I've been living here for 2 years and I'd say it exceeded my expectations. The healthcare is hit or miss compared to other places I've lived. Overall Give it a chance - it might surprise you..

I've been living here for 15 years and I'd say it's been a really good experience overall. The public transit is tough compared to other places I've lived. Overall Good luck with whatever you decide..

I've lived in Maple Ridge for about 14 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 Seattle, I was surprised by weather. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Friendly community, easy to meet people
- Nice parks and green spaces
- The outdoor recreation scene is better than expected
The downsides:
- Summers can be brutally hot
- Far from beaches/mountains
Overall I'd rate it 7/10 for young professionals. Happy to answer more specific questions..

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.
If you value outdoor recreation, you'll love it. The pet-friendliness is genuinely decent and I've found I'm still on the fence after all this time. My neighborhood (East) is competitive and I feel safe walking around at night.
But if you're coming from Miami, be prepared for the culture shock. pet-friendliness is completely different here. And Limited high-paying job options.
My advice would be to visit for at least a week before committing. Rent first, don't buy. And explore multiple neighborhoods - they're all different.

I'm a data analyst and I've found there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. The community is hit or miss and there's always something going on.

If you're remote, this place is great for cost of living. it's exactly what I was looking for. Internet is average in most areas.
