Waipahu homes are built on lands that held sugar plantations as late as the 1990's. The conversion into the places we know today started primarily in the 1970's as the agricultural economy started to die out and it has never looked back.
Waipahu has multiple neighborhoods within it, including
Waikele. One of the enduring attractions of Waipahu are the more affordable houses it offers, still in reasonable commuting range for downtown workers. Those more moderately priced residences tend to be in the sections of Waipahu south of H-1, where the town's first communities were built in the 1960s and 70's.
With new development over the years the varieties of homes has broadened, creating properties for almost every level of the market. The
Royal Kunia neighborhood, for instance, which sits north of H-1, has large, upscale homes with 3 to 5 BRs priced in the $600Ks and $700Ks.
Harbor View is another extremely attractive community, with some homes that have views of both Pearl Harbor and Diamond Head. Not a bad vista. Pricing starts lower than
Kunia, in the $400Ks, but the range is higher, going up to almost $1M for certain properties.
Waipahu is an excellent option for those with a lower home buying budget, but its appeal doesn't end there anymore.
