Couple moving to Norwood from out of state

Hey everyone, My family moved here when I was a kid. The unemployment rate is 2.5%, which is pretty low. Median household income is $97,110, which feels pretty solid for the area. Property taxes are high but you get good services. The city has invested a lot in new development. Night life is decent if you know the right spots.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem underrated.

I've been here 6 years and it exceeded my expectations. The thing nobody mentions is pet-friendliness. It's wild and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the healthcare is legit. And if you're into fishing, this place is improving.

Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Fairview 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..

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.

I'm a sales manager who relocated here from Seattle about 6 years ago. The main reasons were a job opportunity and a job opportunity.

Pros I've experienced:
- Lots of new development happening
- Affordable housing options
- Strong sense of community

Cons that are real:
- Limited high-paying job options
- Can feel isolated

Financially, we've found it underrated compared to where we came from. If you look outside the main areas you can find deals. Groceries are wild, gas is challenging.

Socially, the quality of life is solid. Hope this helps!.
