Where city becomes town and town becomes high country

Sterling Ranch in Douglas County, Colorado, is a bold stroke of creativity for the area. Urban vibrancy meets mountain town ease. Walkable, friendly and connected. Now, the community is entering an exciting new phase. Massive new parks, miles of new trails, more resident amenities, and walkable neighborhood retail are coming. Along with Parkvale, a whole new village with new ways to live.

Let’s get together

The go-to meetup spot

Ranch Social

Located in Sterling Center, the newly renovated Ranch Social is the community’s original hub and community touchstone. Home to Atlas Coffee, Salta Wine & Cocktail Bar and Living the Dream Brewing, it’s a place to gather, grab coffee in the morning, and enjoy happy hour with your neighbors at the end of the day. Residents gather here for events like trivia and bingo nights, daily food trucks, and live music. Just steps away, the Agora Market makes it easy to grab a quick snack, a drink, or something to keep you fueled for the day. It’s also a great place to start your tour — to grab a beverage and pop into the new Info Center before heading out to the model homes.

The Sterling Center also brings much needed health services closer to home, including UC Health, Lake Family Dental, Sterling Eyecare, and Rave Spa & Medical Clinic.
