What can anyone tell me about living in Givat Shmuel? We are a Modern Orthodox family with 4 children. All information about any aspect of living there is welcome!

OP here. No one knows anything about Givat Shmuel? Does that mean that it's not a city where olim live (in general)? What's the reputation? I would really like to hear anything anyone knows about it.

Don't take the lack of responses here as an indication that there are no olim or English speakers in Givat Shmuel. I do think though that it doesn't draw the same numbers of new olim as other communities, for a variety of reasons, and might therefore lack that 'flavor' that other communities that attract more Anglos may have.
As far as its reputation - AFAIK it has a very solid, very middle class, middle of the road DL community consisting mainly of professionals and academics. It is considered a very desirable place to live due to its convenient location and socio-economic composition and housing prices are in accordance.

I don't know much about it. Spent one shabbat there several years back. Was very impressed with the central park there. It's a huge expanse of green in the middle of all the buildings, and it was lovely seeing all the families gathered there on shabbat.
They also have a nice little neighbourhood mall.

As etky said, mainstream DL, well-educated, career-oriented, etc.
