The Ewa Beach, Oahu, Hawaii area grew and developers built many new construction homes starting from the early 1990's. The communities in Ewa bloomed with the housing boom and there were several styles, communities and townhomes to be had during this time.
During the last few years the Ewa Homes and Townhouse/Condo Market Prices went down considerably in this area and sales numbers were still booming to get a piece of that Ewa Beach area pie. Prices are now at an all time low and with interest rates now at an all time low as well it is surely a great time to buy your home in Ewa Paradise.
Located on our Southwestern shore of Oahu, the Ewa Beach area has beaches (One'ula and Ewa Beach Park and now open Iriquois Point), surfing spots, parks, golf courses, recreation centers and shopping centers to accommodate the still growing communities in Ewa.
In some Ewa Gentry Communities there are associations with maintenance fees. Though these homes are single family homes they are within a “condo ownership association”. Previously I spoke with the on-site manager of the Ewa Gentry Las Brisas, Ewa GentryTiburon, Ewa Gentry Terrazza, Ewa Gentry Sun Terra, Ewa Gentry Montecito/Tuscany to inquire what their monthly maintenance fees take care of.
Monthly Maintenance fees for these Ewa Gentry Associations take care of:
-
Water and Sewer Fees. The Honolulu Board of Water Supply bills residents every two months although this association includes the water/sewer bill in their maintenance fees.
-
Termite treatment - After the current contract is up with the liquid treatment they're moving on to the Sentricon System. -
Community Pool and Recreation area (They have gazebos, tables, chairs a large pool and the Community Office)
-
Parks and landscaping around the community (There are several playgrounds and grassy areas for play, relaxing or to have a picnic)
-
Bulk of the homeowners insurance (just like condos ...you will still need to get insurance for the inside of the home)
-
Roads and street lights within the community (nicely paved roads and street light maintenance make for a better community too!)
-
Pet Waste Receptacles (including disposable bags and trash cans to keep the community beautiful!)
If you are Retiring to paradise, Military Relocating to Hawaii, Relocating due to a job change, or just a change in lifestyle you'll find that you will get more bang for your buck in the Ewa Gentry areas.

It looks like a lovely community!
I could feel the warm breeze and smell the salt in your photos Sally. I gotta get out there and visit one of these days. So beautiful.
Hmmm...it's looking like I MAY be able to one day afford to finally move to your area--that is if the prices remain the same for the next few years!! LOVE your photos; you just make me want to hop on the next plane!
Your area is so beautiful! The warm breezes. I close my eyes and I can visualize the clear blue sky and hear the waves crashing along the shores. Some day I will have my second home in your community. What an incredible paradise!
Sally,
Great market report on EWA's single family and condomiums. You do a wonderful job selling "paradise."
Best,
Steve

Sally--I love the beach scene. I want to come back to paradise someday. Sooner rather than later.
Good localism post.
HI Sally,
Glad to see you showing the affordable side of Hawaii, it was my personal impression that Hawaii, was way out of the league of many "regular people", but you are showing a much "brighter side"
Thanks
Sally - with those beautiful photos, who could possibly resist wanting to purchase there??
You are letting out the secret, that Hawaii is not as expensive as people think.
