The drone footage is great. Teacher, you are schooling us on the islands. I thank you for the lesson. God bless you guys.
You're chill, but articulate. Being a local girl on my way to moving back to Oahu, I appreciate that your descriptions are right on the mark. Love your videos bro. Keep up the good work!
Just started working in Oahu for an extended month, from AZ. Hawaii is life.
Welcome, Jason 🤙🏽 This island heat probably doesn’t bother you much, huh? Hope you enjoy your time here
You are very calm and friendly.
Mahalo for your kind feedback
@@movingtohawaii I'm homeless and I have been dealing with problems at work due to discrimination. I really hope I can meet yall I am coming from Massachusetts. Hopefully next spring
@@movingtohawaii I was laid off 2 businesses during the Covid virus
@@movingtohawaii no complaints about the weather year round but it's all about getting there and going back to college I like Biology and studying natural medicine.
@@movingtohawaii I consider myself Hapa I was adopted and I found out my birth mother was part Korean I don't know that much about South Korea but I can learn
If we continue watching your videos we going to buy 3 or 4 places lol …. All Hawaii is gorgeous! Peoples are fantastic ! You make wonderful work very professional we love your videos!
Jacky, let’s connect :)
Hey Derek, terrific videos, love them all. I have relatives in Wahiawa and Kahili, and your videos reminded me of the time I spent there with them.
Keep the videos coming. Definitely gonna hit you up when I’m planning on buying in Oahu
Eric let’s connect in the meantime
Mahalo!! Great summarize of all the great
places to live in Oahu. This helps us decide on where to find a place when we retire. Thank you!
Jolly hopefully we can connect :)
Love to you guys from HiKai!
Thank you for doing this 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🤙🏼
That's what we're here for. Comment any questions you have or feel free to reach out (contact info is in video description)
Thank you, Derek! I’m returning to the island and this time with my daughter! We are preparing to come back, and we enjoy watching your informational videos! When it's time to buy my forever home, we will surely get in touch with you!
Please do fill out our contact form on our website so we can best serve you 🤙
Mahalo Derek, very informative
Glad you enjoyed it
Hi from the UK! Kudos ! You really are chilled and knowledgeable 😊
Very informative, video
Wow, thank you! And mahalo for the sub 😁
Love Ewa! Great place to live..
Thanks for the Hawaii low-down! Well put together video and not depressing as many other UA-cam video's that I've watched on living in Hawaii! ! I am exploring the possibility of moving there but there are a lot of cons to be aware of! For me, it's a move to Hawaii, Florida, or back to San Diego real soon!! I live in Massachusetts right now and this State is the WORST! Anyways, I appreciated your video &:happy holidays! ;)
Thank you! Massachusetts is def not for me!! I would love to visit one day, but I would also be looking for warmer pastures 🤙🏽🤙🏽
Not looking to buy, but I enjoy learning about the Island😊 Mahalo!
Mahalo Danielle
LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!! SOO GLAD YOU TALK FAST AND GIVE TONS OF INFO !!! No you do Not appear Nervous… your dad is incorrect!
Mahalo for your kind feedback. My dad admits that I have gotten a lot better through doing these kind of videos lol
Love the videos man. Ive yet to come to Hawaii but gonna visit soon. Wheres the least rainy area of the island?
That’d be Ewa Beach and West..
Impressive video, Derek! You know your neighborhoods! -- Signed, former Kaiser Boy
Mahalo Steve!
Aloha and Mahalo 🤙
Thinking of renting for a year before buying in Mililani (wife will work at Queens hospital), have vacationed there a few times but want to really experience an extended time there first.🤙🏼
Kailua town and Kaka'ako sound like they'd be my best bet.
Aloha and Semper Paratus!
Love all your videos. You are so cool and laid back. Very likeable. I need to look back but have you done videos on living in places like Laie area and Waialua? Those are my favourite areas. I am going to buy once I retire here and move from O’ahu to Kau’ai to be with ohana. I am not a fan of Kapolei or Mililani because from what I have seen they both look so mainland. If I were to buy on O’ahu I think Waialua is where I would buy and live. Oh, I drove to Makakilo once and that was kinda cool. Waipio ain’t too bad but still kinda mainland-.ish. I was shocked to see the outlet center with Michael Kors etc (places I don’t shop at). I buy at Goodwill haha trying to save for my Kaua’i retirement home! Do a video on lesser known and less popular towns to live in. That would be interesting!
We have Waialua, Haleiwa, Mokuleia in the editing pipeline!
@@movingtohawaii oh I can’t wait! I go to Waialua and Mokuleia all the time!
im planing to move there on honolulu in mililani.. i hope to see you brah
Mililani area for me. All about cool weather.
As I commented on another one of your videos. I am an Aunty from the mainland. I grew up as a Native New Yorker all my life. No driver's license, no car! Where on Oahu would be the most Aunty friendly area that is Not assisted living but has amenities within walking distance or by The bus ?? Not really planning on actually moving there permanently just yet. I would want to just visit and vacation there a couple more times before even contemplating that kind of decision.
I know there are no 55+ communities with detached single homes on Oahu and I’m not looking for assisted-living but I was wondering if you could do a video about senior condos and town house developments in Oahu?
Wow, good to know. I had that in mind. Praying, and hopefully making a move to Oahu where my daughter lives. I was not aware there are no 55 Independent Living places. I'll keep searching 🙏
Maybe we'll be neighbors Susan 😊
I’m a city boy but also love the ocean so Kaka’ako sounds the best for me. Do you know any beach with really big waves near Kaka’ako though? Because Waikiki looks pretty flat.
Looking and caught you, I am glad to visit your video moving from New York, N.Y and want to move to Honolulu sometime ASAP looking around Prospects ST behind the hospital hope is a good area can't wait, what do you think !!!! Mahalo !!
Hi Antonio, I have lots to share about that location as well as downtown Honolulu in general. Give me a call and I’d be happy yo share!
808-202-9194 feel free to call or message me
Aloha Derek!! Thank you so much for taking time out for replying I really appreciate I will call you I don't know any one in Hawaii lots questions in regard to jobs, I do anything just to leave there, hopefully I get to speak you Mahalo@@movingtohawaii
Mililani Mauka 😍
Please explain the HOA costs of the condo buildings !!!!
Aloha
You lost me at Yacht and golf cart 😂😂
😂😂 it isn’t for everyone.
Hey brother, good video! I want to bring my family to small town on Oahu, we will rent a place for 5 years or so until we can afford a house. Where should we start town-wise if we want an inexpensive place in a family friendly community (we have four young sons) to live when we start out? I would start work as a laborer getting what work I can. God bless brother keep doing your thing
Very open ended so hard to answer Samuel. Will depend on budget and your definition of a good community etc. we do have someone on our team who helps with rental placement for a fee and may be able to help when the time comes.
I have no plans of moving to Oahu as I already have a vacation home in Maui, but I have family moving there soon as well as family already there. I just wanted to subscribe and like your videos because you're doing a great job with content (tell your dad too! Lol) and I love learning about housing there
Oh and I live here in San Francisco so waving hi from near your old bay area stomping grounds 🤙🤙🤙
About to move there next month. Is wahaiwa a good place?
10:26 Hello from Texas. I’m a nurse and coming over to do a travel contract in Kaneohe. Your videos are so informative. I am interested in a short term rental March 22, 2023 to July 31, 2023. Any help is appreciated.
We used to have a program that offered STR solutions, but discontinued it. Have you found anything yet or still looking?
@@movingtohawaii Thanks so much for responding! I found something for now near Waialae-Kahala area. I was literally about to check your videos for something about that area. Thank you for you and your teams efforts with your videos! Binge watching your videos has helped me with moving anxiety so much!! Like you’re really helpful! I think all travel nurses should watch your videos before the move.
Any recommendations on a rental agent?
im coming feb 10th need place 1500 mon by beach if can havent been home 20 years long story im happy to be home soon.
I really wanna move to Oahu, and because I really want a more country side/ view part I think Kailua or Kaneohe is ideal. However I really need to figure out where I’d be getting my income from. I’m only 18 and hopefully I can figure it out 🙏 pray for me😭
What about becoming a Mortgage Loan Originator? Great income potential. Look it up! I'm praying for you! Mortgage Educators has a good deal.
I will be praying for you 🙏
You are still very young. You can do it 👍
I just got an internship for this summer in Honolulu on a civil construction project. Any advice for me to get ready for the move?
Consume content about the area you'll be living in, culture, lifestyle, food, and things to do! Looks like you're already ahead of the pack.
Mahalo for the video. Very helpful. Wondering what your recommendation would be on where to live. I'm 64, single, and interested in a 2 to 3-bedroom home with a 2-car garage, mountain or ocean view (higher elevation not at the beach), a half acre to one acre of land would be desirable but not a must-have. Weather-wise, I would prefer a drier climate with some rain. I would imagine I could afford a home in the upper $900K to $1.2mil if I continue to work. I actually thought about Millilani or Waianae. Hawaii Kai would be ideal but not sure if that is affordable. Being close to a Costco would be a plus! Mahalo for any suggestions. BTW: Your videos come across as very knowledgable, casual, and friendly.
Aloha, Robert.
Sounds like Makakilo might fit the bill! High elevation with ocean views, close to a Costco, lots of 2-3 bedroom single family homes with garage & covered parking (lots of street parking as well), on the west side of Oahu so generally drier - especially with the winds you get from being elevated on the side of the mountain, with occasional rain (again, that you get with elevation).
Feel free to fill out the contact form on our website so we can really dial in on your interests!
Here’s a recent video where we visit Makakilo: LOWEST & HIGHEST Home Prices On The Market - KAPOLEI & MAKAKILO

Tell dad you did a great job conveying who you are into a UA-cam personality. Sometimes people who know you in real life forget you have to add some pizzazz to entertain a world of strangers
I am going to be working for poli moli in Aiea what do you recommend
I grew up running around that hospital!! My step mom was a nurse in ICU. Depends what you’re looking for. Let’s set up a time to chat
@@movingtohawaii I did text the number above no response yet
unless you have family to help you, forget it, traffic is out of hand and rents are really out of touch. If you plan to ship your car get ready for a shock.
Hey brother, I just got a position at Queen’s medical center. I’m coming from the mainland, where would be the best place I should livev
I used to work at Queen’s. Parking = rough. What is your position there? Really depends on so much… Check out my website in the description and let’s connect.
highly intelligent and humorous presentation with beautiful video !! As one whose family moved to Hawaii in 1954 and graduated from Punahou in the 60’s ,the Hawaii i encountered as a child was one mired in racism and socio-economic stagnation. It was s high stratified society grounded in agribusiness in which one was either wealthy and white or poor and dark The non whites lived in such poorer communities such as Kalihi Waianae or Kaimuki or Waipahu While such more scenic neighbors as Kahala Diamond Head and Manoa etc were exclusively while Hawaii was We were part of a fledging very modestly sized middle class composed of a few caucasian and many more Asian businessman This middle class because the foundation for the game changing and historic transition from agriculture to a service based economy grounded in tourism & military .This economic change was both facilitated and the result in part of the demise of the caucasian dominated political elite embodied in the local GOP which was replace by a predominantly asian Democratic Party . The face of Hawaii has changed profoundly since 1954 and if their is two word s that characterizes those myriad of changes it would be gentrification and
westernization!!!!
perfect example. punahou in my day due to the high tuition and racist admission policies was about 70 percent caucasian and 30 percent and nonwhite ( mostly asian) it is now practically the reverse!!!
By the way. a knowledge of the socio economic history of the islands would provide a greater understanding of Kalihi Valley it was originally. home to predominantly poor Japanese plantations workers who were replaced by Filipinos and Samoans as the Japanese cashed in on the new service based economy and fled to the suburbs …..same dynamic in Waipahu and early Ewa Now gentrification is rearing its head as investors want to capitalize on the demand for home in natural beautiful areas!! in conclusion Hawaii has morphed or evolved from
an exclusively white agrarian based aristocracy to a multiethnic population whose affluences and westernization culturally (despite remnants of the “local” culture !! ).has increased dramatically over the decades Pidgin and many local attributes culturally. is now a choice.
not a cultural norm !!!
Hi Derek I messaged.
Phone or email?
every plaqce he's talking about is very expensive, parking is out of sight. You can jump on the freeway, then sit there and crawl along.
My wife and I currently live in Honolulu in Red Hill area. We're currently looking for a house to buy and was thinking of Ewa. Any chance you could help us out?
Aloha Gary. Definitely. Can you register on our website in the description so we can set up a call?
@@movingtohawaii absolutely! I'll go register now!
How dis haole!!!
Oh, t’anks ah! 🤙🏽
Ko’olina or Hawaii Kai would be ideal after I sell my kidney 😂
what areas is dangerous like gang activity
bring wheelbarrows of money, it's really out of reach for almost everybody.
aloha bro, u.s.islands , u.s. guam, u.s. virgin islands .... u.s. state side friendly university of california san diego & california state university stanislaus....
Caladesi Island, Florida. Live in Dunedin😎!
I would like to find something affordable. My son lives in Ewa beach in Ocean Point. Across from the newer fire station and park that you have shown on other videos. I have been there 8 times about 21 days average. I haven't been there for three years and don't want to go back if I have show proof of vacation. How can you give up your rights to the collectives and communists.
John, I understand where you are coming from. When I went to Tennessee in July and then came back to all the HAWAII rules and my son having to quarantine, I hated it. My saving grace is that HAWAII is coming from a little different angle than say Berkeley, CA (I used to live right there) on these issues and it’s more of a communal respectful thing.
Reach out to us though, John, if you’d like to discuss the market and receive updates.
At 4:45 "Get a home that can support my husband and I..." It should be support my husband and ME. It supports ME, not supports I. You're welcome. (Just trying to improve English grammar one person at a time.)
No thank you
@@movingtohawaii That's a shame. When communicating with the public it helps inspire confidence when you display competence. At least you're polite. Aloha
@@TolKOZAK I cringe on their vs they’re vs there and you’re vs your… so I won’t stand on a hill and dismiss the correction. Mahalo :)
My videos are just me sharing opinions, imperfections and all. So, I am completely satisfied and content with any grammatical errors. I can be more articulate and eloquent at times but this is just Derek flowing 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏼🤙🏼
@@movingtohawaii Please allow me to explain. As a child in grade school, people made fun of my English. As an immigrant in Montreal I could not speak English until I was 7. It became my 4th language. I vowed to speak properly and even became a teacher. It is the retired teacher in me that cringes at poor grammar from native born speakers. When I point out errors it is to help, not criticize. Thank you for your thoughtful reply. Mahalo. My wife and I have visited Oahu 6 times and love it. WE WISH we could live there.
@@do3jah "Tour welcome" is not correct. You can thank me later. Remember, you're never too old to learn.
How can you encourage more people to buy up the land ,not even Kanaka can afford to live. Oo I know.the money. Maybe all the money you Brookers make you could build houses for the less fourtunate .maybe you guys can get a tax break
aloha, relocating on fixed income such as social security and medicare, supplemented by pensions . u.s. FDR generation ...cost-of -living now and then, what should we expect? should include personal investments offset living-off-grid too senior friendly community, such as investing in both hawaii state taxfree & federal taxfree investments for income and benefit of municipal development and community?
