Gonzales area
How is the Gonzales area? A friend is considering moving to that area. Can he find an affordable apartment in a safe area there?

Gonzales is mostly safe and is growing rapidly. I'm starting to see apartments popping up along the interstate exits there, particularly the Hwy 30 exit.
The thing to remember about Ascension Parish was that it was a poor river parish before the petrochemical industry moved in. So the areas NOT to live in are on the west bank (Donaldsonville) or near the river. Between I-10 and Airline all the wya down to LA 30 are where a lot of the affluent new subdividions are, although between Airline and the Amite River, you have a mixture of good ole Cajuns and more modestly priced new subdivisions. |

Gonzales, Prairieville
I lived between Prairieville and Gonzales in a little area called Galvez about 15 years ago and always felt safe. Apartments (the two they did have back then) were very reasonable and the people were great. I still have friends in the area and they say it is booming there but still they wouldn't live anywhere else.

My friend won't be needing info on the Gonzales area. He won't be making it back to Louisiana after all because he took his life May 11, another Katrina casualty.
Rest In Peace my brother.
