What's it really like living in East Honolulu?
First post here. I'm a teacher here and Rent is about $3,249/month for a decent place. Median household income is $158,398, which feels pretty solid for the area. Household incomes average around $158,398 in East Honolulu. Homes are going for about $1,172,300 on average. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. I'd say it's better for families than young singles.
Pros:
- Good job market
- Growing food scene
- Lots of new development
- Plenty of shopping options
Cons:
- Cold winters
- Not very walkable
- Homelessness issues downtown
