While homes in Hawaii are some of the most expensive in the country, that also means that buying a house here in Hawaii can help you a great deal when you move to other cheaper areas. I've worked with families who bought a small condo here in Hawaii, and when they were transferred to Texas, they were able to buy a HUGE house for less. The great thing was that their home here in Hawaii had gained so much equity that the house they bought in Texas had almost no mortgage!

There are several military bases in Hawaii, which means there are military families everywhere! 10% of the population of Hawaii is military!
There are several bases in Hawaii, all over the island of Oahu, so you want to find a home that is near enough to your base to allow you to commute. You'll be surprised at the traffic in Honolulu, especially during rush hour, and especially travelling to and from the west side, the Ewa side of Oahu. If you're fortunate enough to get stationed in Oahu, you'll probably get enough housing allowance to buy something that your family will love.

Army Bases in Hawaii - 34,755 Total people
Ft Shafter
Schofield Barracks
Tripler Medical Center

There are so many medical personell at Tripler that it's hard to recognize that it's military sometimes. You just see doctors, nurses, and other health care workers everywhere. The main thing you'll notice is that it's a giant pink building that looks like a resort. If you're stationed at Tripler, you can live almost anywhere on the island, because it is near the H1 and H3 freeways. I have found that a lot of Army doctors and nurses like to live in Kailua, which is just over the hill on the H3. Kailua is a great little town that feels a lot like mainland beach towns.

For Schofield, you probably want to live in Mililani or the North Shore. The great thing about that is that housing in the Mililani area is very new and cheaper than in Honolulu proper. In fact it's cheaper than most of the island, and in better condition overall. There are a lot of nice newer houses and condos in Mililani, so military families tend to love that area. Mililani Mauka is one of the few master planned communities in Hawaii.

Navy Bases in Hawaii 45,705 Total people
Pacific Missile Range Facility
Naval Computer and Telecommuncations Area Master Station
Pearl Harbor Naval complex

There are more Navy personell in Hawaii than any other branch of the military. Granted, a lot of these are civilians at Pearl Harbor or E1's and E2's, so they may not be looking to buy a house in Hawaii. For Naval officers and E5's and higher, buying a house in Hawaii is a wonderful added blessing to being stationed here. Since many homes in Hawaii have an ocean view and easy marina access, Hawaii is a wonderful place for Navy personell to live. For those who love the ocean, what better place could there be than Hawaii? Here's an interesting fact: there are over 9000 civilians that work at Pearl Harbor.

Marine Corp Base in Hawaii 16,906 Total people
Kaneohe Bay

Kaneohe Bay Marine Corp base is the 2nd largest base on the island, in terms of active duty personell. Like a town in itself, Kaneohe Bay has everything from grocery stores to a golf course, to movie theaters. You almost forget you're in Hawaii until you see the most beautiful ocean views you've ever seen. There are many homes and condos around Kaneohe Bay that make military living very easy. Kaneohe and Kailua are wonderful places to live, very family friendly, and there are plenty of military personell everywhere. In fact some of the schools have a large percentage of military kids. Shopping for a home around Kaneohe Bay can be very fun for military, because there are really beautiful homes around the bay.

Air Force Bases in Hawaii 17,461 Total people
Bellows Air Force Station
Hickam Air Force Base
Wheeler Army Field

The Air Force has a very strong presence in Hawaii, with 2 main bases, Hickam and Bellows, and one smaller one Wheeler. Hickam is located very central to Honolulu, right where all the traffic converges. It can be a grueling commute in and out of Hickam if you live too far. That's why I recommend that Hickam personell live in close areas like Waipio Gentry. There is housing very close to Hickam, but it's usually not as nice as the newer areas in Waipio. I recently sold a nice home to an O3 that was very new and in a nice neighborhood. We had looked all over Honolulu, but found that going just a few minutes out of the area gave us better options.
