Rent in Plymouth getting crazy

Hey, I'm a remote worker and Median household income is $133,865, which feels pretty solid for the area. Crime rate is something to consider -Plymouth sits at 45.9 per 100K. Rent is about $1,705/month for a decent place. The city has invested a lot in new development. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus.

Pros:
- Close to nature
- Strong sense of community
- Walkable downtown

Cons:
- Hot summers
- Limited nightlife
- Not very walkable
- Limited dining options
- Boring for young people
Any help is appreciated. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. The suburbs are where most families end up.

It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. I'd say it's better for families than young singles.

Depends on what you're looking for honestly. If you want weather, then yeah this place is great. But if job market matters to you, might want to look elsewhere.

I've lived in Maple Ridge for about 4 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. When I first moved here from Miami, I was surprised by job market. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Four distinct seasons
- Close to major attractions
- The food scene scene is surprisingly good

The downsides:
- Urban sprawl is real
- Can feel isolated

Overall I'd rate it 7/10 for remote workers. Good luck with whatever you decide..

Bought a house here in 2016 and it's improved dramatically in recent years. Property values have gone down slightly since then.
