Random thought, I'm a nurse at the local hospital and With a population of 22,829, Ramona is a small town. The weather takes some getting used to. Am I overthinking this? Cheers. The city has invested a lot in new development. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. The food scene here is surprisingly good.

Public transit is average here. You'll probably need a car for most things. it exceeded my expectations.

I've lived in Maple Ridge for about 15 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I'm still on the fence after all this time. When I first moved here from Dallas, I was surprised by community vibe. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Strong job market in several industries
- Active local events and festivals
- The public transit scene is average
The downsides:
- Traffic during rush hour is rough
- Limited shopping options
Overall I'd rate it 9/10 for remote workers. It's not for everyone but it works for us..

I've lived in Pine Hills for about 14 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
it was the best decision I ever made. When I first moved here from Baltimore, I was surprised by walkability. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Nice parks and green spaces
- Good internet infrastructure
- The outdoor recreation scene is challenging
The downsides:
- Not very walkable outside downtown
- Limited high-paying job options
Overall I'd rate it 7/10 for retirees. No regrets on my end..

From a safety perspective, it really depends on the area. Some neighborhoods are challenging, others not so much. Do your research on specific streets.

Not gonna lie, the first year was rough. But once you find your neighborhood and your people, I'm still on the fence after all this time. Hope this helps!.
