Hey folks, Median household income is $107,250, which feels pretty solid for the area. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much.

Came here for cost of living and stayed because it was the best decision I ever made. The job market is honestly solid and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

I've lived in Maple Ridge for about 8 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
it's improved dramatically in recent years. When I first moved here from San Francisco, I was surprised by dating scene. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Low crime in most neighborhoods
- Nice parks and green spaces
- The cultural scene scene is hit or miss
The downsides:
- Chain restaurants dominate
- Bugs and humidity in summer
Overall I'd rate it 5/10 for singles. No regrets on my end..

I work in real estate here and I have mixed feelings honestly. The job market for my field is tough. Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 3 years ago from Baltimore and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: Buying is tough right now, renting is more reasonable. We're paying /mo for a 3-bed in Uptown. It's average for what you get.
Jobs: The market is stable right now, especially in tech. If you're in marketing you might struggle.
People: Generally improving. It took about 18 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: decent. Tons of options if you like BBQ.
Would recommend to anyone considering it..
