First time home buyer in Pinewood

Hey, We have two kids and Household incomes average around $47,551 in Pinewood. Rent is about $1,460/month for a decent place. It's a a small town city with about 17,427 people. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. The suburbs are where most families end up. What neighborhoods would you suggest? Cheers. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. The weather takes some getting used to. The city has invested a lot in new development. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly.

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

I've been here 12 years and it's exactly what I was looking for. The thing nobody mentions is community vibe. It's manageable and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the weather is legit. And if you're into mountain biking, this place is tough.

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

Would recommend to anyone considering it..

I've been living here for 5 years and I'd say I genuinely enjoy living here. The pet-friendliness is pretty good compared to other places I've lived. Overall No regrets on my end..
