Been living here since 2017. Crime rate is something to consider -Slidell sits at 270.1 per 100K. The city has invested a lot in new development. Am I overthinking this? Cheers.

Hot take but there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. I know a lot of people disagree but after 5 years here, that's my honest assessment.

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

We moved here with our family and it was the best decision I ever made. Schools in Riverside area are underrated. Kids love it here.

I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is nightlife. it exceeded my expectations. Worth doing your research before committing.

I've lived in Maple Ridge for about 15 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
it's been a really good experience overall. When I first moved here from San Francisco, I was surprised by housing market. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Nice parks and green spaces
- Active local events and festivals
- The public transit scene is pretty good
The downsides:
- Limited entertainment options
- Far from beaches/mountains
Overall I'd rate it 7/10 for families. Definitely worth checking out..
