Welcome to Sahalee
Living in Sahalee, WA
Sahalee is one of the most exclusive addresses on the Sammamish Plateau — a gated community built around the Sahalee Country Club, a 27-hole championship golf course that's hosted the PGA Championship, a U.S. Senior Open, and a World Golf Championship. Homes inside the gates typically range from $1.2 million to $3 million, with properties outside the gates reaching up to $7 million for lake and mountain views.
Whether golf is the draw or simply the privacy and setting, Sahalee offers a level of seclusion that's rare this close to Microsoft and Amazon's Eastside campuses.

About Sahalee
Sahalee is one of the most prestigious gated addresses in Sammamish, built around the Sahalee Country Club — a 27-hole championship course that's hosted the PGA Championship, a U.S. Senior Open, and a World Golf Championship. Homes inside the gated Sahalee Estates typically run $1.2 million to $3 million, with select properties outside the gates reaching up to $7 million. The neighborhood draws a buyer profile that skews toward tech executives and golf enthusiasts, many working at Microsoft's nearby Redmond campus (10-12 minutes away) or Amazon's Bellevue headquarters (about 20 minutes).
Sahalee Housing Market
The Eastside luxury segment — the tier Sahalee sits within — saw inventory rise sharply in early 2026, up roughly 62% year-over-year by one Q1 report, with luxury pricing correcting an estimated 7% across the Eastside as buyers gained real negotiating leverage after years of extreme scarcity. NWMLS's broader Eastside breakout put the March 2026 median at $1,392,000 with just over 3 months of supply — still a seller-favoring market, but a meaningful shift from the sub-one-month conditions of recent years.
Why Buy a Home in Sahalee?
Beyond the golf, Sahalee offers a level of privacy that's genuinely hard to find this close to major Eastside employers — a 24/7 staffed gate, mature forested lots, and a fairway-lined setting that feels worlds away from the plateau's more typical planned communities, all while staying within a 10-20 minute drive of Microsoft, Amazon, and downtown Bellevue.
