Can anyone tell me about the suburbs of Maple Ridge, Langley, and the newer parts of Surrey? What are the good neighborhoods and what are the ghettos??
Me and the wife are entertaining a possible move there and we would be looking to buy a townhouse with a max budget of around $375,000. I personally love that these areas don't seem to be as populated as Vancouver proper...but I'm worried about the ongoing gang violence and just crime in general in Surrey/Langley and I know NOTHING about Maple Ridge other than it looks quite quaint on the map....I also don't want to end up moving into a neighbourhood full of crackheads and trailer trash.
Here's an example of ones we're interested in...

We want at least 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and a little private backyard, garage preferred but not essential as it never snows there but would be nice to escape the rain! And at least 1000 sq ft.
