Waianae
Located on the west side of Oahu, Waianae was founded in 1907. One feature that Waianae is known for is the ruined walls of Ku’ilioloa Heiau. Virtually surrounded by water, this three-tiered structure is said to mark the place where the first coconut tree brought from Tahiti was planted in Hawaii. According to legend, Kamehameha offered sacrifices here before launching his first invasion attempt against Kauai.
Popular beaches in Waianae are Wai‘anae Kai Military Reservation Beach and Nene‘u Beach. Due to the breakwaters constructed to protect the boat harbor at its northern end, the main sandy beach in Waianae is the only one on the Leeward Coast where swimming is safe year round. There are also many parks including the Pililaau Community Park, Waianae Regional Park, and Kaupuni Neighborhood Park. Waianae hosts the Waikiki Artfest (I don’t think this is correct) as well as the Thomas Square Artfest every year. For shopping, the Waianae Mall Shopping Center is a popular tourist location.
Real estate on Waianae offers many types and styles of homes for sale, such as single family detached, townhomes and condominiums. The town is also known for its community events and outdoor activities. Just 22 miles northwest of Honolulu, it’s an attractive bedroom community for many residents looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life.

She was always so prompt with emails, house listings and also giving us an unbiased and honest opinion. She’s extremely knowledgeable about real estate and was constantly patient if we had any questions. She would always make sure that we could get the most bout of our money and would constantly be negotiating for us with our best interests at heart.

“As first-time home buyers, I couldn’t have asked for a better realty than Team-Lally!Three months prior to moving to Hawaii from the mainland, we began our search online by looking at pictures and viewing videos of current listings in Kaneohe and Kailua. We were so fortunate to have Team Lally as our agent. Team Lally was knowledgeable, patient, and honest; they even went out of their way to record videos of a few homes. Via e-mail and over the phone, they addressed all my questions and concerns. By the time we arrived, we were so well prepared and closed on the house we wanted in no time! If we buy or sell again, we are definitely calling Team Lally”

“Aloha, I am in the Coast Guard and my husband is a self employed landscaper, together we are very hard workers, but we aren’t the only ones. Team Lally is a hardworking real estate team who deliver exception customer service, care about their customers needs, remain patient and cater to customers ultimate desire. We purchased a beautiful home in Makakilo August 2012. When Team Lally showed us the house for the first time, we said “this is the one we want and we will wait a year if we have to.” Team Lally understood our end desire, accommodated us, and didn’t try to detour us into another purchase. They remained patient and informative through the short sale process and in the end, six months later, we got the house we wanted and felt relieved that we had an outstanding team who assisted us in making our dreams come true. Thank you Team Lally, I will always refer your team and I hope others will trust in your team as we did. Mahalo Crystal & Sandro”
