Gonzales, Louisiana · Ascension Parish · 70737
Pelican Point is a golf community in Gonzales, Ascension Parish, 70737, run by the Pelican Point Golf Community Homeowners Association. The most common thing sellers and buyers get wrong about it: it is not a controlled-access gated community. The HOA states that most streets are owned by Ascension Parish and that its security guards cannot stop a vehicle from entering. Guards patrol 8:00pm to 4:00am and check resident decals; there is a gate at the rear entrance only.

Pelican Point
A golf community off Pelican Point Parkway in Gonzales, with a homeowners association and a semi-private 27-hole golf club that operates separately from the HOA.
The HOA states plainly that the swimming pool, the golf course and the tennis courts are not part of the Pelican Point HOA. A buyer who wants to play joins Pelican Point Golf & Country Club separately. Say that clearly in the listing rather than letting a buyer assume the dues cover golf and find out at the closing table.
Most streets are Ascension Parish property. The Greens, Pelican Isle Commons, Mallard Cove, Hidden Cove and River Winds have privately owned streets, and those owners pay into a street repair escrow. Which side of that line your house falls on changes what a buyer inherits, so confirm it before you list.
The HOA describes The Greens as one of three subdivisions within Pelican Point, limited to residents 55 years of age or better, with 166 completed garden homes and townhomes and its own board, financials and architectural committee. If your home is in The Greens, that restriction is the single biggest fact about your buyer pool.
The Greens and Pelican Isle Commons run their own boards and their own assessments on top of the main HOA. Order every applicable set of resale documents early, not the week of closing.

Property tax
It is not automatic, and it does not come with the house when you buy.
Homestead removes the first $7,500 of assessed value — roughly the first $75,000 of market value — from parish taxes on your primary residence. At the parish average of about 115 mills, a $250,000 home pays in the region of $2,012.50 a year after the exemption.
It is not automatic. The buyer of your home files their own, and if you are buying next, you file again at the new address. Your share of the year's taxes is prorated through the closing date and credited to the buyer at the act of sale.

The parish also runs an assessment freeze and a disabled-veterans exemption. Both are on the Ascension Parish page.

Flood
Louisiana's property disclosure document makes you state the flood zone and where you got it, whether the land or any structure has ever flooded, whether you carry flood insurance, whether you have an elevation certificate, and whether you or a previous owner made an NFIP or private flood claim — with the amounts.
Ascension Parish runs a floodplain management office, and FEMA's Flood Map Service Center is the source the state disclosure form itself points sellers at. What the zones mean, whether insurance is required, and whether you can hand your policy to the buyer: our Louisiana flood zone and insurance guide.

Questions
Gonzales, Louisiana, in Ascension Parish, ZIP 70737. A golf community off Pelican Point Parkway in Gonzales, with a homeowners association and a semi-private 27-hole golf club that operates separately from the HOA.
Pelican Point is not one pool of comparable homes. The Greens is a 55+ sub-association of 166 residences with its own board and its own assessments, and Pelican Isle Commons is separate again. A closed sale inside a sub-association tells you very little about a custom home on the main HOA’s rolls — different dues, different buyer, often a different product.
So we will not put a median on this page. A subdivision that sells a handful of homes a year does not produce a stable one — a single unusual sale moves it by tens of thousands, and publishing that as a fact would mislead you about your own house. Parish-level medians are stable enough to publish; street-level ones are not. The honest number comes from the closed sales that are genuinely comparable to yours, adjusted for floor plan, condition and lot, and we will pull them and show you the work. Ask for the number and you will usually have it within one business day.
Not in the controlled-access sense. Most streets inside Pelican Point are parish-owned, and the HOA states its guards cannot stop a vehicle. There is a gate at the rear entrance only. Security is on duty 8:00pm–4:00am daily checking resident decals, with cameras at the entrances and exits, and the Ascension Parish Sheriff’s Office handles traffic and law enforcement. If a listing tells you it is gated, that is the listing being loose with the word.
No. The HOA covers common areas, irrigation, lakes and fountains, the playground and ball park, entrance utilities, fences and signs, security, rear gate cards, insurance and administration. Swimming pool, golf course and tennis courts are explicitly not HOA amenities. Pelican Point Golf & Country Club is semi-private — 27 holes, the Links Course opened 1998 and the Lakes Course in 2002 — and it operates independently of the HOA. Club access is a separate transaction from buying the house.
No dollar figure is published. The HOA mails assessment invoices and no amount appears on its website, and the two sub-associations levy their own assessments on top. Anyone quoting you a Pelican Point dues number off a listing site is guessing. Ask PPHOA directly and get it in writing before you rely on it.
The parish baseline: homes took a median 26 days on market in Gonzales and 28 in Prairieville over July through September 2026 (ROAM MLS), then 30 to 45 days to the act of sale.
Two Pelican Point questions stall deals if they surface late, because both answers are counterintuitive: the community is not controlled-access, and golf, pool and tennis are not HOA amenities. Getting those in writing before you list keeps them out of week three. When you list moves it too.
Three things are the same for every seller in Ascension Parish, so they live on their own pages rather than being repeated on each subdivision page: what a sale actually costs you on the seller net sheet; the homestead exemption, how it is filed and why it does not transfer to your buyer, in the Ascension Parish guide; and when to list.
