centre views. It’s a genuine step up in size and price from lower Eagle Ridge, with all three neighbourhood schools walkable and the Coquitlam Crunch at the doorstep. This is the complete guide: homes, schools, parks, sports, shopping, and the honest fit story. Built by Craig Johnston, REALTOR® V99960 — a 47+ year Coquitlam resident.

Upper Eagle Ridge doesn’t publish its own MLS® benchmark — it’s a pocket within Eagle Ridge, not a separate reporting area — so the most honest reference point is the citywide Coquitlam detached number, clearly labelled as such. What makes Upper Eagle Ridge distinct isn’t a headline stat; it’s the step up: larger, view-oriented detached homes on quiet hillside streets, a tier above lower Eagle Ridge. Here’s the current pulse.
July 2026 GVR benchmark · larger view homes here typically trade above it.
The Upper Eagle Ridge stock — predominantly larger detached, view-oriented.
The upper-pocket premium — a tier above the entry point.
The stair-climb trailhead sits at the neighbourhood’s doorstep.

Upper Eagle Ridge isn’t a try-everything neighbourhood. It’s a specific product — the larger-detached, view-oriented, walkable-schools upper pocket of Eagle Ridge. 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 — Burke Mountain, Westwood Plateau, or lower Eagle Ridge may fit you better.
Wanting a larger, view-oriented detached home on a quiet hillside street. This is Upper Eagle Ridge’s core buyer — the executive, move-up tier of Eagle Ridge rather than the entry point, where the larger 1990s-era detached stock, often with walk-out basements and mountain or City-Centre views, lives.
A family that values all three neighbourhood schools within walking distance. Upper Eagle Ridge anchors the Eagle Ridge Elementary → Summit Middle → Gleneagle Secondary ladder, and walkability to all three is one of the pocket’s key selling points.
Who wants the Coquitlam Crunch and the Westwood Plateau trails at the doorstep. You’re literally at the base of the Crunch — the city’s signature stair-climb workout — with the hillside trail network right above and Eagle Ridge Park in the neighbourhood.
Who wants the higher, quieter pocket of Eagle Ridge over the lower entry tier. Upper Eagle Ridge sits at higher elevation on winding, tree-lined streets and circular courts — a step up in size and price, chosen for the larger homes and the outlook rather than the lowest entry price.
Upper Eagle Ridge is the part of Eagle Ridge you notice for its houses — bigger, set on quiet winding streets that climb the hillside, with views that lower Eagle Ridge doesn’t get.
Geographically, it’s the higher-elevation top of the Eagle Ridge neighbourhood: tree-lined winding streets and circular courts that rise toward the Westwood Plateau boundary. The housing here is predominantly larger detached single-family homes — a lot of it 1990s-era, frequently with walk-out basements and mountain and City-Centre views — alongside a supply of well-kept townhomes. That mix, and the size of the detached stock, is what makes it read as the executive, move-up tier of Eagle Ridge rather than the entry point.
The location does a lot of quiet work. You’re at the base of the Coquitlam Crunch — the city’s signature stair-climb workout — with the Westwood Plateau trail network right above you. Coquitlam Town Centre (Lafarge Lake, the mall, the Evergreen Line) is a short drive east, and Port Moody’s Inlet, breweries and villages are a short drive west. All three neighbourhood schools — Eagle Ridge Elementary, Summit Middle and Gleneagle Secondary — are walkable, which is a genuine selling point for families.
The detached mainstay is larger single-family — often with 6+ bedrooms, walk-out basements and mountain or City-Centre views. Alongside it, Upper Eagle Ridge has a supply of well-kept townhomes: a lower-maintenance entry point into the hillside for downsizers and move-up buyers who want the location and schools without the full large-detached carry. Upper Eagle Ridge has no separately published sub-area benchmark; the citywide Coquitlam detached HPI is the closest official reference, and larger view homes here typically trade above it. Buyers who only want newer construction typically look at Burke Mountain instead.
Upper Eagle Ridge is overwhelmingly larger detached, with a supply of well-kept townhomes. It has no separately published sub-area benchmark, so the citywide Coquitlam detached HPI is the closest official reference — and larger view homes here typically trade above it. Below is the honest, source-supported breakdown; where a figure isn’t separately published, the cell is left as “—”.

Upper Eagle Ridge is car-oriented for daily life, but the useful stuff is close — and its quiet advantage is the outdoors. Here are the four sides of everyday life the neighbourhood is built around, from the trails at the doorstep to the villages a short drive west.
You’re literally at the base of the Coquitlam Crunch — the city’s signature stair-and-trail workout under the power lines — with the Westwood Plateau trail network right above and Eagle Ridge Park (sports fields plus a lacrosse box) in the neighbourhood. Town Centre Park and Lafarge Lake are a short drive east.
Upper Eagle Ridge anchors the SD43 Eagle Ridge Elementary (1215 Falcon Drive, K–5) → Summit Middle (6–8) → Gleneagle Secondary (9–12) ladder. Walkability to all three is one of the pocket’s biggest draws for families. Always verify a specific street with the SD43 locator.
Runnel Drive is Eagle Ridge’s own commercial strip — the closest everyday node — with Milestones, Tim Hortons, Sushitown and Creekside Coffee Factory. Coquitlam Centre, the region’s major mall, is a short drive east for anything bigger.
Some of the Tri-Cities’ best walkable dining and waterfront is minutes west, down toward the Inlet: Newport Village and Suterbrook Village, the Brewers Row craft-brewery mile, and Rocky Point Park on the Port Moody waterfront.

Upper Eagle Ridge is part of School District 43 (Coquitlam). The neighbourhood ladder is Eagle Ridge Elementary (1215 Falcon Drive) at K–5, Summit Middle at grades 6–8, and Gleneagle Secondary at grades 9–12 — all walkable, a key selling point. Always verify a specific street with the SD43 locator.

The K–12 catchment ladder

Catchment lines shift street-by-street, so always confirm a specific address with the SD43 locator before relying on it.

Upper Eagle Ridge has no separately published sub-area benchmark; the citywide Coquitlam detached HPI is the closest official reference. Keep comparing: the parent Eagle Ridge guide, Westwood Plateau, and Burke Mountain. If you’re stuck between the higher and lower parts of the hillside, the Eagle Ridge guide is where I would start.
Every neighbourhood is a trade. Upper Eagle Ridge’s trade is larger-home-and-views-and-walkable-schools over lowest-entry-price and brand-new construction. Reading these two columns honestly saves time, stress, and expensive second-guessing.
I’m not an Upper Eagle Ridge resident — and I won’t pretend to be. What I am is a 47+ year Coquitlam local who has watched north Coquitlam’s neighbourhoods trade through cycle after cycle. I know why the upper pocket of Eagle Ridge prices above the lower streets, how the walkable Eagle Ridge → Summit → Gleneagle ladder shapes family demand, and what a larger 1990s view home is actually worth once you factor the walk-out basement and the outlook. That’s the read a fly-in agent can’t copy.

“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. He negotiated fairly and thoroughly with the sellers and was our advocate all throughout our first home purchase.”David Catterall
“Craig kept me informed of the local market for a couple of years before I asked him to handle my Coquitlam sale. He laid out the strategy upfront, the listing generated a lot of interest, and we had an acceptable offer in under a month. I was stressed going in — Craig helped me overcome a lot of my anxiety. I’ve already introduced him to my sister, who plans to sell soon.”Fj Young
“Craig was there with us everyday. Guiding us to our next step we were kept informed daily sometimes multiple times a day as to what was happening… Our home sold in only 6 days with multiple offers.”Gerry & Aline Howitson
Quick answer
What is Upper Eagle Ridge, and who is it for?
Upper Eagle Ridge is the higher-elevation, executive sub-neighbourhood of Eagle Ridge in north Coquitlam, bordering Port Moody. Quiet, tree-lined winding streets and circular courts climb toward Westwood Plateau, lined predominantly with larger detached homes — many 1990s-era, often with walk-out basements and mountain and City-Centre views — plus well-kept townhomes. It has no separately published sub-area benchmark, so the citywide Coquitlam detached HPI of $1,627,600 (July 2026 GVR) is the closest official reference, with larger view homes typically trading above it. All three neighbourhood schools (Eagle Ridge Elementary → Summit Middle → Gleneagle Secondary) are walkable, and the Coquitlam Crunch is at the doorstep. It suits move-up and executive families wanting a larger, view-oriented home. Written by Craig Johnston, REALTOR® V99960 and 47+ year Coquitlam resident.
It’s the higher, higher-elevation part of the Eagle Ridge neighbourhood in north Coquitlam, bordering Port Moody. Quiet, tree-lined winding streets and circular courts climb toward Westwood Plateau, between Coquitlam Town Centre to the east and Port Moody to the west. Drive to Coquitlam Central SkyTrain: 8–12 minutes.
Upper Eagle Ridge is an executive, large-detached pocket — a step up in size and price from lower Eagle Ridge. It has no separately published sub-area benchmark, so the citywide Coquitlam detached HPI ($1,627,600, July 2026 GVR) is the closest official reference, with larger view homes here typically trading above that citywide figure. See the current citywide detached picture at /coquitlam-detached/.
Both are part of the same Eagle Ridge neighbourhood, but the upper pocket sits at higher elevation on winding, tree-lined streets and is lined predominantly with larger detached homes — many with mountain and City-Centre views and walk-out basements. That makes Upper Eagle Ridge the executive, move-up tier: a step up in size and price. Read the parent Eagle Ridge guide to see the full neighbourhood picture.

Yes — for move-up and executive families who want a larger, view-oriented detached home on a quiet hillside street, with all three neighbourhood schools walkable and the Coquitlam Crunch and Westwood Plateau trails on the doorstep. It’s less ideal if you want newer-construction-only inventory (Burke Mountain) or the lowest entry price into the area.
Drive to Coquitlam Central SkyTrain: 8–12 minutes. Lincoln Station: 10–14 minutes. Lafarge Lake-Douglas: 12–16 minutes. Inlet Centre Station in Port Moody is also a short drive west. Car-friendly for daily life, transit-accessible for commuting via the Evergreen Line.
