What Kailua CDP (Honolulu County) does better than anywhere else
Random thought, Crime rate is something to consider -Kailua CDP (Honolulu County) sits at 232.1 per 100K. Poverty rate is 2.3%, which is pretty low. Homes are going for about $1,239,000 on average. Median household income is $146,615, which feels pretty solid for the area. It's a a smaller city city with about 39,762 people. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Property taxes are high but you get good services. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Night life is decent if you know the right spots.
Pros:
- Growing food scene
- Strong sense of community
- Walkable downtown
- Active local events
- Good airport connections
Cons:
- Hot summers
- Lack of diversity
- Few job opportunities in some fields
What neighborhoods would you suggest? Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. The suburbs are where most families end up. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that.
