Maple Ridge

At the region's northeast edge, Maple Ridge offers an outdoor lifestyle and larger properties beneath the Golden Ears peaks.

A revitalised downtown core anchors the community, while newer neighbourhoods such as Silver Valley and Albion climb toward the forest and trailheads of Golden Ears Provincial Park.

The Fraser and Alouette Rivers, Alouette Lake and an extensive trail network make this one of the best places in the region for hiking, paddling and horseback riding.

For buyers, Maple Ridge frequently means detached homes on larger lots at prices well below the region's core, appealing to families and anyone wanting space and nature close at hand.
