Brandon, FL 143 Cheap Apartments for Rent

Before the land was settled and formed into a town, this Florida site was known as New Hope. John Brandon bought the land in 1858 and his name subsequently stuck to the township. In 1890, the Florida Central and Peninsula Railroad came past the village; motivated by the opportunity for economic growth the railroad represented, residents built a train depot on Moon Street and were soon declared an official town.

Finding cheap apartments in Brandon takes some ingenuity and effort, as well as quick action.
