I've lived in Maple Ridge for about 4 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

it's not perfect but it works for me. When I first moved here from Nashville, I was surprised by weather. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:

- Good internet infrastructure

- Diverse dining options

- The walkability scene is pretty good

The downsides:

- Winters are long and cold

- Property taxes are high

Overall I'd rate it 8/10 for remote workers. Give it a chance - it might surprise you..
