A spark in your day

A sun-drenched suburb in the desert outside Reno, Sparks Galleria has views of the surrounding mountains, quiet streets and easy access to the popular Sparks Galleria Shopping center. The neighborhood mixes a section of homes that are relatively new construction and an older area where the neighborhood shows some diversity in housing styles. “It’s a very built-up area,” says Catherine Manipon, a Realtor with Ferrari-Lund Real Estate Reno. “People enjoy living near the shopping center.” For a homebuyer looking to join a sunny community outside the cities of Sparks and Reno, Sparks Galleria is an option worth considering.

A tidy suburban community

Homes in Sparks Galleria tend to start at around $430,000 and can reach up to $550,000. This classic suburb has sidewalk-lined streets, cul-de-sacs and the mix of grass and gravel longs that are so common in desert neighborhoods outside Reno. “A lot of the houses here are more established,” Manipon says. “And it's an attractive area because Sparks is growing.” The neighborhood is essentially two distinct areas – one, a planned community where architectural styles are relatively identical, and the other, where potential homebuyers can pick from ranch and modern-style homes, Spanish Revivals and some split levels. Both offer a suburban feel but have different aesthetic elements to offer.
