My Favorite Honolulu Neighborhoods: Kamilo Nui, in the Hawaii Kai Region of Honolulu
If you follow Hawaii Kai Drive, pats the neighborhoods of Anchorage and Kealaulau, you’ll find Kamilo Nui. This development of 64 large executive homes were built in 2003 to 2004, which makes it a relatively newer neighborhood in Hawaii Kai. Most of these homes were built with central air conditioning and high end appointments. Interior home sizes range from 2,200 to 3,100 square feet. Lot sizes are above average, from 7,800 to 14,000 square feet.
The Upper Kamilo area is a zoned agricultural area and is leased by farmers who have been in the area for over 40 years. Most of the farmers here have a lease to farm the land that expires in 2025. At times this can cause a friction between the farmers and the residents with the lease coming up for renegotiation soon.

My Favorite Honolulu Neighborhoods: Napali Haweo, in the Hawaii Kai Region of Honolulu
Located on the Kamehame Ridge, Napali Haweo consists of mostly custom built homes, many with some of the best views found on Oahu. Fairly strict codes are enforced by a Home Owner’s Association that enforces covenants and building restrictions which results in not only a tidy but fairly upgraded and well maintained neighborhood.
This elite residential area consists of 193 homes and rises from 400 feet to 700 feet above sea level. Homes range in size from 3,000 square feet and lot sizes average 10,000 square feet or larger.
Home building in this area was finished in 1994, however building still continues. In fact, one unique feature about Napali Haweo is you can still find unfinished lots for sale in this area.
Napali Haweo in the ntive Hawaiian Language translate to “Cliffs of Distinction.”

My Favorite Honolulu Neighborhoods: Portlock, in the Hawaii Kai Region
Without question Portlock is one of the most affluent neighborhoods found on Oahu. Located on a peninsula overlooking the ocean on the southwestern slopes of Koko head, Portlock offers some absolutely spectacular ocean, cliff and mountain views. As you drive to Hanauma Bay, this neighborhood would be located on your right, with beach front estates, ocean view mansions and more luxury homes on the slopes. The location is convenient to all that Hawaii Kai has to offer and is just minutes from Hawaii Kai Town Center, the Koko Marina Shopping Center and more.
Portlock is perhaps one of the most prestigious areas of Hawaii Kai, and with no future plans to develop any higher up on the slopes of Koko Head, the exclusiveness of this area is retained. In fact, Henry Kaiser himself, who developed and built Hawaii Kai, built his own huge estate there, overlooking Maunalua Bay and Diamond Head. Homes in this neighborhood were built on large lots, mostly 12,000 to 15,000 square feet in size where homes average roughly $4 million in price.
Portlock Road runs parallel to the beautiful blue waters of Maunalua Bay. Homes on the water side enjoy gorgeous views of the Bay and Diamond Head and many have white, sandy beaches. There is a decent surf break not far just offshore, and also a small public beach that is primarily used by local residents. With this neighborhood located just off Kalanianaole Highway, it’s an easy drive to the freeway (H1) and downtown Honolulu. Heading east, residents can enjoy Hanamua Bay, the Makapuu Lighthouse and even drive a short distance to the windward side of the island. Residents of Portlock can easily enjoy all that suburban Hawaii Kai has to offer, but yet be just fifteen minutes from busy Metropolitan Honolulu and Waikiki.

My Favorite Honolulu Neighborhoods: Mariners Ridge, in the Hawaii Kai Region
This hillside neighborhood is located just past the Hawaii Kai Post Office and is reached via Kaluanui Road and climbs a ridge of the Koolau mountains and overlooks Hahione Valley. House lots in this neighborhood are generally hilly or sloped. Because of this, views of the ocean, Koko Head, Koko Crater, Hawaii Kai and the inner harbor and canals are outstanding, many are panoramic.
Most of the homes built in Mariner’s Ridge were built in the early 1970′s. Roughly 275 homes were built by a California developer in the lower two thirds of the ridge at this time. In later years over 150 lots were sold in the upper section of the ridge, where owners built custom homes. Today homes in this area total 429.
The average home is roughly 1,600 to 2,800 square feet in size with lots average 9,000 to 10,000 sqaure feet and many, because of such steep sloping lots, have multiple stories or floors, taking advantage of the hillside and views.

Our Clients Speak on our Behalf:
"Know that it has been a privilege to work with someone as detail oriented and caring as you. This is a big purchase for us, as you can imagine. Couple that with the fact that we are a frigid and icy 3000 miles away and you can imagine our concerns. Well, we both felt assure from the outset that we had someone "on the ground" that was taking care of our details. Thanks so much for all your help."

"In this era of fast food, fast service and voice mail loops that seem to lead to nowhere I feel it's important to acknowledge good service when it happens. Working with Doug Fischer for the purchase of our new property goes far and beyond good service. From our first tour of the area well over a year ago, Doug's warmth, wisdom and wit made us feel comfortable and well cared fro. His online newsletter and listings along with his attentive emails and phone calls between our first visit and our second early June of this year allowed us to stay in step with our goals when otherwise busy schedules here in Boston would have made it east to get derailed. Doug helped us narrow our search and pinpoint the right property. He advised us clearly and consistently throughout the process from the initial offer, through the inspection, the insurance, and mountains of paperwork. With great savvy and aplomb, Doug went to bat for us representing our needs and concerns with the Seller's agent. He also connected us to all the right people who, like Doug, were personable and professional every step of the way. Buying a new home on the other side of the country has been a big undertaking for me and my family. Working with Doug has made all the difference in the world to us. I don't think we would have done it without him."
- - - - - - Will Cook, Boston, MA
"Doug represented us in the purchase of our home in February. The purpose of this note is to tell you how he has continued to exceed our expectations, even after the sale. We have personally made 12 real estate transactions since 1978 and have dealt with many different Realtors. We can honestly say that Doug is the finest Realtor we have ever dealt with. He takes responsibility seriously and has continued to follow through with items that involved his personal attention well after the close of escrow. Specifically, Doug followed through with the City to complete a permitting process the prior owner was obligated to perform as a condition of sale. Doug made himself available to meet for repairs and building inspections throughout this process. The permit was finally issued last week. We were so impressed that we felt compelled to send you this note. Doug's exemplary service is a credit to your Brokerage Firm and all professional Realtors."
- - - - - - Sue Lyerly and Fran McClure, San Diego, CA
"We contacted Doug to discuss some of the issues that we were facing on an offer we had in on another property with another agent. Doug freely answered all of our questions while at the same time maintaining a professional attitude towards the other agent and firm. His honesty, integrity and advise gave us the inspiration to continue to look for property. Through this interaction we quickly surmised that Doug was the agent for us. From the outset, Doug displayed a passion for his job, replied to us within minutes of receiving our numerous emails and went to great extents to get information for us, no matter how trivial the request was. We were very impressed with Doug's organizational skills, his patience and how well he listened to and stayed focused in finding a house for us in exactly the area we wanted. Doug helped negotiate a great deal for us and was extremely helpful in walking us through the paperwork required to close the deal. He also provided numerous contacts for us so that we could arrange utilities, pool services, insurance and a multitude of other small items that are required when taking ownership of a new home and that would have been difficult to do from Canada. This was always done in a caring and enthusiastic manner. Doug continues to remain in contact with us even after closing to ensure that all is going well. You cannot know how grateful we are to have found a Realtor like Doug to help us through the process. Not many people would make the effort and go to the lengths Doug has for their clients and we appreciate the effort he has made on our behalf. We will be clients for life after this experience. We are very happy not only to have found a great house but also to have made a great friend. you can take pride in knowing that you have agents like Doug representing your Brokerage."
