Thanks for doing this video. I am from San Francisco and owned a few property in bay area.. I have been watching your videos hoping to capture the area in my interest for retirement or investment. I have been to wikiki and visited big island 2 weeks ago. So far nothing catches my attention yet.
First of all, mahalo for your continued viewership and support. My team truly appreciates your feedback and it helps us narrow in our efforts to bring even more value to people like yourself looking to move to and/or invest here in Hawaii. If you don't mind, please elaborate on your previous bay area properties as well as what you're looking for here in the islands. This way I can better serve your needs. Hawaii's housing market covers most bases when it comes to real estate investments. (Feel free to reach out directly if you prefer: 808-202-9194)
@WT: Mahalo for the comment. Let’s connect sometime and talk about what would spark your interest. This is a small place, so once I learn your preferences we will be able to dial it in. Like the Bay, each corner has its own vibe. Alameda is different than Oakland is different than the City, is different than Palo Alto etc etc. let’s chat 🤙🏽🤙🏽
Welcome aboard and glad this video was helpful. A lot of people moving to and from Hawaii find our channel useful and informative, so stay tuned and mahalo for watching.
Hate to say this but Kakaako feels overrated. But its definitely better than the 80s where it was all warehouses. I'd only be there to play basketball. I remember when the waterfront park never had all those UH medical buildings. Was just empty.
John Dominis, Sunset Grill, Exotic Nights, Club Sundance, Classic Cat, Kengos…..local grinds/bars, and industrial shops whatevers you needed in town in the day. At night ho cuz……mahus and ma’a zombies or batu players come out. That’s what I remember Kaka aoko back in the 90s.
bro, a long time ago, before I even started working at Louis Vuitton in Waikiki, I was a security guard for Gucci. Behind Gucci was a flat lot where I would buy, almost every day I worked, a steak plate lunch from the japanese guy that ran his mobile plate lunch stand. That same flat lot is now home to a new building !!! Crazy...lol...but this was many MANY years ago....
Nephew , what years was yor dad a beach boy? I grew up in waikiki and joined the Navy. in 1981 my uncle is OKU, I was a garuk and only known as Oku's nephew. the beach boys gave me a good party and kicked me out of hawaii your dad should know him
Aloha Derek, love your video on Kakaako, yeah that building reminds me of a high rise in Miami with that Orange color, looking forward to your other Downtown videos, Mahalo tony
I enjoy your videos , your honesty, style of narration , facts about living on the island of Oahu . I like your historical facts growing up in Hawaii Small kid time memories, changes we born and raised go through.
Thanks for this…this is awesome. Like everyone else, I’ve been keeping track of all the condo developments and considering them as a possible living situation. It’s such a disparate choice: Condo urban living with all the conveniences a walking distance away vs. perhaps a home near or on the water in a remote part of the island north of Kaneohe. I’ll be close to 60yo by the time I get to Hawaii so the reality is that a condo in a place like Kakaako does make a lot of sense. Happy 4th…
Hello again, Gus. Now that you frame living in Hawaii that way, Kaka'ako is actually condo urban living with high walkability AND close to the water. Kind of an all-in-one option! Enjoy the holiday weekend!
Aloha Cesar. It basically means you can’t move forward and/or maybe can’t finish the transaction, without XX being satisfied. In most cases we hear people buying a home but the transaction is “contingent” on the sale of their current home.
Great video! Love your honest and friendly personality. I have been attracted to Hawaii since my youth in the 1970’s watching Jack lord in Hawaii Five 0. Are there any buildings, neighborhoods on Oahu that haven’t changed since then? Jack and his wife Marie lived at 4999 Kahala until their passing. I understand there is a bust of him at the kahala mall. Would love to visit the palace and other landmarks. Do you have a Jack Lord story to share.?
Aloha, Sofia. I try to share the most real, most authentic experience possible. Mahalo for your feedback letting my team know that we're on the right track. Kahala is actually a video we are planning on shooting as part of the larger Honolulu Series - Hawaii Kai, Kahala (including Aina Haina and Niu Valley), Kaimuki, Waikiki, Makiki, Kaka'ako and Manoa Valley. There are many neighborhoods on Oahu that retain their 1970's look and feel. In fact, many homes in Kahala date to this period. Some neighborhoods on Oahu date further back towards the plantation days! Sorry, no personal Jack Lord stories to share. Hawaii Five-O stopped running a few years before I was born but I still recognize the name and face!
Dear Derek do you think it will be possible for me to move there I am going to be honest I can’t by a house I am on disability and what I am looking for is a home that except disabled people and do you help people like that I hope so but if you don’t do you know any one who dose please get back with me it would mean a lot to me
Please take my reply with a grain of salt. Hawaii is easier for RICH people to retire. If you're financially struggling and on disability, Hawaii will eat you alive. This is a very expensive state to live in much less retire in. I'd rather take my chances with Florida than try to retire here in Hawaii unless you're wealthy. This is just my honesty and 2 cents.

Kauai boy here. I can’t afford a house and am not even looking for one but I can’t stop watching this channel😂 Derek is da man!
Cool 😎
I spent 6 , 5 days in Waikiki in 2006
How was it?
EXPENSIVE FOR SURE, ANYTHING IN HONOLULU.
Kakaako I was there not far from the movie theater
16:29 No left turn into driveway.
Hawaii drivers are some of the worse, they don't obey street signs and are extremely passive aggressive behind the wheels.
What happened to The Jam on Nimitz Hwy?
Don't know! Anyone else care to chime in?
Nice vid Hawaiian! Very informative. Glad to have stumbled on you channel. Researching about Oahu before moving.
Welcome aboard and glad this video was helpful. A lot of people moving to and from Hawaii find our channel useful and informative, so stay tuned and mahalo for watching.
Reminds me of Wynwood in Miami.
Met my hubby at Pipeline back in 2002. I remember dollar Thursday's, college budget😆
Pipeline! Hearing that name brings back memories 😆
I work in uptown Oakland
Oh my gosh!!! You guys bring back so much memories!!!! Love this! Thank you for your videos!🤙🏼🤙🏼

Good video, definitely not my scene but that's the point of the video though. Well done.
Awesome! Hope you also do one for Ward Village! Mahalo
Definitely on the radar! As well as a whole lot of other Honolulu neighborhoods. Mahalo for watching 🤙🏽
What you mean we don’t use umbrellas? On sunny days we do!
True. Sun umbrellas see a lot of action here
,85 -88 I lived in the Century Center. I loved that place! Looked out at Ala Moana bowls every day to check the surf.
Happy 4th and thank you for your service
Same to you!
immediate sub thank you for providing such high-quality content appreciate the time and effort you're putting into each video.
Welcome aboard! Our goal is to keep sharing content like this every week
I thought Piikoi is the border of Kakaako and Ala Moana
F

I don't remember Kakaako have buildings everything you said I know. Use to live there for about 40 years.
👍👍👍👍

Derek have a Question what's (Contingent) mean when it pertains to realstate.
Thank you again for a great video.
Aloha Cesar. It basically means you can’t move forward and/or maybe can’t finish the transaction, without XX being satisfied. In most cases we hear people buying a home but the transaction is “contingent” on the sale of their current home.

Damn pipeline… my first clubbin when in middle school 😂 back then there’s no rules haha
