Hey, I'm a teacher here and Household incomes average around $90,670 in Richmond Heights. You can expect to pay around $1,447 for rent here. Rent is about $1,447/month for a decent place. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. The city has invested a lot in new development. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Thanks for reading. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem decent.
I've been here 14 years and it's not perfect but it works for me. The thing nobody mentions is healthcare. It's established and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the traffic is legit. And if you're into golfing, this place is excellent.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The North side vs the Maple Ridge side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..

Hot take but I have mixed feelings honestly. I know a lot of people disagree but after 15 years here, that's my honest assessment.

If you're remote, this place is great for cost of living. I have mixed feelings honestly. Internet is hit or miss in most areas.
