Kalama Valley is a lovely, residential neighborhood offering real estate that attracts people in every stage of life. Young professionals, families and retired couples living out their golden years all call Kalama Valley home. Located at the base of Koko Head Crater, on the outskirts of Hawaii Kai, an upscale, suburban community on the eastern tip of Oahu, this is an ideal neighborhood for anyone looking for quiet, island living while still enjoying close, easy access to the shopping, dining and other commercial activity Hawaii Kai offers. Kalama Valley is a 5 - 10 minute drive into central Hawaii Kai and a 30 minute commute to Downtown Honolulu. It’s also close to popular beaches like Sandy’s and Makapuu, the Hawaii Kai Golf Course, Koko Head, which offers a popular (but challenging) hike, and the Koko Head Crater Botanical Garden.
The Homes Kalama Valley’s real estate really offers something for everyone. Single family homes are well-maintained and sit on nicely-manicured lawns. This is a new development, with the majority of homes built in the ‘70s and 80s. Homes in Kalama Valley are generally bigger than homes in Oahu’s older neighborhoods, feature open floor plan layouts and vaulted ceilings that add to the homes spacious feel. Most Kalama Valley houses offer at least 3 bedrooms and sit on medium-sized (5,000-7,000 sq. ft.) lots. The neighborhood does have larger properties as well, including homes on expansive 10,000-12,000 sq. ft. lots boasting 5 bedrooms!
There are also newer townhouse complexes in this valley neighborhood, which can be a great option for those who don’t need as much room as a house or who are looking for something a little more affordable. Kalama Valley townhouses come in a variety of sizes, from 1 to 5 bedrooms, so they can accommodate a single person, empty nesters, or young families that are still growing comfortably. Because the townhouses are fairly new (built in the 2000s), they feature more modern amenities, designs and appliances. Unless you want an ultra=modern home, major renovations to these townhomes shouldn’t be necessary.
