$325K Condo or $1.085M House? Two Amazing Opportunities

Two Oahu listings in one day: a freshly renovated 22nd-floor 2-bed condo at Pearl One in Aiea listed at $325,000, and a 4-bed, 2-bath single-family home in Wahiawa at $1,085,000.

We start at Pearl One on Koauka Loop — new flooring, fresh paint, new appliances, a renovated bath, and a full wall of closet storage. The unit sits near the top of the building with views of Pearl Harbor, the Arizona Memorial, the golf course, the mountains, and the Skyline rail.

Then we head up to Wahiawa to walk a home a colleague has listed: a 2,100 sq ft, 4-bed, 2-bath house on roughly a 7,200 sq ft lot, with a sunken den, a 10-foot kitchen island, indoor laundry, a split AC system, a private fenced backyard, and a front porch. We break down why Wahiawa runs cooler than Ewa Beach, what non-HOA actually means next to a master-planned community like Mililani, and what this same house and lot would cost a few miles south.

Kenji also sits down for a short interview about actually living on Koauka Loop — what worked, what didn't, and how the answer changes depending on your stage of life.
