Working remotely from Mediapolis

Longtime lurker here, I've been here for 9 years and Crime rate is something to consider -Mediapolis sits at 165.2 per 100K. Poverty rate is 7.0%, which is pretty low. The suburbs are where most families end up. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Am I overthinking this?

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem pretty good.

I've been here 5 years and I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. The thing nobody mentions is nightlife. It's pricey and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the community vibe is legit. And if you're into mountain biking, this place is average.

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

Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..
