Rent in Linden getting crazy

Longtime lurker here, Military spouse here. Household incomes average around $91,036 in Linden. You can expect to pay around $1,677 for rent here. Rent is about $1,677/month for a decent place. Homes are going for about $387,200 on average. The weather takes some getting used to. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Am I overthinking this? It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. The suburbs are where most families end up. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem better than expected.

I've been here 14 years and the quality of life is solid. The thing nobody mentions is walkability. It's developing and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the dating scene is legit. And if you're into surfing, this place is excellent.

Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Fairview side vs the Maple Ridge side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.

Good luck with whatever you decide..
