What is a master-planned community?

Simply put, a master-planned community is a thoughtfully designed residential neighborhood with distinct boundaries within which are a variety of homes and amenities. The nation’s top-performing master-planned communities in 2021 were evaluated on the following specific criteria, as defined by John Burns:

“A range of home sizes, types, and prices and a variety of builders”

To serve a growing population of families in all different stages of life, with different lifestyles, variety is at the heart of the home options at Sterling Ranch.

    • Home sizes: Here you’ll find 2-bedroom townhomes and 8-bedroom custom homes — and everything in between!
    • Home types: Townhomes, ranch-style paired homes, 2- and 3-story single-family homes, custom-designed homes — we offer them all here at Sterling Ranch.
    • Prices: Affordable options in a range of price points are available for those looking to buy their first homes, upgrade to dream homes, or downsize for a more low-maintenance lifestyle.
    • Variety of builders: Our lineup of award-winning builders offer inspiring model homes available to tour throughout our distinct villages.

“Consistent themes such as signage, landscaping, lighting, street names, mailboxes, etc.”

Sterling Ranch preserves the character of the community on many levels. Landscaping guidelines ensure individual properties and common spaces are consistent with the community’s aesthetics and are harmonious with the surrounding area. Each of the community’s three distinct neighborhoods (of the total nine planned) — Providence Village, Ascent Village and Prospect Village — reflects a unique style through its location in the community, its walkable amenities and its homes’ exterior designs. From its aptly named streets and consistent signage to its community-wide 21st-century intelligent streetlights, when you’re in Sterling Ranch, you know it.
