Welcome to Kakaako!

The 30-acre Kakaako Waterfront contains rolling, grassy mounds that lead to an oceanfront promenade equipped with picnic areas and comfort stations. Next door, is the Hawaii Children’s Discovery Center, a facility geared towards challenging children to develop all of their senses to better understand the world around them.

Kakaako is also home to the new University of Hawaii Manoa John A. Burns School of Medicine where the cafeteria, Café Kulia, offers delicacies crafted by the culinary students of Kapiolani Community College to the general public during the week. Additionally, every Monday the City and County’s People’s Open Market at Mother Waldron Park offers locals the opportunity to purchase agricultural and aquaculture products at about 35 percent below general retail costs.

Nestled right in between Waikiki and Downtown Honolulu, Kakaako is at the forefront of fashion, cuisine, and culture in Honolulu. Regardless of what you're preference is, you'll find something you love. Enjoy world class restaurants at Ala Moana mall or head down to a local eatery in Chinatown. Relax at Ala Moana Beach Park or drink Mai Tais on the roof of Ala Moana mall. Party or relax, take an adventure or take comfort in something familiar. Kakaako has it all.

Market Insights

This very trendy neighborhood is showing historically high median list prices, breaking one million dollars for the first time, despite a healthy number of listings. The large influx of new luxury condos and healthy sales have made Kakaako's median price increase significantly. Still, reserved housing developments ensure even first-time homebuyers can afford to live in the area.
