OG Ewa Beach here, priced out like many other locals in general. Reading the comments and potential future transplants. Sad. Just really sad.

[@germanuncle24]

Hoping to move back to Hawaii. Stationed there for 6 years and my twins were born there. Loved it so much and the people are so awesome!

[@Luvmypugs3]

Just watched, I’m from Waipahu but moved to Mainland land in 1976. I still visited 2-3x a year until my Mom passed. She lived in the Ewa Plantation homes. It brings back so many memories. Had family that lived in Gentry too. I also enjoy hearing your childhood stories. TY so much. I now live in Arizona. Every time I come back I get stressed from the traffic. But I love the food so much, I try to hit all the best local spots.

[@movingtohawaii]

Mahalo for your comments. We have access to the top 1% of agents in any market so if you ever need a referral in AZ we will put them through our top 1% screening process.

[@Luvmypugs3]

Yes sure will. Apparently Housing market here in Queen Creek is booming.

[@TropicTrdr]

Another trip down memory lane. I was stationed at Barber's Point and most of the squadron either lived on the West Shore, Makakilo (single wall construction in the first part) or Ewa Beach. You're right about Long's; their $2 flip flops were a staple but I splurged for Reym Spooner Alohas. The town is unrecognizable although Campbell High was there and that old McDonald's was the slowest one on the Island. If you wanted a mall, Pearlridge was the closest. I'm assuming that those new developments are at the site of the Navy Housing In Iroquois Point. I used to sail my Hobie Cat from there to Waikiki. There was this old landlord, Mr Endo who had a large 1940's beachfront house that was constantly rented by Sailors and was the scene of many parties. You could see Diamond Head from the back yard. Thanks again for posting; now you have me thinking...

[@pharmatainer_HJ]

I love your driving and showing at the same time! Thank you!

[@movingtohawaii]

Glad you enjoyed the real life experience.

[@leilareggie1826]

You have given such a great tour of the lay of the land in Ewa. I am moving back as soon as a senior rental unit opens up for me. I hope there will be block grant monies or other redevelopment for the plantation house areas including added ohana tiny homes. It is great to hear Campbell HS upped their scores. I volunteered for the library system there. I had great hopes for the students I got to meet there when most did not have computers of any kind in their homes. Bravo for bringing the everyday environment of life in Hawaii. I encourage you to move to Ewa or Kapolei. It is really only 45 minutes from so many places in those now more rare hours the traffic doubles or triples road time I know. 7-11 was bought by a Japanese company who I understand have much expanded their to-go premade Hawaiian and Asian style foods beyond the necessary daily fuel of misubi. Ewa and Kapolei are the aloha integration of old and new. I tried to create a corporate school adoption program just to get AC and solar for all the schools. I frankly think that is the least the out of state developers and retailers owe to the schools.

[@pjsp605]

Hi Derek. I just wanted to say that you provided the best guide to Ewa that I have seen so far. I ended up watching 5 videos with Mahe and you. Keep up the great work.

[@movingtohawaii]

MAHALO PJ! We appreciate the feedback. If you need any real estate help please hit us up 🤙🏽🤙🏽

[@neilyoungsoftandsweet]

Yes I've seen tons of these area videos but you give the low down facets facts and make it real thank you so many others of these types of relocation videos are cold distant and tell you nothing except how much prices are it's so superficial callous and crude but your narration is great makes you feel at home watching this and I never give anyone compliments unless they warrant them you deserve kudos respect and credit these are very enlightening informative helpful and most of all Fun to watch

[@Thrustmachinegreen]

Living in Ewa now, right off kolowaka. Been loving it since I got here

[@AndyLifeInVideo]

Oh man, Ewa looks like a great community!

[@irishb9993]

Thanks for this info Derek! We are considering buying in Ewa beach area. We will be there February 😊

[@movingtohawaii]

Let’s connect!!

[@movingtohawaii]

Were we able to connect? Sorry don't know the youtube handle from our client name...?

[@michaelpolacek2472]

Thanks for the tour! Very helpful. Maybe when you can show more of the places you describe. The camera shows you rather than what you are describing. Great videos!

[@sec808]

Many of the plantation houses were built in the 20's. Ewa Villages has many historic homes there

[@maukamakai5.0]

I've seen a guard shack posted there (@Fairways) back in the days. I'm talking in the early/mid 90s! love your videos my braddah!!.... also, I heard rumors that Fairways get choke centipedes (Hawaii's version of snakes). super sore if you get bit!

[@movingtohawaii]

Our house in fairways had Centipedes a few times!

[@zacharytaylor6677]

Awesome video 🔥

[@thomascosta7056]

Grew up Ewa Beach Kulana village. Hope to move back one day from Washington.

[@danielledenuve9943]

😊Love the North Shore. Many happy memories in Haleiwa, can’t wait to try the bakery ‘Pastries look delicious’ Mahalo for the video❤️

[@rozaizes357]

This is excellent video, thanks for sharing. we’re also considering Kapolei, please make video , thanks..

[@movingtohawaii]

Let's work together if you haven't already purchased!! We have made a new kapolei video since then

[@jasonbabila6006]

I used to live in Waipahu and Ewa Beach before leaving Hawaii for good in 2000, my last visit in 2017 I did notice lots of changes, I have a brother and his family live close to Hau Bush and relatives living in Ewa close to Ft Weaver Rd.

[@ShaneDocPuff]

Grew up in the area back in the '80s from 1980-to 1992. Lived on what was military housing Paula and Iroquois point. Went to Iroquois Point elementary school, ʻIlima Intermediate School, and Campbell High School Freshman and sophomore years. My brother and I went back in 2021 after 29 years, and boy Ewa/Ewa Beach has changed big time. When I first moved there all we had as a few small local shops, a Mcdonald's, an eat-in Pizza Hut, Woolworths, and Food Land. By the time we moved it grew a little. Had a Taco Bell, a brand new McDonalds, where I had my first job and a subway. But that was it, everything else was sugar cane.

[@movingtohawaii]

Yessir Shane. On the mid 90’s gentry started developing and in the 2000’s it went crazy. Sugar cane is a low yield crop given the amount of water and land required so it was phased out over time and that land used for Hawaii’s housing shortage.

[@kruz2727ify]

Remember the school field trips? Alway to the sugarcane factory. Had to be told twenty times that it was the only railroad in Hawaii. Either that, or Dole.

[@christinehyde5448]

I grew up in Ewa Beach. Good video but you should have a second camera pointed out on the street too.

[@henryv.3272]

It is rude to turn down a perfectly good drink right???!!!! On a more serious note I am relocating in 2 weeks to Oahu. I have a room lined up for a few months while I find a permanent home. I would love to get in touch with you guys once I get my feet on the ground. Looking forward to meeting your team. Lastly it is Aug now so I'm sure that new years resolution is but a distant memory at this point.

[@movingtohawaii]

Aloha Henry. Let's go ahead and connect in advance to discuss your goals and yes, resolution has gone up in dust haha

[@movingtohawaii]

How are things tracking for you?

[@henryv.3272]

@@movingtohawaii I was not expecting a reply after this much time... Things are going well, thank you for asking. As far as my housing situation goes, I totally lucked out. I found a place in Wahiawa and we are definitely paying under market value, so it does not make sense to stir things up for us. We will say put for as long as we are on the island which right now is open ended. Thanks for checking in. H.

[@scottdavis6861]

Oh Braddah, good video. I looking to move to Aipoola Place in the West Loch area.

[@alwayskahn]

Oh man wish I saw this before I moved to HI. My kids had to switch schools 3 times.. between Illima and Kapolei middle... now they are in J.C High but this would have helped me a lot. Loving your stuff. Any insights on new stuff coming to HI? Like Chick-fil-A, Topgolf, and update on Molorail? I never see anyone riding in that rail...

[@movingtohawaii]

Glad you’re watching and finding value in our channel! As for new stores and restaurants coming to Hawaii, not really sure. Just keep your ears and eyes open and I’m sure you’ll hear something. That’s usually how it works here, people like to talk and share news, and we live on an island so word spreads fast. As for the Rail project, who knows! So many delays and budgeting issues. We do see the rail running a lot nowadays, but I think it’s just a bunch of tests. None of the stations look ready yet

[@irishb9993]

What?! There’s no ChckfillA in Hawaii???!! 😮

[@quest808]

Eh, u da 31fifty guy ah?! I remember seeing you around jiu jitsu tournaments. I still have one of your shirts. Miss your Brand 🥋🤙🏾

Thank you for this!

[@movingtohawaii]

If you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask! Mahalo for watching, Elena.

[@Mikey-Himself]

Thanks for making this. Wife and I are moving to the area, very interested in Ewa. This tour was very informative!

[@movingtohawaii]

Glad it was helpful! You'll be happy to know, we're actually releasing ANOTHER video on Ewa Beach this weekend. We're asked about Ewa so often we thought it would be helpful to answer more questions and show more of the neighborhood. Have you and your wife already picked out a few neighborhoods that interest you?

[@movingtohawaii]

Michael, mahalo for your service! We shot another Ewa Beach video as well. If you are looking for something in Ewa or the surrounding area under $900k reach out to me asap. I have some G14 classified info for you.

[@movingtohawaii]

Did you guys end up moving home?

[@neilyoungsoftandsweet]

amazing video you give great historical info that graveyard frm plantation days?? I passed it hundreds of times never knew but plantation days 1920 even Waipahu is old so early development came from plantations and nothing existed in Ewa in 1890 just village huts and stream living so amazing they brought in the rail there too and amazing they started the new rail there too which may never ever see 1 traveler it's a shame sad state of affairs now terrible days were living in now

[@kristygonzales4194]

Planning a move in July/August of this year! Thank you so much for these videos!! They are so helpful!! We may be in touch closer to our move day. Do you help with rentals? We want to get to know the island for a few years before we buy. Also do you help with the best shipping (container/car) companies?

[@movingtohawaii]

Aloha Kristy. We will do a video on car and container companies etc but they all end up on the same ships. It’s more about service, follow through, care for your stuff, and accountability for issues. They end up on the same ship in the middle of the pacific. We do have a video on rentals in our recent videos

[@kristygonzales4194]

Aloha and Mahalo for your reply!! Ok awesome!! Yes I found it and watched it earlier but forgot to update this comment😄 how much is the service fee to help with finding a rental? We are definitely interested😁

[@jonnuanez7183]

5:28 All those beautiful houses...then you see the Raiders logo there. 😂 Nice!!! Just win, baby...yeah!

10:20 Like Kuilima. "Turtle Bay"? Glad the Longs Drugs name was kept rather than renaming it to CVS. BTW, what does CVS stand for? I'll Google after posting this.

[@harveyh3696]

CVS Consumer Value Stores

[@havenhwang6204]

Great video! Very helpful😄 I have one question for you. I see there are some new developments at Hoopili in the same zip code and google map says there's going to be a elementary school? What's your thoughts? How's that area?

[@movingtohawaii]

I’m sorry this went I responded to for a while. I have a personal longtime friend who bought in Hoopili this year and they love it. Also, on of my agents has a goal of buying in Hoopili

[@movingtohawaii]

Did you end up in Ho'opili?

[@kanikipk2814]

Can you do a video similar for Kunia area?

[@movingtohawaii]

We visited Kunia in this video: Living Around Schofield Barracks & Wheeler Army Airfield - PCS to Hawaii kzbin.info/www/bejne/ppq6ioiPjNxqnq8 Watch that video and if you still have questions feel free to ask here in the comments or directly with a team member through our website: coreteamhawaii.com/ Mahalo for watching

[@jaredryono5981]

Where is a good place to live if you want to spear fish and shoreline fish would be interesting to me.

[@susana301301]

Houses in Hawaii all come with termites, they come with the house at no extra cost! Make sure you warn people about this when they are looking for homes.. Also lease land, you own the home, not the land, when the lease is up you don't own the land and your home is no longer yours. Lucky you live in Hawaii !

[@movingtohawaii]

Have you seen our video on pests? There’s two kinda of homes in Hawaii, ones that have termites and ones that will get termites

[@RyanSaldana]

Aww wanted to catch the manapua man by Campbell. I went to OLPH (sucks the school is gone) and can still taste the fried noodles and fried chicken.

[@movingtohawaii]

We actually went to the manapua man in our second Ewa Beach - Street Views video!

[@RyanSaldana]

@@movingtohawaii lol this notification popped up while i watching that video! 🤙 So many memories and so much is new/different (moved from Oahu to California in 93).

[@movingtohawaii]

Oh yeah! Ewa Beach will look very different to you if you visited today. I actually got lost a couple times in between Kapolei and Ewa Beach where there’s newer housing and shopping (Ocean Pointe, Keaunui Shopping Center, Ka Makana etc) Wonder what it’ll look like when my kids grow up! - Kenji

[@harveyh3696]

16:58 Safeway, perhaps the least expensive gas on the Islands.

[@movingtohawaii]

True that

[@suyunkim1473]

Hi! Here is military family will be moving to Oahu, Mililani vs. West loch/Waipahu, which area is better to buy single home? We would like to rent it out after we leave. Work place will be Hickam, so please let me know anything about commute, town, school, easier to rent out to military, weather, etc., Thank you in advance!

[@movingtohawaii]

Aloha! And thanks for reaching out with these great questions. We absolutely love assisting families moving to Oahu. The commute from Mililani to Hickam is similar to the commute from West Loch to Hickam when we consider commute time - around 18-30mins depending on traffic. That time is an estimate for morning traffic around 6:00AM. Traffic after work (or as we say here 'pau hana traffic') however, could be very different. As our state is beginning to get back to "normal" so are traffic patterns. Typically, late afternoon road conditions on the H1 West on weekdays are bad. (Pro-Tip: Make sure to use the restroom before getting in your car, and have an audio book or playlist ready to go). From Hickam to the H1/H2 offramp - it doesn't matter if you're living in Mililani or West Loch, because you're on the same route. The difference is after the H1/H2 offramp. If you're going home to Mililani, you'll take the H2 offramp which may lead to faster moving traffic than the H1 West traffic. If you're going home to West Loch, you'll stay on the H1 West, which is known to be slow moving during late afternoon weekday hours. Not only that, once you do finally make it past Waikele and take the Ewa Exit - Fort Weaver road can be backed up as well, adding to your overall commute time. I know this only addresses one of your many inquiries. Truthfully, we can talk about this all day long! But, we respect your time and just want to let you know that we'd be more than happy to jump on a call at your earliest convenience. Please contact us anytime! Phone number is listed in the video description. Or feel free to continue our conversation via email: [e-mail]

[@suyunkim1473]

[@tomfrazier1103]

Leeward Estates 4 lyph. 1959-60 single wall out, many have been monsterized. How old is this? The slaughterhouse is long closed & totally razed.. Long before Zippys arrived. Lived there '01-'15, The train was the largest on Oahu, a narrow gauge 1890s-1946. There's a good Catholic school in 'Ewa Beach, near Leeward Estate, Our Lady of Perpetual Help. In a Longs in Henderson Nev. I saw a Hawaiian aisle, real local stuffs, not tourist. Newport Beach, Ewa, it's coming. Conversation stops several times an hour for "One 'Ewa approach" Renton road, very plantation, 1890-1995, the Sugar mill, what's left of it, other pre-War houses. Fiestas off Ft. Weaver-da kine Mexican, what real Mexicans would eat.
