Been meaning to ask this. Poverty rate is 2.8%, which is pretty low. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. What would you do? The city has invested a lot in new development. The weather takes some getting used to. The weather takes some getting used to. The weather takes some getting used to. It's not perfect, but the community is solid.

Public transit is better than expected here. You'll probably need a car for most things. I'm still on the fence after all this time.

If you're remote, this place is great for cost of living. I genuinely enjoy living here. Internet is underrated in most areas.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem pretty good.
I've been here 8 years and I love the pace of life here. The thing nobody mentions is dating scene. It's manageable and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the pet-friendliness is legit. And if you're into camping, this place is excellent.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Fairview side vs the Maple Ridge side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
Definitely worth checking out..

Came here for a job opportunity and stayed because it's not perfect but it works for me. The job market is honestly tough and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

My experience has been mostly positive. the quality of life is solid. The only thing I'd watch out for is nightlife. Other than that, It's not for everyone but it works for us..

We moved here with our family and it's been a really good experience overall. Schools in East area are tough. Kids love it here.
