Planning a move to Grand Rapids — neighborhoods?

Curious what people think. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. What neighborhoods would you suggest?

I've lived in Maple Ridge for about 10 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

it's not perfect but it works for me. When I first moved here from Boston, I was surprised by job market. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Cost of living is very reasonable
- Good schools in most areas
- The nightlife scene is solid

The downsides:
- Winters are long and cold
- Road conditions need improvement

Overall I'd rate it 6/10 for remote workers. Give it a chance - it might surprise you..
