Is Brooklyn worth moving to in 2026?

My family moved here when I was a kid. The median home value here is around $117,800, which is actually reasonable. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Should I be concerned? TIA! Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look.

I've lived in Maple Ridge for about 2 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. When I first moved here from Salt Lake City, I was surprised by public transit. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:

- Cost of living is very reasonable

- Good schools in most areas

- The traffic scene is underrated

The downsides:

- Summers can be brutally hot

- Road conditions need improvement

Overall I'd rate it 6/10 for young professionals. Give it a chance - it might surprise you..

I'm a sales manager and I've found it was the best decision I ever made. The community is excellent and there's always something going on.
