Best Brandon Realtors
The Greater Brandon Area, which includes the neighboring eastern Hillsborough county communities of Seffner, Riverview, and Valrico, is a growing area in the Tampa Bay and Central Florida Region.
Brandon is largely residential and many of Brandon's residents commute to Tampa or the other surrounding cities. Brandon is ideal for this type of commute because of its easy access to two key interstates, I-4 and I-75.
Brandon public schools are a part of the Hillsborough County School District, which consists of more than 300 schools spread throughout Hillsborough County.
Business information can be found from the Brandon Chamber of Commerce.
Although still unincorporated, Brandon has grown by leaps and bounds and today could well be considered a major urban area, with an ongoing influx of new public schools, corporate centers, and industries.
