welcome to
The Sterling at Prairie Trail

Welcome home. You’re going to love it here. The Sterling at Prairie Trail is a community unlike any other neighborhood in Ankeny, Iowa and is right down the road from the community’s vibrant new development known as The District at Prairie Trail. If you’ve never been to The District, it’s “hip urban vibe” meets “small town, Iowa nice.” 

We’re different than other communities. We put our people first – our residents, our employees, and our commitment to be the best. At The Sterling, you’ll find everything is delivered with a personal touch because we want you to enjoy living here, all while feeling safe and a part of a big family. We offer quality amenities and regular activity options, so there is always an opportunity to try new things, get involved in the community, and meet new people.
