I've lived in Old Town for about 6 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. When I first moved here from Austin, I was surprised by pet-friendliness. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Friendly community, easy to meet people
- Growing food and restaurant scene
- The job market scene is improving

The downsides:
- Chain restaurants dominate
- Can feel isolated

Overall I'd rate it 8/10 for couples. It's not for everyone but it works for us..

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem hit or miss.

I've been here 7 years and I love the pace of life here. The thing nobody mentions is walkability. It's pricey and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the dating scene is legit. And if you're into biking, this place is average.

Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Maple Ridge side vs the Springfield side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.

Happy to answer more specific questions..
