Neighborhood

Seeming to rise from the ocean like the mountain peaks that surround it, Downtown Honolulu is a business hub in the middle of paradise. This stunning mix of modern buildings, historic landmarks, and verdant landscape provides the ultimate lifestyle – surf or enjoy the beaches on weekends and walk to work in this capital city during the week.

Some of the most important historic locations in Oahu are located in Downtown Honolulu, including Iolani Place, the Aloha Tower, and the King Kamehameha I statue. Iolani Place, built in 1882, has the distinction of being the only royal palace in the United States. Other important destinations include Hawai’i Pacific University, the Hawaii State Art Museum, and Kakaako Waterfront Park.

Downtown Honolulu is divided into several smaller districts. As you look at apartments in Honolulu, be sure to take note of them: the Capitol District, Chinatown, the Waterfront, and the Central Business District.
