The Aspenwood Elementary catchment is one of the most-searched school boundaries in Port Moody. This page covers what homes actually look like inside the boundary, the current price band and time-on-market, how the boundaries work, and what to verify before you write an offer.
Quick answers
Is Aspenwood Elementary a good school?
Yes — a strong, well-regarded Heritage Mountain elementary and the primary K–5 feeder for the AP-heavy Heritage Woods Secondary pathway.
What homes are in the Aspenwood catchment?
Almost entirely detached, mountain-side single-family — 1990s–2000s builds plus newer rebuilds, on generous lots in quiet Heritage Mountain streets.
How much do Aspenwood catchment homes cost in 2026?
Detached typically $1.65M–$2.5M — the same band as the Heritage Woods catchment it feeds.
What schools does Aspenwood feed?
Eagle Mountain Middle → Heritage Woods Secondary — a clean Heritage Mountain K–12 pathway.
Is Heritage Mountain worth the premium?
For families targeting Heritage Woods, often yes — the premium has proven durable thanks to constrained mountain-side supply. Buy for the pathway, and verify the specific catchment.
The Aspenwood Elementary catchment covers a Heritage Mountain pocket of almost entirely detached, mountain-side single-family homes — the same housing that anchors the Heritage Woods Secondary catchment. Lots are generous, the streets are quiet and tree-lined, and the homes range from 1990s–2000s builds to newer rebuilds at the top of the band.
Because Aspenwood is the primary elementary feeder into the Eagle Mountain Middle → Heritage Woods pathway, the catchment carries Port Moody’s most durable school-driven premium. Detached homes inside trade roughly $1.65M–$2.5M.
Aspenwood is the elementary most Heritage Mountain families think of first — a strong, well-regarded school with an engaged PAC and an outdoor-oriented community feel that suits the mountain setting. It is the K–5 anchor of one of the strongest K–12 pathways in the Tri-Cities.
For families targeting Heritage Woods Secondary, starting at Aspenwood keeps the whole pathway clean: Aspenwood → Eagle Mountain Middle → Heritage Woods, all within the Heritage Mountain area.
Heritage Mountain is a buy-for-the-pathway neighbourhood. If Heritage Woods is your secondary target, an Aspenwood-catchment home keeps everything aligned. Expect to pay the Heritage Mountain premium — supply is genuinely constrained up here.
What to verify: confirm the specific address feeds Aspenwood (some Heritage Mountain edges route to other elementaries) and that it continues to Eagle Mountain Middle and Heritage Woods. SD43’s catchment tool is the authoritative source — pull it before you write.

Four things I tell every family chasing a specific catchment — learned the hard way over years of these searches.
Listing descriptions are wrong often enough to matter. Pull SD43’s catchment map for the specific house, every time.
Morning rush traffic and parking around the school is the real test of the neighbourhood, not the Sunday open house.
If one child is enrolled, siblings usually get priority — but it’s a soft rule, not a guarantee. Call the school directly.
Catchment-chasing is a multi-year hold, not a flip. Budget the home around the K–12 pathway, not this year’s grade.

Most families think in K–12 pathways, not single schools. These are the catchments and neighbourhood pages that usually pair with this one.
What secondary does Aspenwood Elementary feed?
Aspenwood feeds Eagle Mountain Middle and then Heritage Woods Secondary — one of Port Moody’s top, AP-heavy secondaries. Verify the specific address, as Heritage Mountain edges can vary.
Is Aspenwood better than the other Heritage Mountain elementary?
Both Heritage Mountain elementaries are strong and feed the same Eagle Mountain → Heritage Woods pathway. Aspenwood is the one most families associate with the area; choose on home location and verify the catchment.
Does Aspenwood have French immersion?
Aspenwood is generally an English-stream catchment school. For French Immersion in Port Moody, see the SD43 Programs of Choice list — immersion is application-based and district-wide, not tied to your address.
Will the Aspenwood catchment change?
Heritage Mountain is largely built-out, so major boundary changes are less likely than in growth areas like Burke Mountain. Still verify the current line for any specific address.
Why are Heritage Mountain homes so expensive?
Constrained mountain-side detached supply plus the durable Heritage Woods school premium. The combination keeps the price floor firm even in softer markets.
