Less than an hour north of Atlanta, we believe this award winning community built by Newland Communities offers a big bang for the buck for those looking for the best places to retire Georgia or to raise a young family. 45 acre Looper Lake is the largest of its lakes and is the centerpiece of the neighborhood. Buyers searching for newer north GA real estate developments and reliable national home builders like DR Horton, will find Sterling on the Lake a good place to explore new homes.

The community's private Lake Sterling is a tranquil place to canoe, fish and enjoy a walk around the lake. The community's 8,000 square foot lodge-style clubhouse overlooks the lake and two resort-style swimming pools. In front of the clubhouse, the community's 4.5 acre great lawn is where social events take place including the annual Harvest Balloon Festival. Property owners who want boating access on Lake Lanier can access Hideaway Bay Marina less than 5 miles from the neighborhood.

Sterling on the Lake Reviews

4.7 / 5 (118 reviews)
"Love Sterling on the Lake because of the vast amount of organized activities for the residents, the resort style amenities, walking trails and waterfall, tennis academy for kids, tennis coaches and all the tennis social events and teams. Sterling on the Lake is within 2 miles of Lake Lanier, major hospitals and shopping. Eventhough Sterling has over 700 homeowners currently, and we continue to grow, everyone is like family here. We support one another when sick, tragedy strikes family and we celebrate together. The community offers 2 pools, tube slide, lake, fishing, boating, walking, concerts, cooking classes, parties, dinners together, and the list goes on. Anyone would be so proud to be a part of such a great community, such as, Sterling on the Lake."

"They fine you for 3 weeds sticking out of the grass, flowers, mulch and even for having your trash can out by the curb to long on trash service day. Even tree limbs must be cut 6' above ground! They are too ridiculous on how you maintain your own yard."
