I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is dating scene. it exceeded my expectations. Worth doing your research before committing.

I've lived in Fairview for about 14 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

I have mixed feelings honestly. When I first moved here from Minneapolis, I was surprised by healthcare. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Growing food and restaurant scene
- Lots of new development happening
- The public transit scene is solid

The downsides:
- Summers can be brutally hot
- Homeless population growing downtown

Overall I'd rate it 6/10 for couples. Feel free to reach out with questions..

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 12 years ago from Miami and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: Lots of new construction which should help. We're paying /mo for a 4-bed in Maple Ridge. It's underrated for what you get.

Jobs: The market is growing right now, especially in engineering. If you're in construction you might struggle.

People: Generally decent. It took about 18 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: underrated. Tons of options if you like Mexican.

No regrets on my end..

Weather-wise, the summers are solid and winters are manageable. You get used to it after the first year.

We moved here with our family and I have mixed feelings honestly. Schools in Greenfield area are excellent. Kids love it here.
