The median home value here is around $575,700, which is pretty steep. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. What neighborhoods would you suggest? The food scene here is surprisingly good. The suburbs are where most families end up. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem improving.
I've been here 10 years and it was the best decision I ever made. The thing nobody mentions is pet-friendliness. It's competitive and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the housing market is legit. And if you're into running, this place is underrated.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Springfield side vs the Maple Ridge side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
