The area is just breathtaking. Everywhere I look there is beautiful landscaping, hills, lakes, mountains, trees, lots of bikers and pedestrians. I love how active the community is. Creates a sense of community as a whole. I also have been welcomed several times by locals as I just moved here. That means so much to me!
I have been a Sammamish resident for 15 years. Generally a very safe area (super family friendly), a bunch of stores nearby, relatively good public schools. Housing prices may be expensive and crime rates may be increasing, so if you are planning on moving here, I suggest you take precautions to make your house safer. Surrounded by lots of nature/trees; doesn't give off a "sketchy" vibe. Several public bus stops along 228th Avenue NE; most main streets have sidewalks. There may be traffic around schools during opening & closing hours, but other than that, the roads are mostly clear. Most people I've met appear to be liberal, which is not surprising, as WA is a blue state. Definitely more residential than recreational.
Sammamish is a gorgeous, safe, diverse place to live with the kindest people! The schools aren't the best, but they're good enough with wonderful teachers.
