Aikahi
Aikahi is one of Kailua's signature pockets — its own price point, personality, and pace inside the larger Kailua community.
About Aikahi
Aikahi sits at the northern edge of Kailua, right outside the back gate of Marine Corps Base Hawaii, and it's the most base-adjacent neighborhood in Kailua by a clear margin. Most homes date to the 1960s, slab-construction ranch-style single-family homes on a grid of suburban streets, plus the Aikahi Garden condominium complex for buyers who want a lower entry point. The neighborhood's boundaries run Mokapu Drive to the east and Kaneohe Bay Drive to the south, with the Nu'upia Pond wetland forming a natural edge to the north. Its uniform, suburban layout is a deliberate draw for mainland families who want something more familiar than Kailua's older beach-town blocks.
