looking for a fun place to live with other hipsters my age. Mid 20s to early 30s. Want to live in Honolulu, but somewhere with more of a local feel to it versus a tourist feel, if at all possible. Any help would be great! cheers!

Alot of first timers share condos in Waikiki area...If your looking to mix right in with the locals I dont think that is a good idea to go anywhere near Wainae side or Wahiawa try to stay more close to Waikiki, Ala Wai, or Kalihi side...if you want more of a country feel then I would suggest Halewia/ North Shore side...You can always find a few roommates to split the cost of living. Again Good Luck

Me and my family just relocated to O'ahu a few months ago and it was pretty rough finding a decent home. We live in the Hawaii Kai area about 20 mi. from downtown Honolulu. We don't plan on staying long so we rent a beautiful home for $4700 a month 4 bdrm. If your looking for something smaller you could find something for less than $3000 mo. East of Honolulu is a little more upscale than the western side of the city. Homes in this area can reach well over 2+ million dollars but home all over the island can break the millions, although majority of them are located on the eastern side. This has to do a little with the landscape. It is more plush with vegetation compared to the western side that is far industrialized and cluttered with homes and business. It also has a serious reputation for terrible traffic and hotter weather. Definitely living outside the city will lower costs of homes. I would strongly recommend searching on the Eastern side though. The traffic, no matter how short of a distance you are from the city, is less severe. Most people are commuting to work from the western side a plus for us. Indeed costs of homes do range a little higher than most on the western side but you certainly do get more for your money, beautiful homes, gorgeous land (vegetation- plumeria trees) and views of Koko head, diamond head, and homes right on the ocean, and not to mention you save a lot on the gas tank =) Good luck with your move and finding the home of your dreams!

House to the State Capitol, Honolulu may be the lively epicentre of Hawaii and a town worth visit, like you will see with hotelbye . In Honolulu you'll find everything from historic landmarks and treasured monuments to world-class shopping and a flourishing arts and tradition scene. House to nearly all Oahu's citizenry, the vast town of Honolulu advances throughout the south-eastern shores of Oahu, from Pearl Harbor to Makapuu Point, encompassing world famous Waikiki. Pearl Harbor is one of Honolulu's greatest tourist attractions. Although it is home to the Navy's Pacific Fleet, guests may take a visit to see the USS Arizona Memorial, and the USS Missouri.

I don't know how much research you have done about living in Honolulu, but it's quite expensive there no matter where you live. If you are moving there from the main land, be prepared for sticker shock.

Stay home !
.....unless you have about $100,000/annual income to start....plus you need to live...and that's about $250,000 for a studio condo with $400/month maintenance fee after your mortgage and insurance. Utilities and taxes are expensive.
If you don't plan on working much, try other islands, Bahamas, Puerto Rico, Us Virgin Islands, and they'll throw you out if you make about $50,000 and don't pay your bills.
