In buying one of the lots we have for sale within The Meadows in the Village of Chater, you will not only experience the charm of village living but will also have the convenience of a larger trading center near by. Brandon, located just a few minutes west of Chater, lies on each side of the Assiniboine River and is the second largest city in Manitoba, the largest being the capital of the province, Winnipeg, which is a two hour drive east.

Brandon has a population of about 46,000 and 56,000 people in its surrounding area. It is a major hub for the surrounding agricultural land base with the population of its trading area being between 70,000 to 150,000 people. The Canadian magazine, MoneySense ranked the city the 6th best place to live in Canada in its 2012 assessment of cities across Canada.

Its major industries have traditionally been related to agriculture, including fertilizer production and hog processing plants. A well-diversified retail network is now established in Brandon making it a shopping hub for the area. Many government agencies, located there also provide services for Western Manitoba, (the Westman area).
