Kaonohi St, 'Aiea

Kaonohi Street is rooted on Kamehameha Highway near Pearlridge Center, a very busy and sometimes congested retail center in Leeward Oahu. At one end, then, a huge variety of shopping and dining options that mean you don't have to venture far from home. And Kaonohi Street runs high into the mountains above Pearl Harbor, with spectacular views of the harbor much of the way up to the top. Apart from two high-rise residential condiminiums, most of the lower end of Kaonohi Street is multi-family, multi-unit townhomes. As you climb higher, though, they give way to older, large-lot single-family homes. Though this is not a new neighborhood, some properties are extremely desirable and have prices to match.

There are wide sidewalks and a handful of parks, with plenty of young families, especially along the lower slope.

Walking is a bit of a challenge given the steep incline, and the fact that Kaonohi Street terminates at Moanalua Road and Kamehameha Highway can mean some significant traffic during daily commutes.
