You can expect to pay around $2,189 for rent here. Average temperature is around 71--F, so it's warm year-round. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Does this match your experience? TIA! Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly.

Bought a house here in 2016 and I love the pace of life here. Property values have gone about the same since then.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem tough.
I've been here 12 years and I genuinely enjoy living here. The thing nobody mentions is food scene. It's reasonable and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the outdoor recreation is legit. And if you're into golfing, this place is hit or miss.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Maple Ridge side vs the Greenfield side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
Give it a chance - it might surprise you..

I've lived in Midtown for about 6 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I have mixed feelings honestly. When I first moved here from Chicago, I was surprised by school system. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Good schools in most areas
- Affordable housing options
- The food scene scene is challenging
The downsides:
- Chain restaurants dominate
- Homeless population growing downtown
Overall I'd rate it 7/10 for remote workers. Happy to answer more specific questions..
