Review of Sparks, Nevada


Weather here is great!
Star Rating - 9/23/2008
Do not listen to the Californian. Sparks has all 4 seasons. It does snow here but the snow is very wet and melts quickly and it does not snow six months out of the year. We typically get one heavy snow a year and the rest are light dustings that melt the same day. The other 3 seasons are great. We do not get a lot of rain here but your weekend is never dampened from the rain. It is the high desert so the climate is very dry, but the up side is there's hardly any insects to run your day. Another big factor is there is rarely any severe weather here. Coming from Kansas that is a big relief.

Hello Mindy: I hope you are still loving Sparks. I have a former neighbor who lives there now and has been there for 22 years with her husband. I am 64 and currently live in Albuquerque after being born and raised in San Jose, CA. and I lived there for almost 60 years before moving in 2013. But my life in New Mexico has not been what I had hoped and I am hoping to move in two years or less. I cannot live at higher elevations now since I found out last year that I am HIGHLY allergic to juniper tree pollen in this desert climate at 4900' where I live. And now, I have to figure out where to move to at a much lower elevation. I can no longer afford the Bay Area and am considering looking at the Sun City Lincoln Hills community in Lincoln, CA. in the Sacramento area. I will be there in December for a look. By the way, I LOVE Kansas and it is my FAVORITE state!! I once looked at real estate in Emporia and Manhattan but then decided that the risk of severe weather, cold, snow and blizzards was more than I wanted to deal with. I am also a BIG KSU fan and I have friends in various parts of the state. I was just there in late April and early May for my many visits and discovered Wellington and Winfield for the first time and enjoyed BOTH cities, esp. the latter. Well, bye for now!
