Brandon Florida - A Popular Tampa Bay Community



Located in the southeastern corner of Hillsborough County, Brandon is one of the most popular suburbs of Tampa Bay with easy access via I-75 and I-4 to both Tampa and Orlando,

In 1858, John Brandon purchased 40 acres in the New Hope (the former name of Tampa) area and another 160 acres later on and then named his land Brandon. In 1890, the Florida Central and Peninsula Railroad came through the area and John's wife, Victoria, convinced a civil engineer for the railroad to survey the area and lay out a "town".

Growing rapidly from its origins as a rural area, Brandon has become a place of refuge for families seeking a peaceful and convenient location. The population of Brandon stood at 90,470 as of 2007 up by 16.1% since the 2000 census.

Known for being one of Tampa's premier bedroom community, Brandon has the usual population of strip malls but it also has one of the largest and nicest regional malls in Florida. Quality schools also make Brandon a favorite community for families with children.

There is a wide variety of nerighborhoods - something to suit every taste and lifestyle. New and resale homes are for sale in neighborhoods such as Brentwood Hills, Heather Lakes, Hickory Lakes, Providence Lakes, and Sterling Ranch. Home prices appeal to a wide range of housing needs and lifestyles, and are range from the mid $100's to over $1 Million.
