The Heritage Mountain 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 Heritage Mountain Elementary a good school?
Yes — a strong Heritage Mountain elementary and one of the two K–5 feeders into the AP-heavy Heritage Woods pathway, peer-tier with Aspenwood.
What homes are in the Heritage Mountain Elementary catchment?
Detached, mountain-side single-family — 1990s–2000s builds and newer rebuilds on generous lots; detached typically $1.65M–$2.5M.
How much do homes here cost in 2026?
Detached typically $1.65M–$2.5M — the same band as Aspenwood and the Heritage Woods catchment it feeds.
What schools does it feed?
Eagle Mountain Middle → Heritage Woods Secondary — a clean Heritage Mountain K–12 pathway.
Heritage Mountain Elementary or Aspenwood?
Marginal differences — both are strong and feed the same Eagle Mountain → Heritage Woods pathway. Choose the home and verify the catchment.
The Heritage Mountain Elementary catchment covers a Heritage Mountain pocket of detached, mountain-side single-family homes — peer to the Aspenwood catchment next door. 1990s–2000s builds and newer rebuilds on generous, tree-lined lots; detached trades roughly $1.65M–$2.5M.
It feeds the Eagle Mountain Middle → Heritage Woods pathway, so it carries Port Moody’s most durable school-driven premium. For K–12 planning, Heritage Mountain Elementary and Aspenwood are functionally interchangeable — both lead to Heritage Woods.
Heritage Mountain Elementary is the second of the two Heritage Mountain elementaries, with a strong reputation and the same outdoor-oriented community feel as Aspenwood. It anchors the K–5 step of a top Tri-Cities pathway.
The marginal differences between the two Heritage Mountain elementaries are small; the decision that matters is the Heritage Woods secondary, which both feed.
If Heritage Woods is the target, either Heritage Mountain elementary keeps the pathway aligned. Choose the home; the elementary choice between Heritage Mountain Elementary and Aspenwood is marginal. Expect the Heritage Mountain premium and thin inventory.

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 Heritage Mountain Elementary feed?
Eagle Mountain Middle, then Heritage Woods Secondary — one of Port Moody’s top, AP-heavy secondaries. Verify the specific address with SD43.
Is it the same as Aspenwood?
Functionally similar — both are Heritage Mountain elementaries feeding the same Eagle Mountain → Heritage Woods pathway. Marginal differences; choose on home location and verify the catchment.
Why are Heritage Mountain homes expensive?
Constrained mountain-side detached supply plus the durable Heritage Woods premium keep prices firm even in softer markets.
Does it have French immersion?
Generally an English-stream catchment school. French Immersion in Port Moody is application-based and district-wide — see the SD43 Programs of Choice list.
Will the catchment change?
Heritage Mountain is largely built-out, so major boundary changes are less likely than in growth areas. Verify the current line for any address.
