Hi All,
I am moving to Honolulu and will be working on "Ward Ave # Main, Honolulu, HI 96814". I have 3 kids so looking for 2 bedroom apartment but my priority is Good School neighbor.

Can someone help me to find good school and some apartment community also what is the normal rent for 2 bedroom apartment?

Thanks
Alex

Your search should start here:

craigslist: hawaii jobs, apartments, personals, for sale, services, community, and events

2 bedroom apartment with 3 kids? I'd budget at least $3,000/month for an apartment of sufficient size to hold you all + utilities. As you go lower in price, the commute will get longer. You'll need to balance your needs with your budget.

Here are some school rankings - Best Schools in Hawaii - HI School Rankings

What is your monthly budget for rent and utilities? Are you willing to sit in traffic for an hour a day? 2 hours a day? Do you need to take your kids to/from school? Do you have flexible work hours?

If you want a short commute and a good school district you're limited to Manoa or Nuuanu. If your time isn't that valuable and you don't mind sitting in lots of traffic you can venture out to Hawaii Kai or Mililani. The latter will cost you 2 hours a day in commuting time (the former about 90 mins). Another good area is Aina Haina/Niu Valley which are in great school districts and fairly short commute (under 30 mins to town) but not many 2 bdrms available (if at all) in those areas and rents are pricey.

Here are some rental companies to check out. You can see the prices.

Also Craigslist.
hawaii apts/housing for rent - craigslist

Sometimes you can get lucky and find something, a little lower in price.
Also some of the condo apartments you can find where Utilities are included with the rent.
Best of luck in your search.
