Sparta is picturesque township located on the shores of Lake Mohawk in the northern reaches of New Jersey. Home to nearly 20,000 people, Sparta provides an idyllic setting for families and renters from all walks of life. There’s charming homes and expanses of greenery that give the township of Sparta a secluded feel, but in reality you’re only a 30-minute drive from the more dense areas of the state to the east, such as Parsippany-Troy Hills.
Locally owned cafes and shops can be found on Sparta Avenue, not far from the parks and beaches along the lake. Mohawk Lake is a popular spot all year round, especially for fishermen, but summer is when the reservoir really comes alive with locals. If you enjoy the water and charm of a small town, look for a rental in Sparta.

School data provided by
GreatSchools
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
