Hey, I relocated for work and Average temperature is around 69--F, so the weather is moderate. Poverty rate is 9.3%, which is pretty low. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The food scene here is surprisingly good.

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

I've lived in Maple Ridge for about 6 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
it's been a really good experience overall. When I first moved here from Portland, I was surprised by housing market. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Decent public transit for the size
- Strong job market in several industries
- The safety scene is tough
The downsides:
- Limited shopping options
- Limited entertainment options
Overall I'd rate it 7/10 for young professionals. It's not for everyone but it works for us..

I'm a electrician and I've found I love the pace of life here. The community is decent and there's always something going on.
