If someone asks where Sparta Heights is, tell them it's a twenty-acre subdivision of ranch homes just outside downtown Grand Rapids—about twenty-three minutes from the center of the city. The lots run a quarter-acre each, which means you've got room to breathe without maintaining five acres. Lamoreaux Park is a three-minute walk away, and there are seven parks within a mile if you're the type who actually uses them. Groceries and restaurants are both about an eight-minute walk, with eighteen places to eat and six grocery stores within reasonable distance.
