Not sure if this has been asked before, but I'm a remote worker and It's a a smaller city city with about 73,507 people. The median home value here is around $191,700, which is actually reasonable. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Does this match your experience? Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much.

Depends on what you're looking for honestly. If you want cultural scene, then yeah this place is great. But if outdoor recreation matters to you, might want to look elsewhere.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem pretty good.
I've been here 4 years and it's been a really good experience overall. The thing nobody mentions is safety. It's wild and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the food scene is legit. And if you're into photography, this place is solid.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Maple Ridge side vs the Greenfield side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
Good luck with whatever you decide..

Came here for weather and stayed because it's not perfect but it works for me. The pet-friendliness is honestly excellent and I don't see that changing anytime soon.
