Brandon real estate

Started by family values, Brandon philosophy remains the same today. Brandon was originally founded in 1857 by John Brandon, his wife and their six sons who first arrived at Fort Brooke (now Tampa). John purchased 40 acres and moved his family to what is now known as Seffner. Nine years later John’s wife died. Eventually John re-married a widow by the named of Victoria. In 1874 John purchases 160 acres south of Hopewell Road now known as Hwy 60 and names his land Brandon. In 1890, The Florida Central and Peninsula Railroad moved into Brandon by building a depot on Moon Avenue. By 1922, the population has grown to 100. Nine years later Hwy 60 started as a nine foot wide paved road. Brandon was definitely a farming area from raising chickens, cows, vegetable and oranges. With little to no growth during WWII, Brandon held on by means of selling their goods. By the early 1960’s, Brandon’s population grew to 1000 people, but by 1980, Brandon’s growth rapidly takes off in the southern area and, by 1988 Brandon’s population rose by nearly 100,000 people.

Today, Brandon’s residential population sits over 178,000 and is classified as an urban area The average age of Brandon’s residences is 35 with over 45% of the population making over $75,000 annual income. Since the opening of Brandon Town Center in 1995, the mall has generated new growth and spurred large retail competition. The Bloomingdale area inside of Brandon quickly expanded around the Bloomingdale golf course as did other golf course communities in Brandon.
