Well-appointed suburb in central Oahu with public amenities
Master-planned in the 1960s as a modern suburb, Mililani Town, also called Mililani, offers a convenient town center, proximity to major military bases and plenty of recreation options. Meaning “beloved heaven” in Hawaiian, Milani is a tree-lined, sidewalked community that took shape on former pineapple fields. Today, it has its own exit off the H-2 freeway, making it easy to reach the rest of Oahu from its central-island position.
In Mililani Town, residents drive into North Shore in 10 miles and to Downtown Honolulu in 15. Because it rests between the Ko’olau and Waianae mountain ranges, the fertile landscape surrounding Mililani still supports vast agricultural property. Mililani is Hawaii’s only city awarded the National Civic League’s All-America City award in 1986 for its high-tech filtration of community water.
Says Michael Pieklo, Realtor with Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Advantage Realty North Shore, who grew up on Oahu and has been selling homes in the area for 7 years, “Mililani has a lot of the same attraction as nearby Wahiawa, but the homes are a bit newer. You’re not far from the North Shore, and the elevation is a bit higher, so temps are comfortably cooler.” More than a dozen different houses of worship dot the community, and essential services are easy-reach, including Straub Medical Center and the Ke Ola Pet Hospital.
When don’t have to leave Mililani to shop, dine or golf. Military families can reach both Schofield and Wheeler Army bases within a short 5-mile drive. The main Meheula Parkway leads in and out of the community, winding past parks and schools, all the way back to an organic nursery.
And while locals can walk to the Town Center at Mililani for dinner and a movie, Mililani’s vibe is decidedly more suburban than the walkable urban enclaves closer to the coast. No festivals close roads down here, but families do head to the open-air courtyard at the mall for fun hometown holiday celebrations.

Homes from condos to single-family and Mililani Township Association
Miliani offers a variety of subdivisions and home styles, from townhouses in Nob Hill to single-family homes is Na Hale, built with a contemporary spin on Hawaiian plantation style. The neighborhood’s open layout treats homeowners to loads of natural light, and spacious lots are planted with tall palms. Adds Pieklo, “Architecture in Miliani is very unique. You’ll see high-peaked roofs and a lot of multifamily developments. And everyone there pays a monthly fee to belong to the Mililani Township Association which gets you access to all the public amenities. But it also means there are some restrictions to ensure curb appeal.”
Homes here are older than in neighboring Mililani Makau on the other side of H-2, and many single-family styles have carports. Condos average between $400,000 and $450,000, and townhouses ask between $450,000 and $700,000. Single-family homes fetch from $900,000 to $1.2 million based on size and build date.

Public recreation centers, Mililani District Park, Mililani Golf Club
Recreation centers boast their own unique amenities. The central Recreation Center 1, known as Rec 1, features water park-style slides, and Rec 2 is where residents take swim lessons or play basketball and ping pong. Rec 3 is the pickleball place, and Rec 4 is the only center with a colorful splash park situated near two circular pools.
Locals walk dogs and ride at the skatepark in the 16-acre Mililani District Park, equipped with lighted baseball diamonds and a soccer field. Golfers play rounds at the public Mililani Golf Club. Pieklo explains, “It’s more suburban than sort of old-school Wahiawa, with more of a planning essence because it has public green spaces spread all throughout and even an in-line hockey outdoor skating rink.”
Mililani Town's Golf Club's green is quite lush.
This part of the island is full of sports facilities for youth sports.

Town Center of Mililani blends dining, movies and shopping
Across from Mililani High, the Town Center of Mililani is an open-air, walkable collection of eateries and retailers where kids play in the courtyard and fountains bubble up next to red café umbrellas. Zippy’s is a neighborhood staple for burgers and pasta, and both family-centric and date-night options include Cookie Corner, Chili’s, California Pizza Kitchen and Assaggio Mililani for romantic Italian-style meals. There’s also a 14-theater cineplex in the center for movie buffs. Town Center is the community fulcrum for errands, outings, gym workouts and holiday fun from an Easter petting zoo to a Christmas Parade after-party.
Across the parking lot, Walmart is the anchor for daily essentials. The shopping and dining scene isn’t exactly trendy, but there’s a wide selection of known favorites, and most people drive to and from the community’s plazas or to grocery shop at Safeway in Mililani Marketplace. Military employees have the option to shop at the commissary just 5 miles north.
The community’s most unique shopping experience is Mari’s Gardens – a 17.5-acre organic growers’ market specializing in sustainable farming in expansive greenhouses. Their on-site farmers market stocks soil, pots, pavers and plants for home gardening as well as fresh eggs, chocolates, organic produce and gifts. Family-owned by landscaper-farmers, Mari’s mission is to bring more organic food to Hawaii using modern, efficient growing practices.
