Sterling Heights

Sterling Heights, often referred to as Sterling is a city located in the northern part of Ridgeway County on the west coast.

The city is known for its large port located on the west coast of the area. Sterling is also home to many residents of Ridgeway County due to its residential area.

Sterling does not have a municipal government or police department but is within the jurisdiction of the RCSO and RSP. The Sheriff's Office owns a sub-station located in the northern part of the city which is also used by other law enforcement.

The city is also home to the county's only school, however, this building is inaccessible.

History
The city has remained the same and no major development updates have been initiated towards it. The previous update was the housing update which brought many residents into Sterling. And, as of January 26th, 2022, a new place, "Sterling Fitness" has opened replacing what Squareheaddude calls the foreclosed Funiture Store.

Northern Sterling
There is no settlement or buildings in northern Sterling. The only major structure is the Sterling Bridge, the largest and longest bridge within Ridgeway County.

Western Sterling
Western Sterling consists mainly of the port and the downtown area. The downtown is home to many businesses and government buildings. There's a large freight area for trains as they deliver goods to and from the port.

Eastern Sterling
The residential area of Sterling is located in eastern Sterling. The area is often referred to as "hood" due to the large number of crimes happening in the area. Houses here are smaller and often called less valuable and are thus more likely to be vacant for rent. The city ends on the east coast located behind the hill.

Southern Sterling
The Sterling City limits begin right after the so-called RNG-Sterling intersection. There are no buildings in southern Sterling, although there is a beach on the west coast that extends outside the border of the city.

Crime
Crime is a significant issue in Sterling. The city is home to many known criminals and gangs as the residential area is close to services such as the car dealership, gun club, illegal dealer, gas station, and car repair shop. Sterling has been conquered many times by criminal organizations, with shootouts most often occurring at the car dealership, hood, gun club, and gas station.

Law enforcement takes relatively long to respond to the area, as the closest spawn locations are located at the RSP Barracks and RCSO Headquarters. There is a placeholder group for Sterling Heights Police Department created by Squareheaddude. Despite this, it has been confirmed that Sterling Heights will not receive a police station.
