Gonzales, TX Homes for Rent

The small city of Gonzales boasts an outsized role in state history as the place where the Texas Revolution started. Officials in 1831 refused to return a cannon loaned to them by Mexico, which lead to the first shots of the historic event. This act of defiance was known as the “Come and Take It” incident, and today’s roughly 7,600 residents pay homage to their ancestors’ tenacity by way of their city flag and the meticulously curated artifacts from that time – including the cannon – displayed in their many museums. As the county seat of Gonzales County, the city is home to local government offices and the county jail. This city also boasts quiet residential streets, a historic downtown and a tight-knit Central Texas feel. Homes here are a mix of bungalows, ranch-style and New Traditionals. They sit on grass lawns dotted with mature trees along quiet residential streets. While many homes have quarter-acre lots, some sit on two or more acres. Prices range from $150,000 for a small two-bedroom to $400,000 for a large three- or four-bedroom with sprawling front and back lawns. Land is also available. Most lots are a quarter-acre to an acre and are priced between $25,000 and $75,000.
