My Favorite Honolulu Neighborhoods: Mariners Valley, in the Hawaii Kai Region

 

Mariners Valley is one of the largest neighborhoods in Hawaii Kai with over 650 homes. Most homes in this area were built in the 1970′s, but since the area is relatively flat, most homes do not feature much in the way of views or waterfront. As a result, prices are moderate in this area.

Homes range in size from 1,300 to 3,000 square feet, with lots ranging from roughly 5,000 to 10,00 square feet in size.

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

Tuesday, February 21st, 2012

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

 

The Koko Kai neighborhood is located close to the tip of Koko Head, just around the corner from Hanauma Bay. The area basically rises on the slopes of Koko Head above Portlock Road. With views overlooking Maunalua Bay to Diamond Head, many consider this one of the loveliest neighborhoods and best views on the island.

Most of the 190 homes were custom built in the 1970′s, but many have been extensively remodeled and upgraded. Featuring mostly upscale homes, sizes can average 3,000 square feet and lot sizes range from 11,000 to 30,000 square feet. Closeby you’ll find the Koko Kai Beach Park, a popular place for local residents.

There is no question that what these homes are known most for is their view. Almost every home in the area has a view that allows one to see the beautiful mountains and ocean all from one window. High prices here not only reflect the high quality of homes in this area, but some of the best views on the island and close proximity to the ocean.

My Favorite Honolulu Neighborhoods: Kamiloiki, in the Hawaii Kai Region of Honolulu

Friday, February 17th, 2012

My Favorite Honolulu Neighborhoods: Kamiloiki, in the Hawaii Kai Region of Honolulu

 

Located at the top of Lunalilo Home Road and behind Koko Crater, Kamiloiki offers amazing views. Most homes were built in the 1980′s and 1990′s, with the average home consisting of three bedrooms, two baths and a two-car garage. The terrain here is hilly. Technically there are two sections to this area, Kamiloiki Estates and Kamiloiki Heights.

Kamiloiki Estates consists of 78 smaller houses roughly 1,400 square feet in size, located at the mauka, or mountain end of Lunalilo Home Road. Most of these homes were built in the late 1970′s and early 1980′s. Since these homes are smaller and do not have ocean views, prices are moderate, comparatively speaking.

Kamiloiki Heights is the area where the Estates area ends and Lunalilo Home Road makes a “U” turn. Homes here, at the base of the mountain, form the head of Mariner’s Valley. Most of the 86 homes here were built in the early to mid 1990′s and range in size from 1,200 to 1,900 square feet. Many homes here have excellent open views of Koko Crater overlooking Mariner’s Valley.

This area used to be farmed for sweet potatoes and Milo trees, hence “milo” in the anme Kamiloiki. The wood from the Milo tree is sometimes used in Hawaiian artwork.
