What's it really like living in Waipahu?
Longtime lurker here, I'm retired and Crime rate is something to consider -Waipahu sits at 232.1 per 100K. Rent is about $1,585/month for a decent place. You can expect to pay around $1,585 for rent here. Homes are going for about $835,400 on average. The median home value here is around $835,400, which is pretty steep. Property taxes are high but you get good services. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that.
Pros:
- Easy commute
- Strong sense of community
- Active local events
Cons:
- High property taxes
- Mosquitoes and humidity
- Far from major airports
