Manoa Real Estate
Everybody loves Manoa, except those who don't.
Manoa is a beautiful lush green suburban city in the heart of Honolulu. To some, it's the best option in or near town with lots of character and plenty of rain. The houses are typically older with a lot of charm, along streets lined with huge mature trees, grand views of the mountains nearby, and again, a ton of rain. The quaint little shopping center and the coffee shops are also a nice ammenity. Lots of UH students hang out here, because the main University campus is right in Manoa.
Manoa gets over 200 inches of rain a year, which is what makes it so incredibly beautiful and incredibly wet. When you think of Hawaii, maybe you think of a tropical rain forest with giant trees and lots of green everywhere. You're thinking of a place like Manoa. Unfortunately most of Hawaii is not that way. In fact, on the Ewa or Kapolei side, you might be surprised at how brown and dead everything is. It looks a lot like California in the summer. Sometimes on the Ewa side of the island, you would think there was no rain all year.
But the rain is what makes Manoa so great. And the rain is what some people hate. It rains almost everyday and every night, especially in the winter. As you drive around Manoa though, you'll understand why people love it so much. When people first move to Hawaii it's the ocean that they love the most, but after you have lived here for a while, the lush tropical valleys and mountains will start to appeal to you more and more.
