Brandon Township offers charm and convenience northwest of Detroit

Located in the southeastern part of Michigan, the Oakland County suburb of Brandon Township is conveniently located about 35 miles northwest of Detroit – but the big-city influence is evident in this northern suburb. Brandon Township is conveniently located near major highways and urban centers and strikes a perfect balance between the tranquility of suburban living and the accessibility of city amenities.

"Living in Brandon is an experience that marries the charm of a tight-knit community with the conveniences of modern living,” says Maya Rushing, a Realtor with Keller Williams Paint Creek. “The diverse architecture offers something for everyone, whether you're drawn to the historic homes or the contemporary loft spaces.” The township’s strategic location helps residents enjoy a serene community while still being well-connected to the pandemonium of the urban scene. Living in Brandon offers a unique blend of rich history, diverse architectural styles, top-tier schools and an array of residential amenities.

Brandon covers an area that offers ample space for its vibrant neighborhoods, parks and amenities. With a land area of approximately 36 square miles, Brandon Township provides plenty of room for a diverse range of housing and outdoor recreational spaces. But despite its spacious layout, Brandon maintains a close-knit atmosphere. “The sense of community here is truly remarkable, with local events and friendly neighbors making you feel right at home,” says Rushing.
