Hey, Median household income is $65,031, which feels about average for the area. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. The weather takes some getting used to.

I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is safety. the quality of life is solid. Worth doing your research before committing.

I've lived in Maple Ridge for about 1 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
it's improved dramatically in recent years. When I first moved here from Atlanta, I was surprised by traffic. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Great outdoor activities nearby
- Low crime in most neighborhoods
- The safety scene is pretty good
The downsides:
- Limited public transit options
- Rising rent and home prices
Overall I'd rate it 6/10 for remote workers. Would recommend to anyone considering it..
