Funny I estimated 500 sq ft too. I had a 620 sq ft condo with a patio before I got married and I had a lot of empty floor space. (Breakfast bar = no need for a dining room ).

Recommendations? Full sale 100-200k with a lanai.

A thumbs up for Central Oahu. We are one block from a hospital, shopping center, restaurants. It is an urban atmosphere but so is Waikiki. A 2Br, 2Bath, with pool, parking and 24 hr security is under 2K/month. Six or so miles to the airport and about 12/13 miles to downtown. You may want to contact a realtor/property manager for reliable information vs Craig's List.

Good luck.

We relocated from a smaller town in the Pacific Northwest to Makaha (adjacent to Waianae), love it and haven't regretted it for a minute. Please be aware that you may feel at times as though you're a stranger in a strange land, because you are! However, relocating is what you make of it. My main advice to anyone thinking of moving to Hawaii, Waianae, Makaha is this: 1. you MUST be able to accept Hawaii on its terms (part 50th state, part third-world country). The folks who seem to do well here keep an open mind and have an adventurous spirit; 2. Try a long-term (2-3 months) stay before you move. Residing in Hawaii is not like vacationing here; 3. Seriously consider the reasons and pluses and minuses of the move. Make a list, take a good long, hard look at your lifestyle and living situation to determine if relocation is truly realistic. Believe me, your lifestyle and living situations will be different! Making friends and acquaintances is sometimes easy, sometimes not, but success is generally better the better connected you are. Get out and find folks who share your interests and hobbies. Give it time. It's going to take a year at minimum (likely) more before Hawaii will feel like "home." Finally, for affordability and quality of life, in my opinion the Waianae area is the place to be. Since relocating here we have, of course, traveled the entire island of Oahu, and I wouldn't want to live anywhere else!
