Used to live on the Cedar Grove side, now on the Westside side. Completely different vibe. I have mixed feelings honestly.

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

I've been here 2 years and I have mixed feelings honestly. The thing nobody mentions is traffic. It's developing and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the public transit is legit. And if you're into running, this place is average.

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

Happy to answer more specific questions..
