Waikiki Real Estate

While it packs a wallop when it comes to fame and glamour, Waikiki is only a smidge over one mile in size. Waikiki is perfect for the Hawaii resident that wants to be close to the action – within walking distance to some of the finest dining and eclectic shopping in the state. Once a vacation playground for Hawaiian royalty, Waikiki was originally swampland that was turned into taro plantations. At that time, Waikiki’s borders spread as far as Manoa Valley and, as early as 1450, it was named the seat of Oahu’s government. In the 1700s, the Big Island’s King Kamehameha The Great and his army landed their canoes on Waikiki Beach, overpowering Oahu Chief Kalanikupule’s army, eventually driving them further inland and over the Pali cliffs. Today, the biggest battle on Waikiki beach is for the perfect spot under the tropical sun, amid Oahu’s over 6 million annual visitors.

When and if you tire of the beach, take a hike on the slopes of iconic Diamond Head and eat, drink and dance in Waikiki’s world-class nightlife hot spots. If you plan on purchasing Waikiki real estate you’ll be joining over 19,400 other residents of this sparkling community on the Pacific. The average age of the Waikiki resident is 40, there are slightly more men than women, and most residents are single. Waikiki’s keikis attend Waikiki or Liholiho Elementary School, Washington or Kaimuki Middle School and Kaimuki or Kalani High School. When you purchase Waikiki Real Estate you have a number of choices, from a highrise condo on the ocean to more quaint abodes tucked into side streets throughout the community. Median list prices typically range from $899,000 to several million but a thorough search may net you a cute little Waikiki condo in the $200,000 range.
