So, I've been here for 1 years and Rent is about $1,347/month for a decent place. The median home value here is around $435,400, which is pretty steep. The suburbs are where most families end up. The weather takes some getting used to. Has anyone dealt with this? Property taxes are high but you get good services.

Public transit is hit or miss here. You'll probably need a car for most things. the quality of life is solid.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem underrated.
I've been here 1 years and I genuinely enjoy living here. The thing nobody mentions is traffic. It's reasonable and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the safety is legit. And if you're into biking, this place is underrated.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Eastside side vs the South side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
Definitely worth checking out..

I've been here 13 years and it's improved dramatically in recent years. The thing nobody mentions is traffic. It's pricey and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the dating scene is legit. And if you're into biking, this place is average.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Maple Ridge side vs the Midtown side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
No regrets on my end..

If you're remote, this place is great for cost of living. there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. Internet is improving in most areas.

Weather-wise, the summers are surprisingly good and winters are reasonable. You get used to it after the first year.
