Healthcare options in Peru?

Hi all, I'm a remote worker and Crime rate is something to consider -Peru sits at 195.1 per 100K. Homes are going for about $155,600 on average. With a population of 9,863, Peru is a small town. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. The city has invested a lot in new development. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. The city has invested a lot in new development. Property taxes are high but you get good services. The city has invested a lot in new development. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. It's not perfect, but the community is solid.

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

I've been here 5 years and it's improved dramatically in recent years. The thing nobody mentions is nightlife. It's wild and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the cultural scene is legit. And if you're into mountain biking, this place is excellent.

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

Feel free to reach out with questions..

Not gonna lie, the first year was rough. But once you find your neighborhood and your people, it's been a really good experience overall. It's not for everyone but it works for us..

Bought a house here in 2017 and I genuinely enjoy living here. Property values have gone up a bit since then.
