Ruskin, Maple Ridge, British Columbia Real Estate and Homes for Sale
The sizeable proportion of single detached homes in the housing stock of Ruskin is an important part of its character. Roughly one third of properties in this neighbourhood were built between 1960 and 1980, while most of the remaining buildings were constructed pre-1960 and in the 1980s. This area offers mainly three bedroom and four or more bedroom homes. Roughly 90% of the dwellings in the neighbourhood are occupied by homeowners and 10% are rented.

Transportation
Driving is an excellent transportation option in this part of the city. Finding a place to park is generally easy. On the other hand, the public transit system in Ruskin is quite bad. Thankfully, house owners benefit from a few bus lines, and it is easy to reach a nearby bus stop from most homes. The bicycle is a fairly poor means of transportation in this part of Maple Ridge because there is a considerable amount of slopes, and there are very few bike lanes. It is also very impractical for pedestrians to get around in Ruskin because almost no common errands can be run without needing to resort to a vehicle.
Services
This part of the city does not have any high schools or primary schools. Furthermore, it can be very difficult to reach daycares as a pedestrian. In terms of eating, in all cases, a vehicle is needed in this neighbourhood to access the nearest supermarket.
Character
People who prefer a slower-paced environment will enjoy Ruskin. It is easy to reach parks from the majority of locations within the neighbourhood and there are a few of them nearby for residents to explore. This area is also reasonably quiet, as there isn't a lot of street noise or city clamour - although that is not the case around the railway line.
