First off is the public uses of the area make it popular. Drawing people from around the area for the trails, the zoo, Timberland Lake, etc. You also have the Golf Club at Newcastle. All this surrounded by higher priced real estate. Many of them have larger lots, larger homes, with incredible views of Bellevue, Seattle, and/or the Cascades everything done with great finish work. Combine all that with the easy access to Bellevue, Redmond, Issaquah, a nearly direct shot downtown via I - 90 into Seattle , then another easy access to the mountains for recreational activity. Then there is the easy access to the airport as well straight down 405. You have people from all places considering it as there next home. Cougar Mountain is just a prime spot to be with so many places to visit, views to be had, and easy shopping access.
Hope this has helped,
