Alright, My family moved here when I was a kid. Crime rate is something to consider -Graham sits at 112.8 per 100K. Poverty rate is 5.0%, which is pretty low. Average temperature is around 51--F, so expect cold winters. The median home value here is around $472,800, which is pretty steep. The food scene here is surprisingly good. Anyone in a similar situation? Thanks in advance! The weather takes some getting used to. The weather takes some getting used to. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. The weather takes some getting used to.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 15 years ago from LA and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: Buying is tough right now, renting is more reasonable. We're paying /mo for a 4-bed in Maple Ridge. It's better than expected for what you get.
Jobs: The market is growing right now, especially in engineering. If you're in construction you might struggle.
People: Generally excellent. It took about 12 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: surprisingly good. Tons of options if you like farm-to-table.
Would recommend to anyone considering it..

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 1 years ago from Chicago and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: Older homes are where the value is. We're paying /mo for a 2-bed in Greenfield. It's average for what you get.
Jobs: The market is developing right now, especially in finance. If you're in retail you might struggle.
People: Generally hit or miss. It took about 17 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: excellent. Tons of options if you like Thai.
Happy to answer more specific questions..

We moved here with our family and there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. Schools in West area are excellent. Kids love it here.
