Residences are arranged among lakes, mature landscaping and approximately 100 acres of protected natural surroundings, creating preserve, lake and landscaped views throughout the community. Individual properties vary considerably in size, style and features, with private pools, screened lanais, garages and outdoor living spaces found among many of the residences.
Sterling Oaks is particularly well known for its tennis program and extensive recreational amenities. Residents can enjoy a large community pool, fitness center, pickleball, bocce, dining and social facilities, while tennis is available through a separate optional membership.

Sterling Oaks does not have a golf course or mandatory golf membership, making it especially appealing to buyers who prefer racquet sports and other recreation over a traditional golf-centered country club.
