Hawaii Kai Homes for Sale

Hawaii Kai was originally designed as the first community in the state and is typically a bedroom community.  Being an upscale neighborhood, it houses around 30,000 residents and features a tranquil ambiance too. 

Hawaii Kai is a unique community as it is the only one, which can have a boat dock along with the home itself.  You might have a misconception that there would be several communities designed like this, but the truth is, it's the only community with this feature. For this reason, properties here command a more expensive price tag. It is essentially an upscale community – even the average prices here are also higher as compared to other places in Hawaii.

There are many homes, which are built with their own marina lot – a real treat for any boat enthusiast.  The marina allows overlooking sights from almost any restaurant you can find in town.  

Other fabulous waterfront homes have their own dock.  These types of properties can be found in Kuapa Isle, The Peninsula, Spinnaker Isle, West Marina and Anchorage areas. Real estate properties with its own marina lot usually have a price tag of $600k for a townhouse, while bigger homes can easily set you back around $5 million. There are also several beachfront and oceanfront properties in the area.

Besides its upscale waterfront estates, it is also well known for its hillside homes, which feature picturesque ocean and marina views.  Other similar places include Kamiloiki, Na Pali Haweo, Mariner’s Ridge, Hahaione Valley and Kamehame Ridge.  However, some real estate properties in this area may charge you an additional $100k just to get a photographic view of the ocean. 

Great selections of properties are also available just along the street from Sandy Beach.  There are homes in Laulima and Queens Gate, which are in close proximity to premier golf courses – these properties have a true essence of luxury.  You get the best of both worlds here – the spectacular views of the ocean, as well as the luxurious ambiance of a golf course neighborhood. A few kilometers beyond this area will take you to the Kalama Valley – a tranquil neighborhood despite having around a thousand homes. 

On the average, real estate properties here can have a price tag of around $850,000.  Condominiums are no exceptions as well, with commanding prices starting at $400,000.  In my opinion, these types of homes are truly worth it once you consider the tranquility and type of ambiance that this neighborhood has to offer.  Here, outdoor living is simply astonishing.  You will usually wake up catching a glimpse of the morning sun, and notice groups of people heading off to the beach for water sport activities such as kayaking and surfing.

 Hawaii Kai Schools

Hawaii Kai is home to Hawaii’s most respected schools, including Kamiloiki and Koko Head Elementary, both of which have been performing exceptionally well and have maintained their top position in the school rankings.  Located near Honolulu, Kahala Elementary is also one of the most reputable schools in all of Hawaii. The schools in this part of Hawaii generally have exceptional parental support, which is one of the reasons why it has been able to provide quality education through the years. 

Amenities & Recreation in Hawaii Kai

Hawaii Kai features three premier shopping centers; these are The Safeway Center, The Hawaii Kai Towne Center and The Koko Marina Center.  Many well-known establishments such as Starbucks, Costco, Jamba Juice, City Mill, Panda Express, Common Groundz, Kona Brewing Company Longs, Panda Express, The Shack and Blue Water Grill also thrive in this area of Hawaii. I particularly enjoy hanging out at Common Groundz – a place where you can relax and enjoy a cup of great-tasting coffee while you sit at the marina. 

Hiking enthusiasts will have a great time here, particularly in the lighthouse and Makapuu Point. You might be thrilled to know that it is home to some of Oahu’s captivating landscapes.  Water-sport activities are also something you shouldn’t miss here.  You can find great water skiing spots in the Hawaii Kai Marina, as well as commercial boat rentals, which offer either a dive or ski boat at any time of day.

Hawaii Kai is a place for adventure – it will definitely take your for the ride of your life whether you are a local or a tourist. A very popular snorkeling area on the southern side of Oahu is the Hanauma Bay.  More snorkelers flock this area as compared to other beaches in Hawaii.  And because it is well preserved and protected, Hanauma Bay is literally teeming with a colorful range of fishes and other marine life. 

Body surfing is also a center of attraction here.  The Halona Blowhole in Sandy Beach (also known as “break necks”) offers top-notch body surfing activities, with powerful waves greeting every surfer.  The waves are so great that it quite common for injuries to occur.  Remember, never underestimate the waves here – they can be really that intense. 

Hawaii Kai is also the only exclusive area in Oahu where you can enjoy riding a jet ski and water ski within protected waters such as the Maunalua Bay.
