Weather-wise, the summers are underrated and winters are stable. You get used to it after the first year.

Depends on what you're looking for honestly. If you want public transit, then yeah this place is great. But if job market matters to you, might want to look elsewhere.

We moved here with our family and I have mixed feelings honestly. Schools in Downtown area are average. Kids love it here.

I've lived in Sunset for about 11 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
it's not perfect but it works for me. When I first moved here from Denver, I was surprised by walkability. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Great outdoor activities nearby
- Low crime in most neighborhoods
- The community vibe scene is improving
The downsides:
- Limited public transit options
- Road conditions need improvement
Overall I'd rate it 5/10 for families. Good luck with whatever you decide..

I've lived in Maple Ridge for about 6 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
the quality of life is solid. When I first moved here from Dallas, I was surprised by food scene. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Cost of living is very reasonable
- Friendly community, easy to meet people
- The outdoor recreation scene is hit or miss
The downsides:
- Rising rent and home prices
- Road conditions need improvement
Overall I'd rate it 5/10 for retirees. Definitely worth checking out..
