Flood and airport noise9
About 23% of Maple Ridge's land area lies inside the City's regulatory flood map (floodway 9%, flood fringe 14%). The floodway is where river water moves fastest and building is most restricted; the flood fringe floods more shallowly, and building there needs flood-proofing; overland flow areas are low ground that can flood when the river overtops its banks. Flood barriers and upstream storage built since 2013 reduce the risk, but the land is still mapped, so ask your insurer about overland flood coverage and check the address on the City's river flood map before you buy.
Maple Ridge is outside the airport's noise forecast contours (NEF 25 and above).

The school nearest the house may not be the school your child is assigned to. Boards assign a designated school by street address, and a community can be split across several, or have none inside its boundary. The boards don’t publish these attendance areas as open data, only an address lookup: use the CBE Find a School tool (including French Immersion and IB) or contact the Calgary Catholic School District with the exact address before you rent or buy. Capped schools can also place new students elsewhere.
We don’t rate schools: test results are not open data, so a school’s quality is something to ask about on a visit.
