Are you’re thinking of moving to Port Moody but you’re not sure which area or neighbourhood is right for you? Well, in this video I’m going to reveal the top 5 neighbourhoods in Port Moody.
Nestled at the East end of Burrard inlet, Port Moody is the smallest of the Tri-Cities, bordered by Coquitlam on the east and south, and Burnaby on the west. It features some impressive destinations such as Sasamat Lake, Belcarra Regional Park, Buntzen Lake, Rocky Point Park, , and Barnet Marine Park.
This small town received little attention until it was declared the terminus of the Canadian Pacific Railway in 1879. After the last spike was driven at Craigellachie on Nov. 7th 1885, the 1st scheduled passenger transcontinental train arrived on July 4, 1886, a date which is still celebrated during Golden Spike Days here in Port Moody, except for this year. Golden Spike days has been cancelled due to the pandemic.
Over the next 2 years real estate prices soared but soon fell flat when a 12 mile branch line was built westward along the inlet to Vancouver in 1887. Ah, real estate in BC, it’s never a dull moment.
