Opened in 1999, the year of The Woodlands' 25th anniversary, Sterling Ridge is one of the newest villages and received its name for that momentous occasion. Sterling Ridge is located on the western end of The Woodlands, surrounding Carlton Woods and home to the Gary Player Golf Course.

There are over 2,500 home in this fast growing village and recently, a 400 acre tract of land along FM 2978 within the Sterling Ridge Village was purchased and is currently under development. "Spindle Tree" as the neighborhood is to be called, will be comprised of another 900 single family homes. Schools currently serving the village include Deretchin Elementary (K-6 grades), Coulson Tough Elementary (K-6), and the Ninth Grade Campus for The Woodlands High School. The new Mitchell Library and YMCA location also call this village home.

The Sterling Ridge Village Association (SRVA) is in place to serve the interests and welfare of Sterling Ridge and its residents. Meetings can be found on the homepage of the SRVA Website.
