With a population of 9,276, Blanchard is a small town. It's a a small town city with about 9,276 people. The unemployment rate is 4.8%, which is about average. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years.

Pros:

Cons:

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem challenging.

I've been here 2 years and there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. The thing nobody mentions is housing market. It's pricey and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the weather is legit. And if you're into camping, this place is excellent.

Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Sunset side vs the Riverside side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.

Would recommend to anyone considering it..

I've been here 5 years and it's been a really good experience overall. The thing nobody mentions is school system. It's stable and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the nightlife 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 Midtown side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.

Definitely worth checking out..

I work in legal here and it exceeded my expectations. The job market for my field is tough. It's not for everyone but it works for us..

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 15 years ago from Portland and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: Lots of new construction which should help. We're paying /mo for a 2-bed in Highland. It's tough for what you get.

Jobs: The market is wild right now, especially in consulting. If you're in marketing you might struggle.

People: Generally excellent. It took about 14 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: surprisingly good. Tons of options if you like sushi.

No regrets on my end..

Renting here right now, paying about /mo for a 3-bedroom. there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. Compared to New York it's decent.
