The Ewa Gentry townhomes and condos came to life only in the1990's, after the plantations that dominated this landscape finally closed for good. The loss of that business opened the doors wide to development that quickly shifted into high gear.
Despite that real estate crash that hit the Islands at that same time, home sales here were strong and have remained so ever since. The secrets to the success of Ewa Gentry, and the rest of the
Ewa Plain, were an easier entry to homeownership in a continually high dollar market and the opportunity to have traditional home features that have become rare for much of Oahu.
The Townhomes For many, especially younger families, living in an Ewa Gentry townhome or condo that came with a yard, extra amenities or at least larger open spaces for both them and their kids, was a dream come true. Master planning for what was previously pure farmland allowed this kind of lifestyle to be laid out on Ewa Gentry as it was built and it remains today.
For example, at the
Cortebella townhomes, thought it doesn't have a lot of real amenities, every unit still gets their own yard. Where comparable eastern Oahu properties are surrounded by concrete, you have land of your own beyond your foundation.
Other communities offer unique features that expand the possibilities beyond the norm. The
Lofts by Gentry have an open loft space, perfect for that in-home office or a guest room. That's in addition to the 1 to 3BRs you already have in a layout that's over 1,000 sq ft.
There's also the
Alii Cove where you're promised to have a 2 car garage along with that desirable yard space, plus at least 1,081 sq ft inside your 3BR floor plan.
Even the less flashy places like
Las Brisas can surprise local homebuyers with their standard elements. In these Ewa Gentry townhomes you can count on a garage, nice lanai space and expansive floor plans of 1,136 to 1,476 sq ft that all contain 3BRs in them.
Best of all, living here you can count on an open skyline due to the very few structures topping 3 floors throughout the entire community. The Ewa Plain is where you can stretch out not only in your immediate surroundings, but in the long-views, too. That probably won't change any time soon, either.
Compare this to the skyline of urban Oahu that continues to rise higher and higher, eliminating views and cutting you off from many of the most beautiful sights of the Islands. Here, your only limitation is often your eyesight.
Ewa Gentry did bring change to the land here, but managed to hang on to the wide angle vistas that are due to the characteristically flat terrain of this part of the Island. You know where you are every moment.
Buying a townhome in Ewa Gentry is an option to getting more for you and your family. When you can step out on your own yard in the morning, smell the flowers in the air, look out at a clear skyline and drink in the serenity of this place, why would you be anywhere else?
