I'm originally from Nashville and Homes are going for about $342,400 on average. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable.

My experience has been mostly positive. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. The only thing I'd watch out for is job market. Other than that, Hope this helps!.

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

I've lived in Maple Ridge for about 12 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
it's improved dramatically in recent years. When I first moved here from Dallas, I was surprised by pet-friendliness. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Growing food and restaurant scene
- Good schools in most areas
- The healthcare scene is improving
The downsides:
- Summers can be brutally hot
- Bugs and humidity in summer
Overall I'd rate it 6/10 for retirees. No regrets on my end..

I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is school system. I have mixed feelings honestly. Worth doing your research before committing.

Hot take but it's not perfect but it works for me. I know a lot of people disagree but after 10 years here, that's my honest assessment.

My experience has been mostly positive. I'm still on the fence after all this time. The only thing I'd watch out for is outdoor recreation. Other than that, Good luck with whatever you decide..

Came here for cost of living and stayed because I love the pace of life here. The pet-friendliness is honestly decent and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

The food scene here is pretty good. Tons of great BBQ places. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now.

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