Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam
If you are planning a move to Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, a real estate professional can help you find the right home. Hickam Air Force Base and Naval Station Pearl Harbor came together in 2010 to create Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam. The base is busy and vibrant due to the booming tourism industry. Pearl Harbor is a historic landmark and there are many attractions around the base to explore. The laid-back, relaxed island vibe is another major advantage of being posted at this base.
Pearl Harbor is located on O’ahu island, eight miles away from Honolulu. With its flat terrain and natural attractions, it is a great place for those who enjoy biking, walking, and jogging. There are a number of open playgrounds to explore for families with young children. The Pearl Harbor channel is also a popular place to sit and watch submarines and ships coming to the area. Honolulu International Airport is easily accessible from Pearl Harbor.
Like Pearl Harbor, Hickam is also a flat terrain. The base itself is spread over 2,850 acres and has a number of facilities. There are a number of places to call home throughout Hawaii and a number of short- and long-term vacation rentals to choose from if you would like to explore the neighborhoods before investing in a property. The tropical climate of the area and its abundant sunshine makes it a wonderful place to call home.
The landscape of Hawaii is diverse, and this results in significantly different weather based on location. The east side of the island has lush green Ko’olau Mountains while the west side has a dry environment. North Shore is home to a dramatic shoreline and high surf. The area hosts a number of surfing competitions. Central O’ahu is a fertile landscape with plenty of farms. During summers, temperatures are typically 85 degrees while in winter it averages around 78 degrees. While the island does experience rainfall on a daily basis, it is only for a short time. The rest of the day the weather is typically mild, sunny, and pleasant.
If you are moving to the base, you will find a wealth of attractions and activities to choose from. There is something to do for people of all age groups. If you enjoy hiking, Hawaii is one of the top places in the country to do that. There are a number of trails to choose from, depending on your preference. Explore the trails leading to the dormant Diamond Head and Koko Head volcanoes or the Makapu’u trail. If you enjoy lush tropical greenery, head over to Manoa Valley. There are also a number of water sports activities to indulge in. With abundant sunshine and warm water, the island is an excellent place to try diving, snorkeling, spearfishing, paddle boarding, and kayaking.
Surfing is an important part of the culture of Hawaii. If you are interested in learning surfing, there are a number of places offering lessons throughout the island. The island hosts surfing competitions on a regular basis for people of all ages. These events draw the whole community together. The beaches around the base are also quite popular. The beaches in Kailua are quite popular and can get very crowded. The ocean currents tend to be very strong and experience shore breaks. If you are looking for gentler beaches, head over to Ko’olina for the calm lagoons. If you are interested in Grand luaus, head over to the Sea Life Park or Polynesian Cultural Center for a taste of the island’s culture. In Waikiki, the Hale Koa luau is also a popular option for those looking for a shorter, more affordable luau experience.
If you are interested in investing in off-base real estate, there are a number of neighborhoods to choose from. Regardless of where you live in Hawaii, you will be able to easily commute to military installations. Some of the most popular off-base neighborhoods are Hawaii Kai, Salt Lake, Kaneohe, Kailua, Ewa Beach, Kapolei, Aiea, and Pearl City. The downtown area in Honolulu typically has older, original homes that were built earlier. If you are looking for newer homes, Ewa by Gentry is a good option.
Ko Olina is home to a number of condos of all sizes. The North Shore on O’ahu is home to upscale properties. Waikiki is also home to spectacular beachfront properties that are closer to the tourist districts. Since electricity can be very expensive, most homes in the area have solar power. Buying a home in O’ahu can be a little challenging because of the nature of the island and the local stipulations.
