Sammamish/East Lake Hills

One of Bellevue's older, established residential areas, East Lake Hills enjoys an extensive open space and parks system built around unique natural assets, including Weowna Park with its old-growth forest, and Phantom Lake with its connections to Larsen Lake and the Lake Hills Greenbelt.

To the east, upscale residential areas with expensive homes flank the western shore of Lake Sammamish.  The city annexed much of this area just recently – in 2001. Upland neighborhoods to the west include Spiritridge, Phantom Lake and part of Lake Hills.  The eastern and western halves of Lake Hills are divided by 156th Avenue. West Lake Sammamish Parkway is the other major north-south route providing access to local residents.
