The Sterling on the Lake community is located within the city limits of Flowery Branch, named after a Cherokee Indian word, Anaguluskee, meaning "flowers on the branch." Here, you'll find a friendly, small-town atmosphere close to area employment centers and just 40 miles north of Atlanta. Stroll through the historic downtown, which dates back to 1873 when train tracks were laid from Charlotte to Atlanta, and enjoy galleries, boutiques and local eats within the restored buildings. Take in a Gwinnett Stripers or Atlanta Falcons Spring Training game. Or, enjoy the wide-open spaces and make a quick escape to Lake Lanier or the mountains.
