Sterling offers new homes and a secluded feel near Interstate 95
Sterling is a growing community in Georgia’s Golden Isles region that retains its country feel. “Sterling definitely has a more rural, peaceful environment,” says Erin Vaughn, an associate broker with The Listing Pros Team at Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices. “You typically have larger lot sizes there. It’s ideal for people looking for a slower pace and more yard space.” Located about 10 miles from Brunswick, the area’s blend of seclusion and interstate access — all within 30 minutes of Georgia’s beaches — has spurred new development, and subdivisions with new homes have become a common sight.
Sterling is heavily shaded by tall trees.
Sterling is home to several new construction properties.

A growing area of 21st-century suburbs among longstanding rural homes
Most homes here are 21st-century ranch-style and new traditional houses with Craftsman and colonial influences. These typically sit on quarter-acre to half-acre lots in suburban-style subdivisions that feature manicured lawns, paved driveways and sidewalk-lined streets. There are a few early- to mid-20th-century homes that retain the community’s rural character, with houses positioned far back from the road and more space between neighbors. Prices typically range from around $180,000 to $470,000, though a remodeled 1920s bungalow on 23 acres recently sold for around $730,000. Manufactured homes can cost between $175,000 and $200,000. Undeveloped quarter-acre to half-acre lots range from around $15,000 to $40,000.
Smaller traditional homes offer timeless exterior designs.
Sterling has large ranch style homes on several acres of land.

At moderate risk for flooding and hurricanes
Most of Glynn County is in a flood zone, but Sterling’s inland location puts it at a lower risk of flooding than surrounding areas. The area is also at risk for hurricanes, which are most common from June through November. Though it’s uncommon for hurricanes to make landfall in Georgia, Sterling can experience the effects of nearby storms, including wind damage, power outages and storm surge.
