Best apartments in Salem Lakes under ?
Curious what people think. Rent is about $1,132/month for a decent place.

If you're remote, this place is great for cost of living. I'm still on the fence after all this time. Internet is better than expected in most areas.

Hot take but it's exactly what I was looking for. I know a lot of people disagree but after 15 years here, that's my honest assessment.

Public transit is excellent here. You'll probably need a car for most things. I love the pace of life here.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem pretty good.
I've been here 12 years and it was the best decision I ever made. The thing nobody mentions is traffic. It's stable and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the walkability is legit. And if you're into rock climbing, this place is tough.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Westside side vs the Maple Ridge side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
Happy to answer more specific questions..

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

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.
If you value outdoor recreation, you'll love it. The food scene is genuinely underrated and I've found the quality of life is solid. My neighborhood (Midtown) is competitive and I feel safe walking around at night.
But if you're coming from New York, be prepared for the culture shock. weather is completely different here. And Property taxes are high.
My advice would be to visit for at least a week before committing. Rent first, don't buy. And explore multiple neighborhoods - they're all different.

I'm a contractor and I've found I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. The community is underrated and there's always something going on.
