Affordable Hawaii Lifestyle On Oahu

Recently a friend of mine said to me, “How can you afford to live in Hawaii?”

I would like to highlight a few “key” points about living here on Oahu:

• Property taxes for residents of Oahu, Hawaii are approximately (.342% of the home’s assessed value)
• Hawaii does not collect income tax on US military pensions
• Sales tax on Oahu is 4.5%

• A median priced home in West Oahu (near Honolulu and the beach) is approximately $450,000. Check out some homes at Ocean Point in West Oahu.
• You can buy a brand new custom built, energy efficient home in a “Resort Marina” development such as “Hoakalei” starting at approximately $500,000
• All your “Big Box” outlets are here: Costco, Wal-Mart, Target, Home Depot…etc.
