Everything I Need and More In Kapolei 4 rating By Anonymous ( May 10, 2018) Living in Kapolei is amazing, you are really missing out if you haven't seen this part of the Hawaiian Islands. Located on the southwest tip of O'ahu, Kapolei is a city unto itself with views that show the scenic coast of the Pacific. A drive along Kalaeloa Boulevard will reward ...Read More you with a stunning view of Ko Olina Beach Park.

Usually the time invested along Queen Liluokalani Freeway can be one of the best parts of living in Kapolei, as it connects you with the many establiments along the way. I would enjoy stopping by Plantation Tavern on the way to work and enjoying the daily specials.

All in all some of the best areas in Kapolei are near the Freeway, as many tourists as well as residents enjoy Wet 'N' Wild Hawaii located by Kapolei Commons. Affordable housing is one reason I choose to stay in my little piece of paradise. The market is well below average for the state, and I enjoy being able to relax knowing that I can afford a night out! Read Less
