Kailua, the largest community on the Windward side,
is Oahu’s windsurfing capital, and Kailua Beach is one of the world’s
most beautiful shorelines. It is home to lovely, moderately priced
neighborhoods with excellent restaurants, parks, libraries, schools,
shopping centers and a pleasant downtown.
The Pali and Likelike Highways make for easy commuting to the Honolulu side of the island.
You know you’re in Lanikai when you see Moku Nui and
Moku Iki, the two beautiful islands that are the idyllic landmarks of
this affluent community. In 1924, the first neighborhood developers gave
this prime beachfront property its name, which means “sea heaven.”
The homey, shoes-off comfort of Waimanalo can be
attributed to the fact that it has the largest native Hawaiian
population in Windward Oahu. Homes, townhomes, duplexes, condos,
apartments, and rent-to-owns are all quite affordable. Lacy ironwood
trees shade the white sands of Waimanalo Beach, with the natural beauty
of the Koolau Mountains forming a breathtaking backdrop.
