About Brandon

Brandon is a residential community and a census-designated place in Hillsborough County. Located just 11 miles east of Tampa, Brandon is a community of approximately 115,000 people. It is close to Interstate 4 and Interstate 75, making it easy to commute to Tampa and other cities in the region.

Founded in the mid-1800s, it quickly grew from a small community to a booming suburb by the 1980s. It is known for being a bedroom community for Tampa - as well as the birthplace of Beef O’Brady’s.

Brandon is more affordable than many suburbs in and around Tampa. The median rent price in Brandon is $2,180 per month, with houses renting for anywhere from $1,100 to $5,000 per month.

Like many Tampa suburbs, Brandon consists of a mix of single-family homes, townhouses, condos, and apartments. You can find a home to rent in Brandon to fit almost any budget, from older houses to new construction to luxury houses.

Brandon is 35 square miles in size. Its attractions include the Hillsborough County Fair, the Florida Academy for the Performing Arts, Emmaus Baptist College, and Hillsborough Community College. There is plenty to do in Brandon, including shopping at the Brandon Exchange, going out to eat, or enjoying the outdoors at one of Brandon’s many parks - such as Alafia River State Park, All Persons Rotary Park, Paul Sanders Park, Parsons Park, and the Bertha and Tony Saladino Park.

Of course, Brandon is close enough to Tampa that you can easily hop into the city to take in a pro sporting event, see a show, or enjoy some nightlife. Brandon is also a short drive from attractions like Zoo Tampa and Busch Gardens - as well as the beaches along Hillsborough Bay, Old Tampa Bay, and the Gulf Coast of Florida.
