- Hawaii house tour Military Housing Schofield Barracks - House Tour || 3 Bedroom Attached Garage JO3 Model
Today we are doing a house tour. We just moved into the Kaena Community area on Schofield Barracks, Hawaii. This is part of the Island Palms Communities Army base housing. We are so excited to be out of the Inn at Schofield Hotel and in our new house. They have provided us loaner furniture to use until our household goods arrive. We have a 3 bedroom townhouse? It may be considered a duplex. It comes with a fenced in backyard and a decent 1 car attached garage. This is available to junior NCO, E1-E6 and is full BAH.
🪖 If you new to our channel, John re-enlisted in the military after being out for ten years. Kind of crazy. But John was a Marine and he loved the Marines. Afghanistan Veteran. The only reason he got out was for me. Back before online jobs or school, he gave up the Marines and allowed me to start my career. I had an amazing career spending years growing and working with Target as a Store Director. But with Covid came many changes. One of those was to stay home and homeschool Alexandra. And so it opened the door for John to do whatever he wanted to do. He re-enlisted, but this time we both agreed the Army. But after being out so long, John had to go through Basic training again or OSUT. Six months of that followed by waiting for command sponsorship for our first OCONUS move and the family has been apart for 10 months. Crazy considering this wasn't a deployment. But we made it! #MilitaryFamilyVlog

In Maryland I lived in two houses on Base on Fort Meade. First was Allsworth Court and I also in the Anyways our house in Allsworth Court was 2 story house. The only down side was that we had to drive our trash to a machine and we pressed the button for the trash. I also did a slip and slide that summer in Maryland for my first summer before I started swimming at the base pool. Then I lived on a Ranch house on Craig Street from June 2010 to June 2011.
Great information here! Thanks for posting. Try some fuzzy walk off mats for the dirty paws. Costco carries them seasonally. Also, Oxyclean works well on red dirt stains. As for the roaches, yes, Hawaii has more than enough of them! I’ve stayed in homes where they let geckoes run free and that really helps, assuming you consider geckos to be friendly, insurance-selling creatures and not icky pests.
Yes! Geckos are welcome in our house. We have lived in Hawaii a year now and have come a long way with bugs and red dirt ☺️
In Colorado I lived an Apartment with my parents when i was little when I first arrived to Colorado in 1999 just before I turned 2. Then we moved into a house on East Nassau Place. It was a two story house with a basement. There I would play in my dinosaur sand box in my backyard and Play with my swing set and my dad would push me on the swing some times. I also would do Fireworks at our court with our neighbors and watch fireworks in a field somewhere every year too. I also would wear my snowsuit every Halloween and my parents would sort my Halloween candy because I could not eat gluten back then. One time on my mothers birthday one year there was tornado so close to our house in a field.
When I moved to Hawaii we rented in Mililani at first. The house was mostly clean, but I saw a few roaches. I had the property manager bring in pest control. When I came back to check on the house, there were dead bugs everywhere! I actually cried for several minutes before sweeping them all up. I still don't like them, but a good roach is a dead roach, so I'm over it. You will probably forever react to the slightest movement in the corner of your eye just to be able to catch any bug, lol!
Omg! Yes! The bugs here are never ending. I just saw a giant false widow eating a cockroach yesterday 😩
My mom was forever smashing them bare handed/fingers🤮
Oh my God, your kids are so cute!!! So is the base housing more affordable than outside housing? I'm going to look into living on base, close to Tripler.
I think so! You can find a decent place off base if you have no kids, and no dogs. But forget the garage or backyard. Power bills alone may overwhelm you. Many people who like AC will pay over $800 a month on electricity alone. And even if you don't use AC you will still have a $400 power bill. Just ask any of the military wives' forums on Facebook.
In '79-82, geckos took care of a lot of em. Chased what was left back and forth between the joined units back then despite the concrete cinder block fireproofing between.
1868 B Ekaha Circle RIP😭
Yes! I have learned to let the geckos come and go. I don't see as many cockroaches. 🫣🤣
I lived in Two houses on Hickam. One was Earhart which was ranch house. This house I could walk to and from my school because it was so close to my school and I also my own private alley way to a swing and I was the only kid to use this swing at the time most of the time. The only downside was that my parents had to deal with cockroaches in the house just like you are dealing with in your house right now I can imagine.
Then I moved in Gemini Avenue which a two story house in July 2006 which where I would ride my bike on the court with other kids on that street who became my friends later. We also would have potlucks on our court for Thanksgiving and Christmas and we would have inflatable water slides and I also went to Josh and Remmy house for a Valentines day party in February 2009 with the other kids while my mom celebrated at our house with the other adults.
Also in my house on Gemini avenue in Hawaii I would also play games on the Tag Channel on Television although this channel is not around anymore. One day in May 2009 the month before I left Hawaii I was play tag games on the tv one morning and my mother was annoyed that I did not ask her if could play games on the tag game channel because the month before that they start costing 25 cents to play a game but luckily it was free in the month of May in 2009.
25 cents a game!
People always think roaches are in homes because they are dirty but nope it's just a home for them to live in that's not outside. We have only seen a few our house after 2 years at Bragg but my friend has the same house but older than mine and she had an infestation. They were coming in from a hole behind her stove. These houses still look pretty big for being a 3 bedroom. We had orders to HI a few years ago now it's on our list again. Did you put your tv in the front room area and table in the back?
Most people set up their houses that way. We ended up doing the opposite. Tv in the room closest to the kitchen and dining table in the front room.
Are you still living here? Re enlisting very soon for hawaii. According to your description, this is available for married e4? This is way beyond what i was expecting
Yes it is! It’s easier to get it if you have kids. Homes here go by what’s available and family size more than rank. Sometimes a married e4 or e5 with no kids will get a two bedroom apartment. Our neighbors are e4 with no kids, same layout as ours. Officers are also in the same neighborhood.
I wanted to see the historic drive by you mentioned???
I lived in 1867 B Ekaha Circle '79-82 RIP😭 LONG gone....
I'll see if I can make a drive by on the old historic neighborhoods for you!
Might be a silly question but with the central air, does the upstairs stay as cool as the downstairs? Our last house was hot upstairs even with central air and the downstairs was cold.
Personally, I'm an open-window person. The nights cool off into the sixties and I love the fresh air.
But I reached out to one of my friends who likes to keep it nice and cool in the house for the babies and this is what she said:
“The upstairs stays a little bit warmer. We turn our ceiling fans on high. But as long as you keep the window blinds closed, it usually maintains the temperature in the middle of the summer gets pretty hot. It’s usually anywhere from 2 to 5° higher I would say.”
@@theWiggyFamily Thank you so much!
I’m moving there in October, I’m a E4(P) my spouse me and an adult dependent… would you recommend staying on post?
There are pros and cons to both. If you don’t have dogs or kids living off post might be exciting. You get to really experience Hawaii culture. Just be ready that utilities are very expensive when living off post. Electricity bills average $400-600 a month here.
Just know that it will be difficult finding a place as large as what you can get on base. Back yards and garages are not common at our BAH level off base. But they are on base. Many families chose to live on base just for these reasons.
Housing on base is not divided so much by rank. More family size and what’s available.
Hello how are you ? i am moving to hawaii in december i would like to know the name of this community and how long does it take to get the house? thank you!
Aloha! We live in the Santa Fe/Kaena Community. If you are arriving in December you probably will not have a long wait for housing. But housing varies for many reasons. The best way to find out would be to contact Island Palm. They are the 3rd party that operates housing here. Families can get into housing in as little as 2 weeks and as long as 3 months. The longer wait would be in the summer.
@@theWiggyFamily thank you so much ! Do you have their number ? Thank you
Yes! Here is their number: (877) 487-4323. Also their website: www.islandpalmcommunities.com
@@theWiggyFamily thank you so
Much!
Roaches !!!!😳
And centipedes! If you live on base though you can have them spray for free and it does help! I don’t see roaches inside anymore. Only out in the grass when I mow the lawn.
@@theWiggyFamily thanks for sharing we’re currently stationed at fort bliss the roaches here are gigantic and I’m from Philly!
Are you familiar with a huge, deep gulch/gully somewhere on Schofield??
I am not! My husband is more familiar with the base than I am. Where was it?
@@theWiggyFamily I don't think it was too far from Ekaha Circle. My mom was afraid my ill behaved little brother would wander off and fall into it. It was definitely not something that could be filled in ever.
@@laurakibben4147 Ekaha Circle doesn't seem to be on the map anymore. At least I can't find it. That doesn't mean it doesn't exist anymore. But I know they tore down some old neighborhoods and built some new houses with all-new street layouts three years ago.
@@theWiggyFamily 😞😞😞😭😭😭 it's been a minute since I looked as well, specifically. I was cruising around just zooming in regular maps a couple months ago.
No telling. 40+ years and the city of my birth isn't the same either.
😣😣
@@theWiggyFamily In just now looking, it's just a long street now and less family units in place in how the circle had about 9 separate buildings that were 2-4 family units combined, all 2-4 beds apiece. Can't attach the screenshot shot here but it's between Carpenter and Santa Fe after Hendrickson Loop.
