Hi all, People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. The city has invested a lot in new development.

Moved here from Dallas about 8 years ago. I love the pace of life here. Still getting used to school system but Definitely worth checking out..

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.
If you value housing market, you'll love it. The job market is genuinely challenging and I've found it's not perfect but it works for me. My neighborhood (Westside) is reasonable and I feel safe walking around at night.
But if you're coming from Chicago, be prepared for the culture shock. public transit is completely different here. And Summers can be brutally hot.
My advice would be to visit for at least a week before committing. Rent first, don't buy. And explore multiple neighborhoods - they're all different.

I've lived in Maple Ridge for about 2 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I love the pace of life here. When I first moved here from Raleigh, I was surprised by dating scene. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Good internet infrastructure
- Close to major attractions
- The weather scene is decent
The downsides:
- Property taxes are high
- Chain restaurants dominate
Overall I'd rate it 5/10 for retirees. Definitely worth checking out..
