Peaceful Semi-Rural Village Surrounded by Nature
Anmore is a picturesque village municipality in Metro Vancouver, located north of Port Moody and along the shores of Indian Arm. Incorporated in 1987, this small-community charm comes with a strong outdoor focus, large lot homes, and a calm lifestyle.
With a land area of about 27.5 km² and a population of ~2,356 as of the 2021 Census, Anmore maintains a low density (~ 85.6 people/km²). The median household income is notably high, reflecting the affluent character of many homes here.
Parks, Trails & Outdoors
Anmore is rich in natural amenities that make outdoor recreation a major part of life here.
- Buntzen Lake Recreation Area: Often considered the crown jewel, this BC Hydro–maintained spot offers scenic hiking and biking trails, beaches, picnic areas, and opportunities for kayaking and swimming.
- Spirit Park (Dr. Hal Weinberg Spirit Park): Trails, open space, and connections to the broader trail network, ideal for easy walks and nature views.
- Michael Rosen Trail: A more accessible trail, connecting to Port Moody’s Bert Flynn Park, with picnic areas and nature views. Village of Anmore
Anmore emphasizes preserving green space: its trails, parks, and public spaces are maintained carefully, often with volunteer support. There is a “Greenway Strategy” aiming to connect natural areas, trail systems, and public spaces.

- During summer, extra service (bus 179) goes from Coquitlam Central Station to Buntzen Lake.
