What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About Brandon

Close to stores and the intersection. Has a library, mall and hospital very close by. Plenty of activities to do around the area

I like my house. I like that there isn't a CDD or HOA. I like that it's an established neighborhood.

I like that it is close to groceries stores and everything you need. There is even a small park nearby.

Unique about our neighborhood- two parks very close by that are nice for the kids, but lack shade and rest facilites. -favorite local restaurants: Tsunami, World of Beer, and Tokai Sushi. Friends and family often like to visit downtown or the aquariums and zoos.

I like that everything is close and in walking distance if need be i could walk to target or walmart

I like the cleanliness of the neighborhood. I like that if I need to go somewhere I can walk. I love the local beaches and amusement parks

All About

Living in Brandon, FL

Brandon is a large, rapidly growing suburb of Tampa Bay and is home to over 90,000 residents. Finding apartments in Brandon will allow you to experience the community feel and space of the suburbs with excellent big city amenities close at hand.

Great opportunities for shopping are something you typically find in a major city like Tampa, but Brandon, a suburb, provides excellent options for entertainment and shopping as well. Close to Brandon apartments in the center of town you will find Westfield Brandon, Regency Square Mall and Brandon Crossing Shopping Center. You can also catch a movie on one of the 20 screens at the Regency Square AMC Theater.

Brandon isn't short on delicious eats either. Instead of eating in your Brandon apartment every night, get out and experience the local flavors. Enjoy a variety of meats carved at your table with warm bread at Fuego Churrascaria Steakhouse. Head over to Fat Willie's Fish Camp for some savory fried seafood, or try some authentic Spanish cuisine at La Septima. And, Beef O'Brady's may be a chain restaurant found all across the country, but it's considered local food here where it began in the 1980's.

While you may not live within the city limits of Tampa, Brandon apartments are close to museums, theaters and sporting events in the Tampa Bay area. A Buccaneers game, the Museum of Art and academic institutions are only a short drive away.
