Curious what people think. Median household income is $71,047, which feels about average for the area. Property taxes are high but you get good services.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a accountant who relocated here from Minneapolis about 3 years ago. The main reasons were work and a job opportunity.
Pros I've experienced:
- Great outdoor activities nearby
- Good airport with direct flights
- Strong sense of community
Cons that are real:
- Nightlife is limited
- Limited high-paying job options
Financially, we've found it improving compared to where we came from. Buying is tough right now, renting is more reasonable. Groceries are stable, gas is surprisingly good.
Socially, it's exactly what I was looking for. Would recommend to anyone considering it..

Used to live on the Sunset side, now on the Maple Ridge side. Completely different vibe. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now.

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