OK so With a population of 5,112, Terryville is a small town. You can expect to pay around $1,130 for rent here. It's a a small town city with about 5,112 people. Property taxes are high but you get good services. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Let me know your thoughts. The weather takes some getting used to. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. I'd say it's better for families than young singles.

If you're remote, this place is great for cost of living. it's improved dramatically in recent years. Internet is better than expected in most areas.

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

I've been living here for 7 years and I'd say I love the pace of life here. The healthcare is surprisingly good compared to other places I've lived. Overall Would recommend to anyone considering it..

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 7 years ago from Raleigh and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: The market is competitive but not impossible. We're paying /mo for a 2-bed in Sunset. It's decent for what you get.
Jobs: The market is wild right now, especially in government. If you're in marketing you might struggle.
People: Generally average. It took about 8 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: challenging. Tons of options if you like seafood.
Hope this helps!.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem better than expected.
I've been here 15 years and I have mixed feelings honestly. The thing nobody mentions is healthcare. It's competitive and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the nightlife is legit. And if you're into running, this place is underrated.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Maple Ridge side vs the Springfield side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
No regrets on my end..

Not gonna lie, the first year was rough. But once you find your neighborhood and your people, it's exactly what I was looking for. It's not for everyone but it works for us..
