My Favorite Honolulu Neighborhoods: Koko Head Terrace, in the Hawaii Kai Region

Kalama Valley is located in the eastern portion of Hawaii Kai and is actually a rather distinct geographic area. Uphill from Sandy Beach, you can access this area via Kealahou Street, or from the other, lower side, over the ridge of Koko Head Crater. Along the way, you’ll pass Queens Gate, a gated golf course community. Kalama Valley narrows in the cliffs which rise above the area of Waimanalo on the windward shore.

Kalama Valley homes were primarily constructed in the 1970′s and into the 1980′s. Located in the valley is a small shopping center and park. Closeby, you’ll find Sandy Beach, a popular surfing and swimming beach.

My Favorite Honolulu Neighborhoods: Anchorage, in the Hawaii Kai Region

Anchorage, a waterfront community in Hawaii Kail was built in the 1980s. Of the roughly 108 homes located here, most all of them border the water. Most of the homes are large, from roughly 2,100 square feet to more than 4,000 square feet and were built on large 7,000 to 10,000 square foot lots, leaving plenty of room for pools and large lanais.

Most of these marina front homes have a private dock, so boat owners can enjoy easy access to the inner bay and canals as well as to the ocean.

My Favorite Honolulu Neighborhoods: The Wailupe Area, in the Diamond Head Region of Honolulu

The Wailupe Area neighborhood is located between the Waialae and Aina Haina neighborhoods along Kalanianaole Highway. Most homes here are roughly 2,000 square feet in size or larger and most lot sizes exceed 10,000 square feet. Oceanfront homes along the edge of the Wailupe Peninsula often feature larger lots up to 19,000 square feet in size. Of course, interior homes are less expensive but are still a short, easy walk to the beach.

Residents of Wailupe enjoy fish and surfing. Coral reefs create good surf spots offshore and the reefs also help keep the waters calm along the beach. Wailupe Beach Park is right next door, adjacent to the Wailupe Peninsula.

My Favorite Honolulu Neighborhoods: Waialae Iki, in the Diamond Head Region

Located above the Waialae Country Club is the ridgeline neighborhood of Waialae Iki. With over 1,000 homes, all mostly upscale and with amazing views of the ocean, Diamond Head and Koko Head.

Believe it or not, in times past, this area was originally planted in pineapple. Originally developed in 1965, 8,000 to 30,000 square foot lots were sold. Today, of course, the neighborhood has matured and in addition to the original subdivision, you’ll find the gated community of Waialae Iki 5 at the very top of the ridge.

My Favorite Honolulu Neighborhoods:  Pacific Heights

The Pacific Heights neighborhood is perfectly perched above downtown Honolulu and is an interesting mix of old and new homes, many with ocean and harbor views. Overlooking Punchbowl crater and downtown Honolulu, the average elevation is roughly 400 feet. This is another popular area since it’s such an easy commute to and from work downtown.

My Favorite Honolulu Neighborhoods: Diamond Head

Diamond Head offers a great location, close enough to downtown Honolulu and adjacent Waikiki, as well an easy drive to other areas of east Oahu such as Kahala and Hawaii Kai. Diamond Head is called home by some of Oahu’s wealthiest, including affluent retired and senior corporate executives. The neighborhood offers fine dining, private clubs and luxury homes, many with spectacular ocean and Diamond Head views. A quiet neighborhood, the weather is especially desirable to some as it does not rain as much in this area.

The Gold Coast, next to Waikiki Beach and across from Kapiolani Park, offers some of Oahu’s finest ocean front condos, while the slopes of the crater offer single family homes, many with panoramic views.

View Homes can command top prices in this neighborhood with ocean view and ocean front homes being in the top premium price range and neighborhood selection for those looking for nothing but the best.
