Why I chose Xenia over bigger cities

Curious what people think. The unemployment rate is 3.2%, which is pretty low. With a population of 25,555, Xenia is a smaller city. The weather takes some getting used to. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Is this normal for Xenia? Thanks!

I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is school system. it's not perfect but it works for me. Worth doing your research before committing.

Bought a house here in 2024 and I have mixed feelings honestly. Property values have gone about the same since then.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem challenging.

I've been here 2 years and I genuinely enjoy living here. The thing nobody mentions is walkability. It's reasonable and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the housing market is legit. And if you're into mountain biking, this place is better than expected.

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

Definitely worth checking out..

I've been living here for 1 years and I'd say it exceeded my expectations. The school system is better than expected compared to other places I've lived. Overall No regrets on my end..
