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. See more
Scoring an apartment with hardwood floors can be a big win for Gonzales renters. They`re typically a beautiful addition to your space. They’re also easier to clean and sweep, particularly if you have pets.
However, there are some downsides. Hardwood floors carry sounds. They can also make your apartment noisy for your roommates and downstairs neighbors.
Ask the landlord or property manager about the hardwood floors before signing a lease. Are they actually hardwood or a popular composite alternative? The latter is probably easier to clean and care for than the real thing.
It’s also important to ask about who’s responsible for any damage to the floors and what that entails. Your security deposit could take a hit from scratches, dents, and other damage.
Consider the type of climate you live in. Hardwood floors typically don’t fare well in damp climates full of moisture. Stains and buckling are common in hardwood floors after rain flooding or excessive moisture.
However, hardwood floors can be ideal for dry climates or sunny areas for renters who love the way they look.
