ABOUT STERLING

DESIGNED FOR GENERATIONS. BUILT FOR TODAY.

Sterling is one of Pacific Highlands Ranch’s most distinctive luxury neighborhoods, developed by Lennar in 2017. Comprising just 51 residences, this intimate community occupies a central location within PHR and offers some of the most thoughtfully designed floor plans in the entire master-planned community.

The neighborhood’s streets — including Terrazo Court, Kenmar Way, and Elegante Way — are positioned steps from The Village at Pacific Highlands Ranch, Pacific Trails Middle School, the PHR Community Park, and an easy drive to the stunning beaches of Del Mar. This central location makes Sterling one of the most walkable and conveniently situated neighborhoods within Pacific Highlands Ranch.

What truly sets Sterling apart is Lennar’s innovative Home Within A Home® concept. Many homes in the community feature a private suite with a separate entrance, independent bedroom, living area, full bathroom, kitchenette, and laundry — creating a self-contained living space ideal for multigenerational families, adult children, long-term guests, or live-in caregivers. This level of flexibility and privacy is extraordinarily rare in Pacific Highlands Ranch and makes Sterling uniquely suited to households with evolving needs.

Homes within Sterling offer approximately 3,712 to 4,208 square feet of living space and typically feature four to five bedrooms. Open-concept floor plans are anchored by expansive kitchens and great rooms designed for both everyday family life and large-scale entertaining. Contemporary finishes, generous outdoor spaces, and thoughtful architectural details round out homes that feel both luxurious and livable.

Residents of Sterling enjoy access to the Solterra Swim Club, which features a resort-style pool, spa, BBQ areas, and a tot lot — ideal for families and outdoor gatherings year-round.

An extensive trail network and over 1,300 acres of preserved open space are accessible from the community, and proximity to the Del Mar coast, One Paseo, and key freeways ensures easy connectivity throughout San Diego County.

Families are drawn to Sterling for its access to the Del Mar Union School District, with students typically attending Pacific Sky School, followed by Pacific Trails Middle School, and either Canyon Crest Academy or Torrey Pines High School. School enrollment and attendance boundaries should always be verified directly with the applicable school district.

For those seeking a luxury home with unmatched flexibility, a central location, and one of the most innovative floor plan concepts in Pacific Highlands Ranch, Sterling represents a truly exceptional opportunity.
