Oahu is one of the biggest islands on Hawaii. This beautiful island is considered as a wonderful place to reside. It has great climate which suits the needs of all. If you are looking for place that is less than hour drive to countryside, then Oahu is one such destination. It has variety of diverse recreational activities, which includes windsurfing, sailing, golf, world-class surfing, kite surfing, paddling, tennis & hiking. For sociable people, there are different communities with their own character. It has small group of minorities (i.e. people from different countries) and they live up their spirits. They believe in harmony and prefer unity. It is due to their efforts that have made Oahu a great place to live. Even tourists who visit the place are amazed to see the preservation of rich flora and fauna here.

Some of you might find food here to be very expensive and yes it is. 90% of the food in Oahu is imported and you can buy the food from one of the chain stores there. Buying the food from regular market can be really expensive. If you think to have your meals from a good restaurant then check out their price menu before ordering a lavish meal.

To some cost of living may appear to be high but here you pay for quality living. The prices here of town houses and apartments vary from place to place. So when you contact a real estate agent for Oahu real estate asks him about the posh areas and middle class areas. They both are equally good but you need to check your pockets and budgets as well.

Barb asked:


My family will be transferring there (we can choose between the two islands) and I am concerned that I’ve only heard negatives about the schools in Hawaii. I have a strongly academic 8th grader, and a rather non-academic 4th grader who needs to be challenged and pushed. Would this move be dooming them academically?
