HAWAII

To most, Hawaii is a stunning chain of islands dotting the Central Pacific Ocean that is ideal for a week-long vacation in paradise. To us, we wonder why you wouldn’t make that paradise your home.

Made up of eight main islands, residing in Hawaii provides an unmatched quality of life. Although each island proudly provides an entirely different lifestyle, each island has enough perks to make you never want to leave. From lush landscapes to hip dining spots to world-class surfing and whale watching, you can never go wrong putting your roots down in the sands anywhere on these islands. Although every inch of Hawaii is incredible, it is worth mentioning three locations with fantastic homeownership opportunities.

You cannot go wrong living anywhere on Oahu. The most populous Hawaiian island flawlessly combines that big city feels with that serene island paradise. Oahu has oodles of one-of-a-kind activities outside of the everyday relaxing perks of living an island life (beautiful beaches, lush landscape, stunning places to kayak, hike, and whale watch). Not only is it home to the state capital, Honolulu, but Oahu is famous for housing the Pearl Harbor memorial, Waikiki Beach, and Hanauma Bay - where visitors can casually snorkel with a bevy of tropical fish. 

As you deliberate where you want to call home on the island, it will all depend on the lifestyle you are after. There are a few neighborhoods to consider. For a lush surrounding with stunning views of Kaneohe Bay, the Hawaii Kai, Kaneohe, and Kailua neighborhoods on the island’s Windward side are excellent options. If you want your roots to be in a more remote location with world-renown surfing, look no further than the North Shore. Or, if it all sounds terrific and you want a little bit of everything, the Leeward side of the island is loaded with beautiful communities that will provide you with a lifestyle that never grows dull. 

The capital of the Hawaiian islands, Honolulu is the ultimate homebuyer destination for anyone seeking a mixture of both metro and island lifestyles. As if living here wasn’t tempting enough, Honolulu has been renovating, bringing in excellent restaurants, bars, and shopping over the last few years. It has also become known for having one of the best nightlife in the world, as new hot spots open daily. Purchasing a home in Honolulu is a decision you won’t come to regret. Where else in the world can you live in a “big city” that offers a small-town feel while being a skip-hop-and-a-short-jump away from the famous Waikiki Beach? Whether you want to reside in a new-build high rise or a bungalow located in one of the incredible surrounding neighborhoods, Honolulu has what you are after and cannot wait for you to call it home.

Known as the Garden Island for its lush landscape, living in Kauai would provide a life amongst a tight-knit community that enjoys unbelievable views, with regular visits to awe-inspiring beaches. For those that love spending their days adventuring outdoors, Kauai would be perfect. Whether you are hiking along the dramatic cliffs of the Na Pali Coast, amongst the red stones of Waimea Canyon, or snorkeling with sea lions in Princeville, each day’s activities will provide a lifetime of memories. Filled with culture, inhabited with the famous Kauai roosters, and painted with waterfalls throughout the island, Kauai awaits your arrival, ready to ensure you never experience a dull moment.
