Today, Parma offers a peaceful, rural lifestyle with a close-knit community, ideal for families and those seeking a quieter pace.

The village is located in Western School District, and is just minutes from Spring Arbor University. With convenient access to I-94 and nearby cities like Jackson and Albion, Parma blends small-town charm with modern connectivity, making it a welcoming place to call home.
