Bruderheim for Industrial Heartland Workers
Bruderheim is a Lamont County town of 1,329 (2021 Census) about 47 km northeast of Edmonton, just north of where Highways 15 and 45 meet. Most of the southwest households we help here have a job that moved to the Industrial Heartland plants northeast of the city, and a commute from Terwillegar has become too long.

Home of the brothers
German Moravian settlers from Volhynia founded Bruderheim in 1894; the name means home of the brothers. On March 4, 1960, a meteorite fell nearby, and the Bruderheim meteorite is still one of the better-known finds in Canada.
Market
27 homes sold in the 12 months to October 31 at a median of $337,000, in a median of 34 days. 7 were listed on Nov 8.

Our comparison point in the southwest is Twin Brooks, where detached homes sold at a median of $647,500 over the same 12 months. For a Twin Brooks seller, that difference can pay down a large share of the mortgage.
Swapping commutes
From the southwest, a Heartland commute means crossing the whole city on the Henday twice a day. From Bruderheim, Highway 15 runs southwest through Fort Saskatchewan, and the plants are close. If your household has one person working downtown or in the south, map both commutes before deciding.
School and care
Bruderheim Elementary (K to 6) is run by Elk Island Public Schools; older students travel to nearby schools. Spring Creek Manor offers seniors housing in town. The Lamont Health Care Centre's emergency department is open 8 am to 8 pm daily, so night emergencies go to Fort Saskatchewan.
