Surrounding a 45-acre lake, Sterling on the Lake is a master-planned community within reach of Flowery Branch. Bike trails line the streets of the community's multiple subdivisions, leading to the waterfront and recreational areas. “The community is very large,” says Rich Orban, a Realtor at Red 1 Realty with over 20 years of real estate experience. “Sterling Lake houses plenty of amenities such as fishing, kayaking, and even our own picnic island people row out to.” The community has an active HOA that hosts classes and events in the clubhouse, giving residents plenty of opportunities to stay engaged.
