Quality of Life is like a mantra here, unfortunately more of a political one. The area is growing at an astounding rate but mostly in my opinion due to location. Right  More

Gonzales (and surrounding area) is a fair town to live in. Not much to brag about, little or no excitement except youth sports, but then there is very little crime here  More

A very family oriented place with little to no cultural activities outside of regional ones. Be prepared to feel like a 'stranger in a strange land'  More
