Affordable areas near Brentwood?

Hey, I'm retired and It's a a small town city with about 3,753 people. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Has anyone dealt with this? The food scene here is surprisingly good. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. The suburbs are where most families end up. The city has invested a lot in new development.

I've lived in Maple Ridge for about 13 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

the quality of life is solid. When I first moved here from Raleigh, I was surprised by food scene. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Growing food and restaurant scene
- Good schools in most areas
- The community vibe scene is underrated

The downsides:
- Summers can be brutally hot
- Road conditions need improvement

Overall I'd rate it 5/10 for singles. Feel free to reach out with questions..

Depends on what you're looking for honestly. If you want weather, then yeah this place is great. But if outdoor recreation matters to you, might want to look elsewhere.
