Waikiki (Spouting Water) is the hubbub of Hawaii's billion dollar tourist industry and is also world famous for it's 2 mile long beach resort. It is one of the most densely populated areas on earth boasting about 100 condominium buildings and with a high concentration of restaurants, shopping, nightlife and hotels. Surprisingly though, nearly half of Waikiki's beaches are backed by luscious green parks with plenty of locales for tourists, sport enthusiasts and locals to enjoy such as the Ala Wai Golf Course, Honolulu Zoo, Waikiki Aquarium, tennis courts and much more. Waikiki is currently undergoing a "rebirth" with major renovations and rebranding making for exciting dramatic changes inviting not only tourists but the local community to experience major face-lifts such as the Beachwalk with new shops, restaurants and hotels either under construction or renovations such as the Waikiki Trump Tower, Regency on the Beachwalk, The Ilikai, Hilton Hawaiian Village and The Allure to name a few.   Homes in Waikiki vary in price ranges and consist almost exclusively of high rise condominium units varying from LEASEHOLD studios starting at $100,000 to FEE SIMPLE fully furnished condotel units and luxurious million dollar penthouses with sweeping panaromic Diamond Head views. 
Prestigious neighborhoods Kahala, Black Point, Diamond Head and Hawaii Loa Ridge are located at the East end of Waikiki near Kapiolani Park and the slopes of Diamond Head Crater and are referred to as the Gold Coast. |
