So, Just moved here 8 months ago and With a population of 12,828, Santa Fe is a small town. Household incomes average around $95,815 in Santa Fe. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods.

Depends on what you're looking for honestly. If you want outdoor recreation, then yeah this place is great. But if dating scene matters to you, might want to look elsewhere.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem underrated.
I've been here 11 years and I genuinely enjoy living here. The thing nobody mentions is housing market. It's wild and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the weather is legit. And if you're into golfing, this place is excellent.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Downtown side vs the Maple Ridge side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
No regrets on my end..

I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is weather. it was the best decision I ever made. Worth doing your research before committing.

Came here for weather and stayed because there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. The weather is honestly surprisingly good and I don't see that changing anytime soon.
