About the community

Living in Hawaii Kai

Hawaii Kai was the master-planned dream of industrialist Henry J. Kaiser, who set out to create a completely new Oahu district where little existed before. It was designed to be self-sustaining, with its own shopping, schools and healthcare, and a layout that flows from mauka (mountain) to makai (ocean).

Marina and ocean recreation

Sailing, water skiing, kayaking and paddling on the marina and in Maunalua Bay, plus Hanauma Bay just up the hill, with free admission for kama'aina.

Hikes, golf and parks

The Koko Head hike rewards you with sweeping views. Hawaii Kai Golf Course has both a par-3 course and a championship course, and Koko Head District Park offers courts and classes.

Shopping and dining

Koko Marina Center has dozens of shops and restaurants and a movie theater. Hawaii Kai Shopping Center has Safeway and Longs, and Hawaii Kai Towne Center has Costco and City Mill.

Schools and healthcare

Kamiloiki, Koko Head and Haha'ione elementary schools, Niu Valley Middle School and Kaiser High School serve the area, and Straub, Queen's and Kaiser all have clinics here.

Are Hawaii Kai homes fee simple or leasehold?

Nearly all are fee simple. On October 20, 2026, just 1 of about 150 Hawaii Kai listings on our MLS search was leasehold, a condo. With leasehold, you own the home or unit but lease the land under it for a set term. A 2025 state DBEDT report notes that land rents often surged when leases were renegotiated, and an unrenewed lease could mean losing access to the land and the structure.

Which public schools serve Hawaii Kai?

Kaiser High School, on Lunalilo Home Road, is in the Hawaii Department of Education's Farrington-Kaiser-Kalani Complex Area. Use the HIDOE SchoolSite Locator to see the schools that serve a specific address. HIDOE says the locator shows general service areas for reference only, so confirm with the school.

How do I check if a Hawaii Kai home is in a flood or tsunami zone?

Look up the address on the state flood map and the city's tsunami evacuation map. The DLNR Flood Hazard Assessment Tool shows FEMA flood zones by address or TMK, and FEMA's Flood Map Service Center is the official source. For tsunami zones, the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency links to the City and County of Honolulu's interactive map. Check any Hawaii Kai home before you make an offer, and ask your lender early about flood insurance.
