Kailua

• Town in Hawaii
• 94 reviews

Current Resident: Kailua is a beautiful area with lots of kind hearted people eager to spread some aloha around. There are great local restaurants and major food chains are also easy to find. One thing that I would change (and I honestly think everyone that lives here would) is the increasing infringement of industrialization from big companies and orgs like Target and A&B. Besides that, many people find life in Kailua to be pleasant, as one of the places in Hawai’i that gives off the most “paradise” vibes on the whole island.

Mililani

• Town in Hawaii
• 67 reviews

Current Resident: The community is great and it's so clean. I recently moved here a few months ago, and I've had no complaints since. This town has the essentials, so you don't need to travel any place far to get what you need. What I like most about it, is the countless places to eat. They also recently renovated the movies!

Waimalu

• Town in Hawaii
• 1 review

Current Resident: Very little crime in this town, everyone is closely knit and know each other. I have always felt safe in this town, and everything runs smoothly without much issues. The schools are not so great because they are public schools, and waimalu is a little bit on the poorer side.

Pearl City

• Town in Hawaii
• 64 reviews

Current Resident: Pearl City is a very convenient area of Oahu to live in. It's central to just about everywhere on the island. 15-20 minutes to Waikiki, 30 minutes to Waianae or the North Shore - it's perfect! There's also an abundance of grocery stores and restaurants. Don't miss the Saturday Farmer's Market at Pearlridge! The only downfall in this area is the Kam Highway traffic. It gets really congested during the lunch and rush hours.

Kapolei

• Town in Hawaii
• 105 reviews

Nearby Resident: Kapolei is a great town! There are nice neighborhoods and schools. Here on O'ahu, Kapolei is referred to by locals as our 2nd "town" or the 2nd Honolulu. In addition, there's the mall Ka Makana Ali'i and a few more shopping centers all within decent distance. I am a nearby resident and I go to Kapolei all the time whether it be to go to the mall or to go to eat out with family and friends. You can get almost anything you need in Kapolei.

Kahalu'u

• Town in Hawaii
• 5 reviews

Current Resident: Kaneohe, Kailua and Kahalu'u is located on the windward side of Oahu, where there isn't much development. Many consider the windward side as "God's Country". It is green and lush and view is breath taking. People are friendlier, there is a major shopping Mall, the first starbuck's drive through on the island, median homes are a bit expensive here but you have better established neighbors. Median is between $800,000 and $900,000 in Kaneohe. Kailua is a bit more expensive. Kailua Beach is always rated as one of the best beaches in the world.

Waipahu

• Town in Hawaii
• 70 reviews

Current Resident: Growing up in Waipahu was great! There were easy access to grocery stores, restaurants, and parks. The best part about growing up in Waipahu was my nextdoor neighbors. We grew up together which made my childhood so memorable. We had numerous sleepovers, dinners, and outdoor activities planned. However, I encountered two experiences that made the neighborhood seem unsafe. I was in the house when an intruder broke in. I could hear the the intruder open drawers, rummage through draws, and walk throughout the house. I was traumatized for months. I continuously thought that someone was breaking into our house. A couple weeks ago, a stranger went through my car that was parked in my driveway. I forgot to lock my car that night, and a intruder went through my compartments, took my sunglasses, and took my loose change. I thought that I lived in a very safe community, but the incidences that I encountered made me rethink the safety of my neighborhood.
