Anyone else feel this way? You can expect to pay around $978 for rent here. Poverty rate is 23.8%, which is higher than I expected. The unemployment rate is 10.4%, which is concerning. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. What are your go-to spots? Looking forward to hearing from you all. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. The weather takes some getting used to. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable.

I've lived in Maple Ridge for about 9 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

it's exactly what I was looking for. When I first moved here from Phoenix, I was surprised by food scene. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:

- Friendly community, easy to meet people

- Close to major attractions

- The school system scene is underrated

The downsides:

- Property taxes are high

- Bugs and humidity in summer

Overall I'd rate it 8/10 for young professionals. Give it a chance - it might surprise you..
