Sparta offers residents the best of both worlds! Being close to Grand Rapids, offering the benefits of living near a large city, and providing a small-town community feel. Summers in Sparta are filled with plenty of community events including a Farmer's Market, concerts, movies in Rogers Park, Sparta Town & Country Days, Celtic Fest, Michigan Apple Fest and Sparta Gus Macker 3-on-3 Basketball Tournament. The Rogue River is located nearby the Riverview Manufactured Home Community and is popular for Trout fishing and inner tube floating. This community is intersected in parts by the 92-mile long White Pine Trail, extending from Grand Rapids to Cadillac, where people enjoy walking, running, biking, and in the winter months, snowmobiling. This family-friendly community lies within the Spartan Area School District.
