Anyone else feel this way? Been living here since 2021. Median household income is $35,655, which feels on the lower side for the area. You can expect to pay around $566 for rent here. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Does this match your experience? Cheers. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting.

I've lived in Maple Ridge for about 14 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
it was the best decision I ever made. When I first moved here from Raleigh, I was surprised by housing market. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Lots of new development happening
- Four distinct seasons
- The cultural scene scene is underrated
The downsides:
- Urban sprawl is real
- Property taxes are high
Overall I'd rate it 9/10 for families. Give it a chance - it might surprise you..

I've lived in Springfield for about 2 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I'm still on the fence after all this time. When I first moved here from Seattle, I was surprised by housing market. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Friendly community, easy to meet people
- Decent public transit for the size
- The cultural scene scene is tough
The downsides:
- Urban sprawl is real
- Not a lot of cultural diversity
Overall I'd rate it 6/10 for couples. Feel free to reach out with questions..
