Bought a house here in 2020 and I'm still on the fence after all this time. Property values have gone about the same since then.

Moved here from Minneapolis about 6 years ago. I'm still on the fence after all this time. Still getting used to community vibe but Hope this helps!.

From a safety perspective, it really depends on the area. Some neighborhoods are solid, others not so much. Do your research on specific streets.

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.
If you value cost of living, you'll love it. The safety is genuinely surprisingly good and I've found it's exactly what I was looking for. My neighborhood (Uptown) is established and I feel safe walking around at night.
But if you're coming from Tampa, be prepared for the culture shock. housing market is completely different here. And Dating scene is rough.
My advice would be to visit for at least a week before committing. Rent first, don't buy. And explore multiple neighborhoods - they're all different.

I'm a marketing manager and I've found I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. The community is improving and there's always something going on.

If you value weather, you'll love it. The public transit is genuinely underrated and I've found it's improved dramatically in recent years. My neighborhood (Old Town) is pricey and I feel safe walking around at night.
But if you're coming from Raleigh, be prepared for the culture shock. nightlife is completely different here. And Limited public transit options.

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

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem underrated.
I've been here 1 years and it exceeded my expectations. The thing nobody mentions is healthcare. It's competitive and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the job market is legit. And if you're into biking, this place is average.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Lakewood side vs the Maple Ridge side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
Hope this helps!.

My experience has been mostly positive. the quality of life is solid. The only thing I'd watch out for is dating scene. Other than that, Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..

I've been living here for 13 years and I'd say I have mixed feelings honestly. The healthcare is hit or miss compared to other places I've lived. Overall Good luck with whatever you decide..
