Hey folks, The median home value here is around $1,092,700, which is pretty steep. You can expect to pay around $2,523 for rent here. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. The weather takes some getting used to. The suburbs are where most families end up. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look.

Public transit is pretty good here. You'll probably need a car for most things. I love the pace of life here.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 8 years ago from Dallas and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: Buying is tough right now, renting is more reasonable. We're paying /mo for a 2-bed in Maple Ridge. It's better than expected for what you get.
Jobs: The market is stable right now, especially in finance. If you're in tech you might struggle.
People: Generally tough. It took about 13 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: tough. Tons of options if you like Southern.
