Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Gonzales likes to say it's the Jambalaya Capital of the world, mostly because the town puts on an annual Jambalaya Festival every September on Memorial Day Weekend. It also likes to use this moniker for marketing purposes-most people agree that "Jambalaya Capital of the World" is catchier than Gonzales! More recently, the city was noted as being the location where lost pets were brought after Hurricane Katrina; here, pet owners could search for the fuzzy friends from whom they'd been separated.
The City of Gonzales is a suburb of Baton Rouge, or at least it has slowly become one over the years. The population of the Baton Rouge capital city area, as it's known, slowly swelled over the years until all of the towns found between Baton Rouge and Gonzales, which are about 30 minutes apart on Interstate 10, eventually became one long city. Gonzales is part of Ascension Parish (a Parish being pretty much the same thing as a county in these parts) right off the banks of the Mississippi River. There are about 10,000 residents in Gonzales proper, but the population of the capital city is about 815,300. Life in Gonzales isn't much different from anywhere else in the U.S. because of its relative close proximity to the big city. You have a downtown-ish area that is the heart and soul of the community, which is surrounded by sprawling suburbs - you won't find any hi rise apartments here - with many choices for big-box retail shopping all over the area. It'll take you no time to adjust to your surroundings once you rent an apartment in Gonzales and settle into the area. View Gonzales City Guide
Looking for 1 bedroom apartments in Gonzales offers a variety of choices and price points. 1 bedroom apartments allow more privacy than living with a roommate, and gives you more flexibility to find the perfect space for yourself or with a significant other.
There are a few things to consider when touring 1 bedroom apartments, including the square footage and layout. In some cities, small 1 bedroom apartments may cost nearly the same as a studio apartment. Decide whether cost, amenities, or location are the most important to help guide your apartment search.
If cost is a factor while searching for 1 bedroom apartments in Gonzales, consider which floor you will live on. The bottom floor is often cheaper than top floor units, or there may be a unit with undesirable views or with an outdated kitchen that rents for less.
Remember to come prepared during your apartment hunt with pay stubs, a letter of employment or recommendation, identification, and a checkbook to act quickly. The best 1 bedroom apartments require fast action, so come ready to sign.
