Hello,
As some of you know I will be moving to the Waikiki area this coming August in order to begin my job in early September.
I just arrived back from a 10 day stay in Waikiki and during that time I saw many different apartment buildings and looked at many different rentals.
I did see one apartment that I liked (and more importantly that I can afford to rent) in the Canal House building at 2611 Ala Wai Boulevard. I was wondering if anyone on this site knows the area or the building. If so could you please share with me your thoughts? I am just out of college so clearly I’m not looking for top line luxury or anything…just a safe place to live. The building is secured with a key to enter and to move the elevator, and the parking garage is gated, there is no guard on the premises.
I drove around the area at night and it seemed sort of on the quiet side which can be both a good and bad thing I know…but I didn’t see anything that would scare me away from the building completely. I know that because it is on the edge of Waikiki it is not as convenient as some of the more centrally located apartment complexes however it did seem to have plenty of buses pass by (which is a plus since I will probably not have a car) and isn’t too far a walk from where I will be working (Kuhio Ave and Royal Hawaiian Ave).
Any advice you can share would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
