The housing in Sterling Downs primarily consists of single-family homes built around the 1950s and 1960s, with some apartments mixed in. The architectural styles are largely Ranch and Mid-Century Modern, lending the neighborhood a timeless, classic feel. These homes often come with yards that are well-manicured, underscoring the community's pride in curb appeal. It is also one of the flattest neighborhoods in Belmont, offering easy walkability. One downside worth mentioning is that the neighborhood is close to the 101 highway, which could be a noise concern for some residents. However, this proximity also makes it convenient for commuting, striking a balance between suburban life and accessibility to work or other activities.
