Welcome to Aldarra
Living in Aldarra, WA
Aldarra is Sammamish's other gated golf community, built around The Club at Aldarra — a Tom Fazio-designed course on land with real history. The property was originally the 400-acre Aldarra Farm, owned by William Boeing Jr., where he raised prize-winning Black Angus cattle before the family partnered with Fazio in the late 1990s to transform the pastureland into a championship course.
Today, Aldarra is defined by custom luxury estates, large private lots, and the kind of quiet, forested seclusion that's hard to find this close to the Eastside's job centers.

About Aldarra
Aldarra is Sammamish's other private, gated golf community, built on the former 400-acre Aldarra Farm once owned by William Boeing Jr., who raised prize-winning Black Angus cattle on the land before it was transformed in the late 1990s into a Tom Fazio-designed championship course. The neighborhood is defined by custom luxury estates on large, private lots, served by the Issaquah School District, and offers residents two private neighborhood parks in addition to club access.
Aldarra Housing Market
Like Sahalee, Aldarra sits in the Eastside's luxury tier, where inventory climbed roughly 62% year-over-year in early 2026 and median luxury pricing corrected an estimated 7% as buyers gained more room to negotiate after years of tight supply. NWMLS's Eastside-wide breakout for March 2026 showed a $1,392,000 median with just over 3 months of inventory — still favoring sellers, but far looser than the near-zero-inventory conditions of a few years ago.
Why Buy a Home in Aldarra?
Aldarra pairs genuine privacy and space — some of the largest lots available in Sammamish — with real history and a nationally-designed golf course most gated communities can't match. It's a fit for buyers who want a true retreat feel without leaving the Eastside job corridor behind.
