Beautiful condo.
Positives:
- Located literally across Ala Moana. If you ever want to go you can cross the street and walk over. There's no need to spend an hour looking for parking during peak times like Christmas!
- Always clean. The maintenance fee is well worth it here. The gardens are always trimmed, grass clean, pool deck maintained, and floors spotless.
- The building has an infinity pool! AND it's heated. Not jacuzzi hot, but warm enough to dive into at night. I love the view the pool area has too. It's a little industrial since the mall is right there, but you get a prime spot for fireworks and sunset lighting.
- The amenities are nice. On top of the pool, there's a nice tennis court, a playground for the kids, BBQ area, and jacuzzi. There's also a "fake park" made into the building where you can sit and I think your dogs are allowed there.
- Since it's close to the mall, it's close to Ward as well. That also means close to food. You can get a bite from any of those malls or at one of the many restaurants in the area without having to drive. You can even do grocery shopping at the Foodland at Ala Moana or Nijiya Market.
Negatives:
- Like a lot of condos, there isn't enough guest parking for the amount of units. I think there are like around 10 or less stalls. So if those are taken your guests have to find street parking which is limited in the area.
- The unit size is pretty small for the price. But that's how all these luxury condos in the area are. The penthouse here is nice, but get ready to spend some $$$.
- No lanais. So if you enjoy a patio then forget-about-it.
So, not too many downfalls about this place other than the price. It's pretty noise free and super convenient. If you're looking at investing into a luxury condo, I suggest this place as one to see. read more
