I’m from Nebraska and we come to Hawaii every year. We stay on the East side if the island in the Waimanalo area and are soooo drawn to Kailua. It feels like home. 🤙🏽
Was stationed at Schofield Barracks 2014 and left in 2017. Were coming back this month for a second tour and we have been watching all of your videos over the last couple months. Been a huge help!
Now that I have been here for almost 2 years, I know EXACTLY where I will move to in the spring. There is only ONE place that feels like home. And I am not going to mention it. I love going to the beach there and being almost the only person there every weekend. I would NEVER live in Kailua or town, that is one thing I know. And of course, if I am in position to buy I will use Derek or Mahe, without a doubt.
When I was 13 I was able to go to Hawaii and live with my mom's adoptive family for the whole summer. One day I said "hey I'm gonna go down to town and get some candy" they looked at me crazy and said "town? That's way far away" then I said "oh, I thought it was down the street" and me being from the mainland they said "oh no, town here is Honolulu!" Haha something I'll always remember. This was in Kahuku. Gonna try to go back and visit within the next few years.
Currently living in Mililani Town. My work puts me all over the entire island so I get to observe/see all parts of it, and the only other place I would choose to live would still be Mililani, but up in Mauka. Such a good community.
Good knowledge! I need to find the first video I saw in the Living on Hawaii channel, because I thought it was so-so, and thought I wouldn't enjoy your other videos. I was recommend more of your videos and you're a mainlander whisperer. You explain things so well. When you drop knowledge about the relationship of Oakland and Piedmont, Bay Area people watching your videos researching/dreaming about making the move out of California are perking up their ears.
I never ever thought about where town start and stopped. It was always Honolulu and the airport was town and everything else was everything else. Grew up in Pearl City and than Kunia before my family and I moved to the states. Pearl Ridge shopping Center was the best. Being an 80s child, I have fond memories of The Fernandez Fun Factory and stores like Daiei.
I love Hawaii. 1. I was in Honolulu, 1970 to 1972, Mid-Pacific and Punahou. 4 years in Washington. 1976 to 2002, Vancouver BC. 2002 to 2015, Houston, Tx. 2016 to new Vancouver. I am planning to travel the world. 1: 2024❤😊... Oaho, Molokai, and Big Island, Hawaii ; 2. 2023 Europe, Rome, Greece, Jerusalem and India. 3. 2024 Malaysia(Penang), Vietnam, and Philippines. 4.2025 Australia and New Zealand..
I'm 75 born and raised in Wahiawa now living in Northern California. To me and my friends going to town was the area around Fort St and the commercial areas. We would take the bus to town to shop on Fort St. Now I wouldn't use that same description. I would have no idea where town starts and stops sadly. Will always regret moving to the mainland and leaving Wahiawa
I fell in love with Cook Street there was a gym a job a basketball park and a beach park all within walking distance also a big fan of spray paint also Kona brewing is on that street
Your team should think about productizing the move to Hawaii. I wonder if people would pay some set fee per month to get help with the move. Could be a good service. You could create a couple packages like early stage kicking the tires to hey I bought and need more hands on help.
Aloha bro! previous resident of pearl city, municipal investing for both state & federal taxfree funds for islands. commuity, schools, college, university is a must. living on mainland now and hawaiian & pacific islanders most visible at university california san diego, california university stanislaus, near me islanders are at california state channel islands, university california santa barbara, and cal poly san luis obispo, too! Aloha!
It's hard to imagine anyone, other than .5% of all people who live in the United States, can warrant living in a sub-par built home, single wall construction, louvered windows, lack of square footage, or a home lacking of the qualities for your money that you can get elsewhere. $1.2 + million dollar homes that would be worth $300-$400,000 elsewhere? My heart goes out to younger families that cannot experience a better quality of life there in Hawaii. My heart goes out to the locals as well! I lived there for 12 years. There needs to be a serious correction in the housing market there in Hawaii. This includes ALL the islands. There's no way to justify any of these prices for the quality you get. Yes, Hawaii does offer paradise living, but how much do the residence currently there sacrifice for it? Not worth it! Living in a condo the answer? How about high HOA's and leasehold prices you have to contend with? I owned a condo so I speak from experience.
The locals and us native islanders have been and will be forced out of our islands eventually! Priced out by rich developers and foreigners who have no rights to any of the land! A little history lesson on how natives had our land stolen by the government! Pretty sad!
Your being generous when comparing properties.... Some of the homes here that sell for 1.2million would sell for 40-60k in the midwest, and that's being generous.
@@FpSNet well back in the 70s when I was born my parents bought their house in Kona for 30k their house sold for 1.6 million a few years ago that’s insane!
Hey Aloha bro. Just wondering about that black ring that your wearing. What brand is that? And where did you purchase that and how much? Is that the silicone one?
Remember, these videos are only the OPINION of one or two individuals. Don't assume that they actually know what they are talking about. They present many opinions as if they are fact.
Ok let's get this straight. I'm Born&Raise downtown Kalihi. All I know is Town(Honolulu).. Town is Kalihi to Waikiki ,kapahulu/kaimuki and everywhere in between. I can break it down fo yall jus hit me up, I'm the best tour guide for TownSide Honolulu. And Although salt lake and kahala/hawaii kai got Honolulu on there mailing address they ain't town. Facts. Salt Lake is aliamanu there more pearl city then Honolulu and kahala /hawaii kai is kahala and hawaii kai.
So I live in New EWA BEACH…(not the older housing) and I think EWA is the best side. The new Hasseko and Ocean Pointe homes look BETTER than Kapolei and old Ewa over by that run down high school. I try to not go past Pappi Road because there’s hella homeless over there. EWA BEACH (the new parts) feel the safest to me and the homes are NEW!!!!! Plus you are literally right by Wai Kai surf center and a short drive to the nice little mall Ka Makana. Ala Moana is still the BEST mall downtown. To anyone who’s never been to Oahu 🚫AVOID anything over by School street and the LikeLike highway, called the “Kam 4” projects 🚫 it’s the “hood” 😂 filled with fake Bloods and Crips who think they are hard 😂 fughazi Gangstas throwing off the island vibe
amazing that people feel the need to live indoors in big houses instead of being close to nature and the elements of the most beautiful place on earth. The style of the houses, the foul housing subdivisions are so inappropriate. Jesus. No wonder Hawaii is such an ecological disaster. People just want to turn it into Los Angeles in the tropics. how disgusting
Me and my little sister Emma moved from Hollywood Hills Los Angeles California to Honolulu waikiki in a gated community 19 min from waikiki Beach best decision I made my other sisters still living back in Hollywood Hills Los Angeles California with mom and dad

Kailua and Haoles goes hand in hand.
@@2endsformacircle762 I was gonna say the same thing! There is a reason Jessie Thomas feels at home there.

Just moved here this week from Maui and am enjoying and appreciating the wonderful differences!
Oahu has it all🤙🏼
A MUST WATCH for anyone looking to move to Oahu. Well done.

Loved how you put up the map with the mention of a neighborhood. Thank you!

That’s where I live. Kinda boring and rainy in the winter, but if that’s the worst thing you can say about a place..
This was such a great video to really understand Oahu. Thanks Derek❤

Thank you. Yea we eat feedback for breakfast so the one that was so-so, pls let us know. We went to learn what people like and don’t like

It’s don Quijote now lol but after Covid it’s the only store open 24 hrs

Starting at Queens in a few weeks. Moving to Hawaiʻi next Saturday. So excited.
@@brandonmoskos9149 used to work there. What will you be doing?
@@movingtohawaii Anesthesia. Coming from Michigan. How was your experience there?
@moving to Hawaii I think its so funny (in a very good way) that you know so much about the Bay Area!
Hella!! 😂😂
As a foreigner I saw ewa as an introductory to locals it's a way from Waikiki it seems like a lot of families are over there
I'm 75 born and raised in Wahiawa now living in Northern California. To me and my friends going to town was the area around Fort St and the commercial areas.

look up Montauk NY, combination of fishing/boaters/surfing town!! Coolest place on the east coast.
I absolutely loved it on this island. Love to come back some day.
Will be going to Honolulu in March and we’re looking forward to the experience
I fell in love with Cook Street there was a gym a job a basketball park and a beach park all within walking distance also a big fan of spray paint also Kona brewing is on that street
What kind of camera do you use for your side shots?
Your team should think about productizing the move to Hawaii. I wonder if people would pay some set fee per month to get help with the move. Could be a good service. You could create a couple packages like early stage kicking the tires to hey I bought and need more hands on help.
Will maunaloa erupting have any effect on Oahu?
Moving January 1st... Renting until we find something.
None really. We get VOG depending on the winds but no real affect. Hit us up we’d love to help as you look for something to buy.
Oahu is not the same for me. I lived in west Honolulu (Keehi Lagoon area) from 1932 until 1953. It was all countryside back then except for Honolulu.
You were born in 1932???
Growing up in Palolo, I never looked as Palolo as "town", Kaimuki, maybe, but town was always Waikiki
EXCELLENT!
11:04 As someone who recently moved to Oahu in Kuli'ou'ou, this made my day. 😂
Right on! Mahalo for watching from Hawaii K.. Kuliouou 🤙
Could you please make a video about the Cottages at Mauna Olu?
Mahalo
Oahu has the nickname of the "gathering place" for a reason 😃🤙
We Don't call it that we call it "Home"
So for me, east of Tripler and west of Kahala is “town”. As soon as the H1 lanes narrow, that’s it for me.😂
Good stuff

Your assessments are accurate, but I must admit - it’s beautiful !
Excuse me Sir/Madam
Are you saved?
If you died tonight are you going to heaven?
Jesus loves you
