Master-planned area with trendy houses and convenience
Located 3 miles from the Mamala Bay shores, Ewa Gentry is a census-designated area with several master-planned communities. Built by Gentry Homes, the area is usually called “Ewa” by locals. This community has modern houses known for being more budget-friendly than other island areas. “Gentry has built out the Ewa neighborhood. People move to Ewa Gentry because of the single-family homes and HOA management,” says Isaiah Cureton, owner and broker at Hawaii Real Estate Professionals. “Many people like the aesthetic look; they have greenery that’s well managed. They have the neighborhood pools.” Residents enjoy a coastal lifestyle, surrounded by several golf courses and palm trees, and live down the road from sandy beaches and clear waters. Shopping and transportation are also nearby in Kapolei. “Ewa is where everyone lives, and Kapolei is where people shop, and that’s only 10 to 15 minutes away,” Cureton says. The population of Ewa Gentry hovers around 25,000 people, according to the 2020 U.S. Census. Ewa Gentry also has a large military presence.
The newly built Hoopili master planned neighborhood sits on Ewa's eastern border.
Single family and townhomes are abundant in Ewa.

Contemporary homes on wider roads than the rest of the city
Ewa Gentry is made up of several master-planned subdivisions. “Ewa has a lot more breathing room. When Gentry bought the area, they built these wide roads whereas other neighborhoods are not as wide,” Cureton says. Condos and townhouses are north of Geiger Road. These are usually two to three-bedroom places with garages and walking distance to parks. Subdivisions like Sun Terra and Sandalwood offer single-family homes by the golf course. Ewa by Gentry has several community amenities, like a clubhouse and a swimming pool. These homes are usually contemporary properties with light color exteriors. The median price for a single-family home is $878,000, which is $520,000 less than the median price for Honolulu. The median price for townhouses and condos is $775,000 and $503,000, respectively. “People are friendly, and it’s neighborly; they do a parade every quarter,” Cureton says. “I always see kids selling things for football or Girl Scout Cookies.”
West Oahu offers many newer, high-end condos and apartments.

Home to two golf courses and several community parks
Ewa Gentry offers several parks and golfing opportunities. There are four community parks in the region, including Geiger Community Park, which has several athletic courts and a playground. Residents can also enjoy the pool, which has swimming lessons for all ages. Pups can run around at the Hoalauna Dog Park, and bikers can ride along Fort Weaver Road, which goes down to Ewa Beach. Golf courses are plentiful in Ewa Gentry; Coral Creek Golf Course and Barber Point Golf Course are open to the public and within city limits. Hawaii Prince Golf Club has three nine-hole courses, and nearby beaches include Nimitz Beach, which is open to the public despite being on Marine Corps property. One’ula Beach Park is a popular destination for surfing and sunsets, while Pu’uloa Beach Park is a relaxing beach day and swim spot.

Ride the wave at Wai Kai water park
Ewa Gentry is 3 miles from Wai Kai, a water park and entertainment destination. Visitors can paddleboard, kayak or hydro bike on the park’s lagoon, or learn to surf at the Wai Kai Wave, an attraction that mirrors river surfing waves. Kids can run around the inflatable water playground. Wai Kai also hosts several events. “They have weekly farmers market,” Cureton says. “There’s a big grassy area where they throw concerts.”

Shopping on Fort Weaver Road and Kapolei
Ewa Gentry is close to shopping plazas and restaurants. The Ewa Town Center is in the heart of the neighborhood, offering a few restaurants and a Foodland grocer. Laulani Village Shopping Center, further south of this street, has a Ross Dress for Less and Chinese and American restaurants. Ka Makana Ali’i is an outdoor mall that’s 2 miles east. The mall has over 100 stores, restaurants and attractions. National retailers include Old Navy, Victoria’s Secret and Macy’s. Folks can also catch the latest in Hollywood at Olino by Consolidated Theatres. The mall also hosts a farmers market every Wednesday and Saturday, where locals can enjoy fresh produce, treats and handmade merchandise. Kapolei has several box stores like Target, Walmart and Costco.
There are several retail outlets along Fort Weaver Road.

Neighbors walk around with Sabers Pride
The Hawaii Public Schools, also called the Hawaii Department of Education, earns an A-minus grade from Niche. Ewa Gentry is associated with the Leeward District, which serves the Campbell and Kapolei communities. Students will likely begin at Holomua Elementary, followed by Ewa Makai Middle and Campbell High, home of the Sabers. “People have a lot of pride in the local high school. You see people walking around in Sabers jerseys all the time,” Cureton says.
Downtown access through Interstate H-1
Most residents are likely to work in the downtown. Drivers can take Highway 76 or Fort Weaver Road north to connect to Interstate H-1. The busiest interstate in the state goes directly to Honolulu. “During the mornings, you can go into a separate lane for electric vehicles or if you have multiple people in the vehicle. They call those zipper lanes that go very fast,” Cureton says. “But they don’t open those lanes in the evening, so going home is harder around 2:30 is when traffic starts.” Kapolei Parkway travels east to west through Kapolei. Residents have a few public transportation options. Bus stops are spread throughout the development. The Kualaka’i East Kapolei Station is 3 miles away for those wanting to take the subway into the city. Daniel K. Inouye International Airport is the nearest major airport offering several nonstop flights to east and west coast cities, including Los Angeles and New York City. The Queen’s Medical Center-West Oahu campus is north of the city for health services.
Highway 1 connects Ewa to Pearl City and Honolulu.

44% less crime than 2022
Ewa Gentry is serviced by the Honolulu Police Department, which covers all of Oahu. Crime dropped by 44% between 2022 and 2023 in Ewa Gentry. The area’s climate is dry compared to other parts of Oahu because of the side of the mountain it’s on; however, irrigation systems help maintain its greenery.
Kapolei Middle School, like many other public schools on the west side of Oahu, benefit from a newer build and spacious grounds.
The Ewa Gentry Festival is held yearly at Ewa Community Park.
