Thonotosassa today is still largely rural, with many five- to ten-acre tracts cultivated as ornamental nursery stock farms and as land for farming and cattle. The community is pulling together with a formal community plan and advisory committee in an attempt to maintain the area’s rustic nature and character, as well as to direct the inevitable growth in ways that enhance, instead of hurt, the community and its land. The median home price for a 2-bedroom home is $118,000; for a 4-bedroom it is $350,000. Several RV parks dot the area, as well as several older homes where old-time residents may still be found. But property values are rising—and they are expected to continue to do so with the addition of several new subdivisions, such as Stonelake Ranch.
