Pearl City is a suburban community located about ten miles northwest of Downtown Honolulu on the north shore of Pearl Harbor. A thriving commercial district operates along Kamehameha Highway on the south end of the community, with several major shopping centers clustered in this area. The rest of Pearl City is largely filled by tranquil residential neighborhoods, which begin to blend in with the forests and foothills as you go north.
The area enjoys a convenient central location among some of O’ahu’s busiest employers and most popular attractions: The close proximity to both Wheeler Army Air Field and Joint Base Pearl Harbor – Hickam makes Pearl City a great option for armed service members and civilian military employees seeking off-base housing, and easy access to the entire Honolulu area makes life easy on capital city commuters.
