"On the isle of Oahu, the day is just begun / Relax is number one / 'Don't rush me haole, there's plenty of sun.'" -Aloha Honolulu, Poi Dog Pondering
Located on the island of Oahu is the small town of Halawa, just a few miles away from the legendary Waikiki Beach and tropical tourism paradise of Honolulu. Compared to most places on the island of Oahu, Halawa is relatively spread out and rural-feeling; the land has two streams running through it, and there are many dense forests and hills. Halawa was a land that was very important to native Hawaiians, and today, natives are trying to protect the beauty of the land there. However, there are also lovely neighborhoods in this area, where residents can both enjoy and soak up the natural splendor of the island, and enjoy the many amenities that the neighborhoods and the surrounding towns have to offer.

Balconies are a coveted amenity for many renters looking for high-rise views and opportunities for fresh air. However, you should keep in mind that balconies often come with restrictions.
Before signing a lease, ask about how many people can be on the balcony at once. Also, ask about whether you’re allowed to store a bike or other items.
You’ll also want to know about any maintenance schedules. Using your balcony as storage could result in fines and intervention from your property management.
Keep in mind that not all balconies are created equally. You may discover the views of the parking area are less than optimal or reduce your overall privacy.
Balconies can also get messy with debris, foliage, dirt, and pollen depending on your location. Renters are typically responsible for any clean-up and basic balcony upkeep.
Regardless of the issues to keep in mind, balconies are usually a big win for Halawa renters. Ask about apartments on higher floors for the best views.
