Head east on Interstate 12 outside of Baton Rouge and you will run into the charming, family-oriented community of Denham Springs, LA. A designated Tree City and Main Street community, residents who are looking to move into Denham Springs apartments for rent will be joining a clean, beautiful and small business-driven community for Louisiana citizens.
According to data from the 2010 U.S. Census Bureau, the city is home to more than 10,000 residents, and that number is estimated to grow as more people find out about everything that Denham Springs has to offer. With its many parish events, quaint Southern hospitality, and excellent parks and recreational facilities, residents here enjoy their way of life.
Denham Springs is part of the Livingston Parish, one of the gems of the southern bayous of Louisiana. One of the most interesting reasons why this area has become so popular over the centuries is due to its proximity to groundwater springs on the property of one of the original settlers, William Denham - hence the city's name. The innovation of the railroad brought regular stops to Denham Springs, expanding the city's population and business growth.
However, since Baton Rouge's sprawl in recent decades, Denham Springs has largely become a bedroom community. According to City-Data, the area has seen a lot of growth in recent years, increasing its population by more than 17 percent from 2000 to 2010.
The Frenchtown Road Conservation Area is the largest park in the BREC system - nearly 500 acres - and is one of the most beautiful places in Denham Springs. As of May 2012, a total of 53 reptilian and amphibian species have been found on-site and this area features several unique recreational facilities of southeastern Louisiana, making this green space popular with wildlife watchers and nature lovers.
