About a week and a half ago I was at the office and I get a call on my cellular.Hmm...long distance. Bet it's a telemarketer. Hit ignore. The office phone rings and she asks for ... ME. Wouldn't you know it was her calling on my cellular hahaha! Her husband came back from Iraq and saw my sites all over the internet so they called me. They are Military Relocating to Hawaii in December.

Talk about PRO ACTIVE in their search for a home! We now have an accepted contract (today) and they are flying in from California for their home inspection scheduled for Saturday. (and they get to see Hawaii for the first time in their lives!)

In communities such as the one my clients chose there are maintenance fees.It is a single family home but within a condo ownership association. I spoke with the on-site manager this morning because I wanted to find out what the maintenance fees take care of.

The maintenance fees take care of:

  • Termite treatment - After the current six year contract is up with the liquid treatment they're moving on to the Sentricon System.
  • Community Pool(and the on-site manager says it's the best in the area :)
  • Recreation Center
  • Parks and landscaping around the community
  • Bulk of the homeowners insurance (just like condos ...get insurance for the inside of the home)
  • Roads and street lights within the community
  • Water
  • Sewer

The Ewa Beach, Oahu, Hawaii area has grown tremendously since developers starting building new homes starting from the early 1990's. Located on our Southwestern shore of Oahu, the Ewa Beach area has beaches(One'ula and Ewa Beach Park), surfing spots, parks, golf courses, recreation centers and shopping centersto accommodate the still growing community.

If you are Military Relocating to Hawaii, Relocating due to a job change, Retiring to paradise, or just a change in lifestyle you'll find that you will get more bang for your buck in the Ewa Gentry areas.

A Hawaii Relocation? Ewa Gentry & Ocean Pointe Communities

Celeste "SALLY" Cheeseman, RA, CRS, HAWAII Real Estate & Relocations: Real Estate Agent in Mililani, HI

 The Ewa Beach, Oahu, Hawaii area has grown tremendously since developers starting building new homes starting from the 1990's.  They are still building but since the inventory is high for resales in this area they have slowed down a little and started offering more incentives.

Located on our Southwestern shore of Oahu, the Ewa Beach area has beaches (One'ula and Ewa Beach Park), surfing spots, parks and shopping centers to accomodate the still growing community.

Another biggie for attractions are the abundance of golf courses in this area:

  • Westloch Golf Course
  • Ewa Villages Golf Course
  • Coral Creek Golf Course
  • Hawaii Prince Golf Club
  • Ewa Beach Golf Club
  • Barber's Point Golf Course (I learned how to play at this course...and my mom hit her ball through a tree, hit a bird and it fell out of the tree...and yes ...dead)
  • And....Kapolei Golf Course

If you are Military Relocating to Hawaii, Civilian Relocating due to a job changeRetiring to paradise, or just a change in lifestyle you'll find that you will get more bang for your buck in the Ewa Gentry and Ocean Pointe areas.  

My client's who are Relocating to Hawaii from Lynchburgh, Virginia arrive this week. After working with them since November they asked me to set showing appointments in the Ewa Gentry-Ocean Pointe areas because of 1) more for their money  2) big inventory (therefore many to choose from)  3) many newer homes available 4) More vacant homes (so hopefully a quick closing).

One-ula Beach Park in Ewa Beach, Hawaii

Celeste "SALLY" Cheeseman, RA, CRS, HAWAII Real Estate & Relocations: Real Estate Agent in Mililani, HI

Yesterday, we had to go out to the hospital at the beginning of Ewa Beach. After that we took a cruise to an old beach I haven't been to for years.

One'ula Beach Park is on the West Side of Oahu in Honolulu County and has been a little run down lately and I read a story about how the "Limu" (native seaweed) is a rarity nowadays here at Oneula.

The 'Limu' has long since been a cultural resource for Native Hawaiians and a source of food and medicine and up until about a decade ago the 'limu', fish and sand crabs were in abundance.

Seems that when the storms produce heavy rains the runoff of water is collecting too many polluntants along the way before reaching the Ewa Beach coastal waters. In any event...you can read more on what they're trying to do about it ......here.

The ocean is still a beautiful wonder and if you look closely a great surfing spot as well. It really would be nice if they landscaped the area and cleaned up the park more. It really is still a beautiful spot.

Funny how things change in just a few years.....even when living on a small island in the Pacific.

But hey....it was such a beautiful day!
