Maple Ridge sits where urban convenience meets outdoor adventure, creating a community that’s managed to grow by over 10% since 2016 while keeping its connection to nature intact. The Fraser River winds along its southern border, offering some of the province’s most reliable salmon fishing, while Golden Ears Provincial Park provides hiking trails that range from family-friendly walks to challenging backcountry routes.
The housing market here tells an interesting story. With over half the homes being single-detached houses and a median household income of $105,000, families have found their sweet spot between Metro Vancouver’s job opportunities and a lifestyle that doesn’t require sacrificing outdoor space for proximity to work. The 33-minute average commute reflects this trade-off, though nearly a quarter of residents manage to keep their daily travel under 15 minutes.
Construction leads the local employment scene at 12.6%, followed closely by retail and healthcare. This economic diversity, combined with the community’s appeal to both young families and retirees, creates housing demand that tends to hold steady even when broader markets fluctuate. The climate has actually improved by a full hardiness zone since the 1960s, extending the growing season and making the area even more attractive for those who want to garden year-round.
What makes Maple Ridge particularly compelling is its position as Metro Vancouver’s outdoor gateway. Alouette Lake draws boaters and swimmers, while Kanaka Creek Regional Park offers urban dwellers a quick escape into old-growth forest. The community has managed growth without losing its small-town feel, evident in the local farmers markets and the annual Country Festival that’s been running for decades.
