Movers in Heritage Woods who know the streets.

Heritage Woods sits high above the inlet, well up the mountain from the waterfront. The elevation is the first thing that defines a move here, with streets climbing over 200 metres from the shoreline to the upper lots. The neighbourhood is a master-planned executive subdivision of three to four level homes, built in the early to mid-2000s for families seeking views and space. Access comes up Heritage Mountain Boulevard from Ioco Road or along David Avenue from the east. We know the steep driveways, the split-level carries, and the permit rules for Port Moody. One flat rate, confirmed up front.

Elevation and multi-level carries

Every move in Heritage Woods starts with a serious climb. Elevation data puts the secondary school at roughly 204 metres, with upper streets reaching over 280 metres, while the inlet sits near 18 metres. The topography creates steep driveways and lots that drop away quickly. Homes often sit three or four levels high, and moving from the street to a front door can involve multiple flights of stairs and long interior turns. We scope the exact floor levels and the driveway grade when you book. The flat rate covers the labour to navigate these elevations and get every item safely to your door.

Housing stock and executive layouts

Heritage Woods is predominantly detached single-family homes built for executive family buyers. Parklane Homes built the August Views pocket, and typical homes run roughly 3,500 to 4,000 square feet over three or more levels. The layouts are grand, with granite and gourmet-kitchen era finishes, spacious decks, and walkout or finished basements that make use of the view slopes. Quiet cul-de-sacs and unobstructed city and Mt Baker views from the upper decks are part of the draw. Moving into one of these homes requires careful planning for wide furniture and multi-storey access. We treat every home with respect for its size and layout, and the rate reflects the full scope of the job.

David Avenue and Heritage Mountain access

Getting to Heritage Woods involves choosing a route, and both are climbs. Heritage Mountain Boulevard is the main ascent off Ioco Road, while David Avenue serves as the east-west spine through the neighbourhood and continues east into Coquitlam. Traffic patterns differ by route. The long-proposed western connector through Bert Flinn Park was cancelled in 2020 and the right-of-way is now parkland, so there is no shortcut. All traffic must use the two established climbs. School hours around Heritage Woods Secondary at 1300 David Avenue create a practical pinch point, with the turf and grass field complex drawing traffic to the same stretch. We time the arrival to avoid the school rush and stage the truck where access is clear.

Port Moody permits and street rules

Port Moody has clear rules for working on city streets. If a moving truck, storage container, or bin disrupts traffic, parking, sidewalks, or bike paths, a Highway Use Permit is required under the Street, Traffic and Public Places Bylaw No. 1528-C. Applications are online only at forms.portmoody.ca, since paper and PDF submissions are no longer accepted, and the request has to be in 10 working days before the start date. Insurance is $5 million liability with the City of Port Moody named as co-insured and 30-day cancellation notice.

The 2026 fees come from Fees Bylaw 2025, No. 3524, as amended by Bylaw 3543. On the Local Road Network the charge is $271.84 for the first week, which is also the minimum charge, then $135.92 per week after that. Major Road Network work is $447.74 per week. A residential bin or container sitting on City right-of-way is $106.00 per month. Port Moody Engineering answers permit questions at engineering@portmoody.ca or 604-469-4500, and the office is at 100 Newport Drive. We flag which rule applies to your address early and walk you through the application and the insurance paperwork so there are no delays on move day.

Down the hill at Rocky Point

Nothing on the public calendar runs up the hill itself. Port Moody's event schedule clusters at Rocky Point Park, 2800 Murray Street, about a ten-minute drive down from Heritage Woods. The Summer Sundays concert series runs from July 5 to August 30, 2026, and the same park hosts Golden Spike Days, the Canada Day celebration, and the Rotary RibFest across the summer. Closer to home, Bert Flinn Park has entrances off David Avenue, and the old connector right-of-way is now a walking and cycling trail. If your move date lands on a Rocky Point event weekend, we plan the run down and back around it.

Flat rate and local planning

Heritage Woods is not a simple flat street move. The elevation, the home size, and the permit requirements mean the move needs specific planning. We scope the address, check the driveway slope, review the housing layout, and confirm the permit status before we set the price. The rate is fixed and confirmed up front. It covers the drive from Ioco Road or David Avenue, the climb to your door, the multi-level carries, and the paperwork. Drive time is an input to the flat rate, never a meter. The price we confirm before you book is the price you pay. Call or text Nash Moving for your flat-rate quote.
