Hawaii Kai: A Planned Community with Natural Beauty
Located in the vibrant Hawaii Kai neighborhood, the Esplanade offers residents a serene yet active lifestyle. This area, envisioned by Henry J. Kaiser in the 1960s, is Oahu's first planned community, designed around the island's largest former fish pond, Kuapa. The neighborhood is known for its quiet, laid-back atmosphere, with palm-lined streets and stunning lava formations along the coastline. Points of interest include the Koko Marina Shopping Center, offering a variety of dining and shopping options, and the nearby Hanauma Bay, a popular spot for snorkeling and marine life exploration. Residents can enjoy outdoor activities at Maunalua Bay Beach Park or hike the Koko Head Trail for breathtaking views. With convenient access to essential services and a short drive to downtown Honolulu, Hawaii Kai provides a perfect balance of tranquility and urban convenience.
Convenient Access to Honolulu and Beyond
While Hawaii Kai offers a somewhat walkable environment, residents often rely on personal vehicles for transportation. The Esplanade provides ample parking options, including a gated garage and guest parking. For those traveling further afield, Daniel K Inouye International Airport is approximately a 35-minute drive away. The scenic Kalanianaole Highway connects residents to popular destinations such as Waikiki and downtown Honolulu, making commuting both convenient and enjoyable. The neighborhood's layout and location ensure that residents can easily access the amenities and attractions of both Hawaii Kai and the broader Honolulu area.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
