A popular residential area for Washington, DC commuters, Sterling is located in the eastern part of Loudoun County, one of the fastest growing counties in the United States since the 1990's. Sterling borders the northwest area of Herndon, is east of Ashburn, and west of Great Falls.

The following types of housing are readily available in and around Sterling VA:

  • Single Family Homes from $150,000 to $1,500,000

Sterling Park is a portion of Sterling with the ZIP code of 20164. The land where Sterling Park was built was mainly made up of a few very large farms. When construction of Dulles International Airport began in 1959, land prices began to rise. In 1961 Marvin T. Broyhill Sr. saw this as a great investment opportunity and decided to buy the 1,762 acres (7.13 km2) that now make up Sterling Park for the price of $2,115,783.86. Construction of homes priced $14,800 to $22,500 was completed by 1967. Sterling Park was one of the first planned communities built in eastern Loudoun County and was a popular place for government workers to settle with their families outside Washington, D.C. Sterling Park also contains a variety of businesses, churches, parks, a community center, a semi-private golf club featuring two pools and tennis courts, and schools. It is the home of the Park View High School Patriots.

Potomac Falls is an unincorporated census-designated place also located in Loudoun County. Potomac Falls lies along the Potomac River and is in the northern-most portion of Sterling with the ZIP code of 20165 and borders the state of Maryland. The name for Potomac Falls came from a competition to name the new Post Office, the second one in Sterling. Alternately called Potomac Falls or Sterling, the village consists of the communities Glen Heather, Cascades, CountrySide, Lowes Island, Rivercrest, Potomac Hunt, Great Falls Forest and Great Falls Chase. (Great Falls Forest was first considered a part of Fairfax County, however, when an additional part of the neighborhood was added, it was switched to Loudoun County. Great Falls Chase, is also a new addition to what was previously known as Great Falls Forest.) Development of Potomac Falls began in the early 1990s, and is still in process today. Potomac Falls borders Great Falls and Fairfax County to the southeast and has several shopping areas, schools, and community centers. Potomac Falls is also home to three 18-hole golf courses including Trump National Golf Club and is home to the Potomac Falls High School Panthers.

This area of northern Virginia, Sterling has a rich historical background, with land grants from King Charles II dating back to 1649. Recreation opportunities can be enjoyed at places like Algonkian Regional Park and Claude Moore Park, which occupies 357 acres in Sterling and includes softball and baseball fields, hiking trails, and the park.

The growth of technology businesses in the Dulles Corridor, expansion activity at Washington-Dulles International Airport, and increases in federal government contracts have contributed to the county's high rate of employment growth. From1998 to 2008, Loudoun County added over 67,000 net new jobs.

The diversity of employment in Loudoun has allowed the county to maintain stability even when certain industries, or the economy in general, experience a slow down. Loudoun's low unemployment rate continues to compare very favorably with the U.S. average.

Bordered by the Blue Ridge Mountains and Potomac River, Loudoun is widely known for its beautiful scenery, rich history and strong sense of community. The county also enjoys a reputation for high quality services, including a first-rate educational system.
