Buying into this catchment — what I tell clients

Glenayre is the Port Moody pick for families who want a detached home and the Port Moody Secondary pathway without paying Heritage Mountain prices. The trade-off is older housing — many homes carry renovation or rebuild potential.

Before you write

Buyer tips for catchment hunters

Four things I tell every family chasing a specific catchment — learned the hard way over years of these searches.

Verify the exact address, not the listing

Listing descriptions are wrong often enough to matter. Pull SD43’s catchment map for the specific house, every time.

Tour during the school-run window

Morning rush traffic and parking around the school is the real test of the neighbourhood, not the Sunday open house.

Confirm sibling priority before banking on it

If one child is enrolled, siblings usually get priority — but it’s a soft rule, not a guarantee. Call the school directly.

Plan two to three years ahead

Catchment-chasing is a multi-year hold, not a flip. Budget the home around the K–12 pathway, not this year’s grade.
