16 Woodland Trail

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.
