Ewa Plain

About Ewa Plain Real Estate

If you are looking for newer-looking neighborhoods, consider Ewa Beach real estate (Ewa is pronounced “ehvah”).  The community of Ewa is located on the southwest side of Oahu and is a huge plain of newer subdivision homes.  If you drive along the two main roadways (Ft. Weaver Rd. and Kapolei Parkway), you will see models for new homes which are still being built.

 

Ewa is now a large, fairly new community with Queen’s Medical Center and Laulani Village Shopping Center, several strip malls, golf courses, parks and a lot of beach front property.  What’s exciting are the plans for Haseko Development’s waterfront retail, dining and entertainment center at Ewa Beach.  Haseko Development plans to build the 215,000-square-foot complex at its Hoakalei property, Wai Kai at Hoakalei.  This shopping and resort complex would include at least 110 retail establishments and shops, a 10,000 sq.ft. specialty market and a 15,000 sq.ft. health club and spa.  Its targeted date of completion is the end of 2019 or 2020.

Developers are continuing to build more homes, and cannot keep up with the demand for new construction.   While Ewa and Ewa Beach is not really next door to the military bases or large employers, it is an attractive, large community of distinct subdivisions.  The nice thing is that a few neighborhoods such as Ocean Pointe are still eligible for 100% USDA rural financing.  (Ocean Pointe does not look rural.  However, the most recent Census statistics show that the area is not heavily populated.)

 

The weather is definitely sunny, and there are many parks which dot the neighborhoods.  Plenty of family homes are available, and every park seems to have children playing on the playground equipment with adults nearby.

Originally, a very nice town developed around sugar, one friend remembers Ewa as “back then it was a small community, caring and friendly…you could leave your doors unlocked and feel safe.  As a childhood, I remember looking forward to the Santa parade through the neighborhood and a party in the gym.”

Today, tourists can catch the small train and take a ride to Kapolei listening to the guide reminisce about the sugar days.

Parks and Recreation in Ewa Plain

Ewa Plain is commonly considered the newest area of Oahu for newly developed homes and has a diverse set of attractions.

 

Oahu Railway and Land Company

Enjoyable for both young and old alike.  Take a ride onboard a steam locomotive, and see how Oahu was developed.

 

At its peak, the railway was approximately 160 miles in length and move the agriculture from the fields to the docs and local factories.  The rail has served multiple purposes on the island, from military and civilian transportation in World War II to construction materials during the Ewa Plain build up.

 

The Hawaiian Railway Society now hosts guided train rides on Sundays, year-round.  Definitely worth an excursion to gain an interesting perspective on Oahu and the Ewa Plain specifically.

 

Golf Courses

Ewa Plain also has several golf courses that are available for locals and tourists alike.  Kapolei and Ko O’lina have both hosted various PGA and LPGA events, and there are many options available for players of every skill level.

When considering the history of the Islands, be sure to pay your respects to the ancient settlers of Oahu through the many burial sites and religious artifacts which have been discovered.

There is currently a proposal in the state legislature which would establish the West Oahu Historic District.
