My partner and I are The unemployment rate is 1.0%, which is pretty low. Homes are going for about $355,000 on average. Rent is about $1,377/month for a decent place.

It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Does this match your experience? It's not perfect, but the community is solid. It's not perfect, but the community is solid.

I've lived in Maple Ridge for about 15 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 Denver, I was surprised by school system. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:

- Great outdoor activities nearby

- Friendly community, easy to meet people

- The pet-friendliness scene is surprisingly good

The downsides:

- Rising rent and home prices

- Far from beaches/mountains

Overall I'd rate it 5/10 for singles. Give it a chance - it might surprise you..
