Public transit is tough here. You'll probably need a car for most things. it's exactly what I was looking for.

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

I've been here 3 years and it exceeded my expectations. The thing nobody mentions is traffic. It's manageable 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 South side vs the Maple Ridge side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.

Feel free to reach out with questions..
