Our buyers toured ten units in a single day. They fell in love with this one — a ground-floor corner unit with a fenced yard at Boardwalk, perfect for two dogs and a fresh start on the mainland. We closed at $580,000, one of the lowest sales the complex has seen in the last year and in the four years prior.
Our clients made the call that a lot of island buyers think about and fewer actually follow through on: sold their place, gave themselves a two-month window, and committed to finding a home in Port Moody. No backup plan, no extended timeline. Just a list of ten units they wanted to walk in a single day and a clear sense of what they needed — ground floor, outdoor space, and somewhere that worked for their two dogs.
They’d done their homework before we ever met. The ten-unit shortlist was already built; Jordan Macnab walked all of them with them in one long day. Nine were fine. This one was different. A corner unit on the ground floor of Boardwalk in Klahanie, with a partially covered fenced yard that’s among the largest private outdoor spaces in the building — and access to the Canoe Club amenities that most condo buyers in the Tri-Cities only get on paper. We wrote. We negotiated. We ground out a number at $580,000 — one of the lowest closes this complex has recorded in the past four years. Subjects came off the same week, with Jordan running the inspection while the buyers worked through the strata documents in parallel. They are not a couple who sits still for long. The housewarming is already being planned.
What makes this particular unit worth writing about is the configuration. Ground-floor corner units in a building like Boardwalk are genuinely rare — you get two exterior walls instead of one, which translates to more windows, more light, and in this case, direct access to that fenced yard without passing through any common area. The floor plan is efficient: a 12’5 × 12’2 living room that opens into a dining nook, a kitchen that runs 12’4 × 8’2 with direct sightlines back through the unit, a primary bedroom at 10’1 × 10’10, and a 5-piece ensuite — unusual spec for a 1-bedroom in this era and price range.
The building itself was constructed in 2006 — wood frame on a concrete perimeter foundation, brick and mixed exterior — and has been carefully managed. Strata fees of $397.90 per month cover hot water, management, the recreation facility, and snow removal. The unit comes with one underground parking stall (stall #159) and in-suite laundry. There’s also an electric fireplace in the living room, which is a small luxury that earns its keep on a cold Klahanie evening.
In a market where most condo buyers in Port Moody are looking at a Juliet balcony or a small deck two storeys up, this unit has something genuinely different: a fenced yard. Partially covered, extra-large by any measure for this building, and at ground level — meaning you step out the door and you’re in it, no elevator, no stairs, no common patio shared with four neighbours. For two dogs arriving from the island, this wasn’t a nice-to-have. It was the deciding factor.
A fenced yard at ground level — in a concrete and steel market where most buyers are negotiating over whose Juliet balcony gets more afternoon light, this is a different category of outdoor space entirely.
Whether you’re coming from the island, the Interior, or across the bridge from Vancouver, landing in the Tri-Cities on a timeline takes a buyer’s agent who can move fast and knows the inventory cold. Jordan Macnab will have your shortlist ready before you arrive.
Talk to Jordan MacnabBoardwalk residents get access to the Canoe Club — Klahanie’s private amenity centre, and the reason a lot of people specifically target this neighbourhood when they start shopping Port Moody condos. The outdoor pool, hot tub, tennis courts, gym, and party lounge are the headline items, but the day-to-day reality is the pool in the summer and the gym year-round. A clubhouse, bike room, elevator, and playground round out the building’s own amenities. It’s a meaningful package for $397.90 a month.
The listing had been sitting for 65 days when we wrote. It had come to market at $629,000 in early March, been reduced to $598,000, then to $588,888. There was room. Our clients had two months before they needed to be out of their island home — which is enough runway to be patient, but not enough to wait for the perfect scenario. We moved on this one with conviction because the fit was too specific to gamble on: the ground floor, the yard, the dogs, the Canoe Club access, the price. We landed at $580,000. That’s $49,000 below the original ask, $8,888 under the final list, and by the comps Jordan pulled, one of the lowest closes this complex had seen going back four years.
Once we had a deal, Jordan took the inspection while the buyers worked through the strata documents at the same time. The building’s financials, the bylaws, the minutes — our clients are thorough. Everything checked out. Subjects came off clean. That’s the process working exactly as it should: efficient, parallel, no surprises.
Klahanie, Inlet Centre, Newport Village, Suter Brook — Port Moody’s condo market moves fast and the gaps between list price and what a unit is actually worth can be significant. Jordan Macnab tracks every close and will tell you exactly what to offer and when.
Get in TouchKlahanie is the eastern edge of Port Moody — a planned community built in the 1990s and early 2000s that blends condo buildings, townhomes, and a handful of detached streets into a surprisingly cohesive neighbourhood. The Canoe Club is what sets it apart from comparable developments in Coquitlam or Port Coquitlam: private amenities that residents actually use, maintained through the strata, available year-round. It has a grocery store and essentials within the neighbourhood itself, which makes day-to-day life genuinely convenient. Rocky Point Park, Brewery Row, and the broader Moody Centre waterfront are a short drive west; the Buntzen Lake and Sasamat Lake trailheads are reachable in the other direction in under fifteen minutes.
The Macnabs have placed multiple buyers into Klahanie and the surrounding Port Moody pockets over the past year. If you’re targeting this neighbourhood — for the yard access, the Canoe Club, the price point, or just the feel of the place — Jordan Macnab is tracking every active and off-market opportunity in it right now.
This is the kind of deal that looks obvious in retrospect — 65 days on market, a motivated estate sale, a very specific unit type that’s hard to find. Knowing which properties to target and when to move is what Jordan Macnab does. If you want Port Moody’s top real estate agent working the market for you, let’s start the conversation.
