Which homes are on this page?

Every NWMLS listing in Sammamish, Issaquah, Redmond and Bellevue that the listing broker marked Waterfront and that names Lake Sammamish, plus the twelve months of closings behind them. Waterfront means the lot meets the water; homes with a lake view but no frontage are on the view pages.

Can I build or replace a dock on Lake Sammamish?

Usually, with permits from the city's shoreline program, the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (a Hydraulic Project Approval), the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and, where the lakebed is state-owned, a Department of Natural Resources authorization. New docks follow current size and grating rules; an existing legal dock can be repaired. RexMont checks the dock's permit history before you write.

What does a waterfront inspection on Lake Sammamish add?

The bulkhead or natural shoreline (repair or replacement is the largest cost on a lake lot), the dock structure and pilings, the boat lift, drainage toward the water, the septic or sewer line near the shore, and the shoreline setback that limits where you can build. A marine contractor's look at the bulkhead is money well spent.

Do I need flood insurance on Lake Sammamish?

Ask the lender and check the FEMA map for the parcel; lake levels and winter storms differ by lake, and low-bank lots can sit in a flood zone while high-bank lots on the same lake do not. The answer is parcel-specific, and the premium belongs in the offer math.

How does RexMont sell a Lake Sammamish waterfront home?

With the shoreline file prepared (dock and bulkhead permits, survey, moorage depth, the shoreline designation), photography from the water and the air, and pricing from the lake's own closings on this page rather than the city's. Adriano Tori, RexMont's designated broker, handles waterfront listings himself.

How this market works

What a Lake Sammamish waterfront home buyer is really buying

Lake Sammamish is seven miles of shoreline shared by four cities: the east shore in Sammamish along East Lake Sammamish Parkway, the west shore in Bellevue along West Lake Sammamish Parkway, the north end in Redmond at Idylwood, and the south end in Issaquah by the state park. It is warmer, quieter and more affordable than Lake Washington, with the same dock culture and a trail (the East Lake Sammamish Trail) that runs through many east-shore lots.

I handle Lake Sammamish listings myself. The file is the transaction: dock and bulkhead permits, the trail easement where it crosses the lot, the moorage depth (the lake rises in spring and drops in late summer), flood-zone status on the low-bank lots, and the shoreline designation. Lakefront prices against lakefront, and the twelve-month closings on this page are that set across all four cities.

Where to look

Lake Sammamish shorelines

East shore: Sammamish

East Lake Sammamish Parkway's lakefront from Inglewood to the Issaquah line, the largest stock on the lake; the trail easement is the first question on every lot.

West shore: Bellevue

West Lake Sammamish Parkway's sunrise-facing docks from Vuemont to the Issaquah line, Bellevue's second waterfront.

North end: Redmond and Idylwood

Idylwood's low-bank lots by the park and the Sammamish River outlet.

South end: Issaquah

The lots beside Lake Sammamish State Park and the Issaquah Creek delta, with Tiger Mountain behind.

The plateau's small lakes: Pine Lake and Beaver Lake

Sammamish's two non-motorized lakes above the big water: Pine Lake's village shoreline by the park, and Beaver Lake's three wooded lobes on acre lots. Two to four waterfront homes trade on each in a year; they are listed with the Lake Sammamish inventory below and on their neighborhood pages.

Phantom Lake, Bellevue

The non-motorized lake between Lake Hills and Weowna Park, a mile west of the big lake; its few waterfront homes list with Bellevue's.

Before you write

What to check before buying on Lake Sammamish

Dock and bulkhead permits

Every structure on the Lake Sammamish shoreline should match a permit: the dock, the lift, the bulkhead. Unpermitted work can be ordered removed; a legal dock can be repaired. RexMont pulls the file first.

Bulkhead condition

The bulkhead or the natural shoreline is the largest single cost on a waterfront lot. A marine contractor's inspection belongs in the contingency.

Water depth and moorage

Measure the depth at the dock at summer and winter levels; a lift or a larger boat needs depth the listing may not mention.

Shoreline setbacks

The city's shoreline master program sets how close new construction can come to the water. A remodel that stays in the footprint is easier than an addition toward the lake.

Flood map and insurance

Low-bank lots can sit in a FEMA flood zone while high-bank lots on the same lake do not. Check the parcel and price the premium.

Price from the lake's closings

Lake Sammamish waterfront prices against Lake Sammamish waterfront sales, high-bank against high-bank, low-bank against low-bank. The twelve-month data on this page is that set.
