Hey, I'm a teacher here and With a population of 10,348, Fairmont is a small town. Rent is about $717/month for a decent place. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. The suburbs are where most families end up. Has anyone dealt with this? TIA!

I've lived in East for about 6 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
it was the best decision I ever made. When I first moved here from Baltimore, I was surprised by public transit. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Great outdoor activities nearby
- Strong job market in several industries
- The housing market scene is tough
The downsides:
- Dating scene is rough
- Far from beaches/mountains
Overall I'd rate it 7/10 for families. It's not for everyone but it works for us..

Public transit is excellent here. You'll probably need a car for most things. I have mixed feelings honestly.

I've lived in Maple Ridge for about 2 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I genuinely enjoy living here. When I first moved here from Houston, I was surprised by healthcare. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Great outdoor activities nearby
- Good schools in most areas
- The cost of living scene is better than expected
The downsides:
- Limited high-paying job options
- Homeless population growing downtown
Overall I'd rate it 6/10 for remote workers. Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..
