Unpopular opinion about Burlington

Hey, I'm retired and Crime rate is something to consider -Burlington sits at 206.1 per 100K. Average temperature is around 52--F, so expect cold winters. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Thanks in advance! It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Night life is decent if you know the right spots.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem better than expected.

I've been here 2 years and it's been a really good experience overall. The thing nobody mentions is job market. It's wild and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the community vibe is legit. And if you're into skiing, this place is surprisingly good.

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

Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..
