I was at Schofield over 35 years ago and traffic could get thick then. I didn't know people stationed at Schofield would bother to choose a residence on the Windward side or really any further than Mililani. I never see tours of the old housing that is still there but I did find one walkthrough of a residence that was exactly what I use to have.
I was on Ekaha Circle from '79-82. Babysat all over the base but all the places were basically the same quad cement and brick structures. Last I saw our former unit was 08. Can't remember if I bothered to go see it again in '12 or not. It was so depressing. Military had hardcore stands, white glove inspection upon move out, etc. Our unit had grass nearly in the 2nd floor windows and haphazardly hung window a/c. It seemed so tiny since I'm grown now. Recently saw that Ekaha Circle is no longer a cul de sac as it was then😭
My wife and I are reporting to Schofield Barracks in September. This video was very helpful. We were shocked to know the washer and dryer comes with the house! Amazing. Great video!!!
Thank you for watching! Definitely check with Island Palm communities and make sure your unit does if you’re deciding to live on base. Let me know if there’s anything I can do to help!
I would love if you did a tour of a single family home instead of a duplex on post. We got approved for our home this August, but it’s hard to see any videos of them
I lived on Schofield Barracks in 1993-1996 after my husband I were married. It in no way looked like those fabulous homes! Hope those living there enjoy! Thank you for sharing!
@@cynthianickerson1951I think they had only just started the rebuild. When I revisited our former home on Ekaha Circle in 08, it was 😭😭😭 so worn out from so many families that had come and gone after our 79-82 stay. Across Menoher I think it was, there was even still the worst of the last leftover units from 82 in how our was new at that time.
Oh My Goodness! do you have a Airforce base home on post forgot the name of the base? Ryan this is so valuable !!! Awesome content love it 😊 thank you so much !!!
If someone were to buy a house and want to rent it out when the leave how would the process of getting a management company for the property go ? And how much does it cost to have a management company?
Great question! I'll try to answer this without getting too lengthy but this is a question we get on just about every Zoom call. Most people often look for a reputable property management company on Google first. Top things you're most likely looking at...1 - who has the highest reviews?...2 - who has the lowest fees with reasonably high review? What you don't see on the surface is how many properties that company is managing which could be anywhere from 300+ and if (1) they have the time for you and (2) do you even trust them? This isn't to say property management companies are bad by any means. There are definitely some great ones here. You could also interview agents like myself who manage properties. Benefits to that is working directly with the agent. Direct communication and time you hope to receive from a customer service standpoint. Downside if this (being completely honest) is do you trust that agent? ULTIMATELY, it comes down to trust. Find a company or agent you TRUST with one of your largest investments who will give you the communication, time, and BEST service. I hope that helps!
I need to see 1 level. I have to get hip replacement there. wifey still Active duty and I’m retired Airborne After 22 years. I don’t want to walk up the steps.👍🏿
Hey - this was helpful. My partner just got stationed at Wheeler and we are trying to pick a good location to live and are interested in Kailua and Kaneohe, but are weary of traffic... any thoughts on that?
And I would no doubt use you as my realtor if I were gonna stay here but I am moving to Kaua’i to be with my ohana in a few years once I retire and then I will buy. But if you want to be my realtor for a Kaua’i property, sure! P.S. if I were active duty and got BAH, I would NEVER rent or live on post. I would BUY. Hawaii real estate is the best investment you can make!
Thank you Kristina! 🙏 Your kind words are greatly appreciated. Kauai is the most beautiful island in my opinion! Best of luck and if I can help in any way let me know.
I camped at Mokuleia in '12 with my sons. The church campground. What were those horrid, spiky roundish balls in the sand EVERYWHERE?!? Could NOT get rid of them!! Called them Satan's children. 😂
My family left in 82 after our 79-82 tour (Schofield) It was nearly unrecognizable when I returned in 08 and '12. The only thing I'd be able to find is Richardson pool😂
Ryan. I am DOD GS civilian and can and do live on post. Wait list was too long for Schofield so I am at Pearl City Peninsula but as DOD I can apply to live in Army, Navy or Air Force housing.
@@LIVINGINHAWAII808 hey it worked out fine. Since I can’t shop at commissary, I wouldn’t have enjoyed shopping for groceries in Wahiawa. I really love Don Quijote here and Foodland Farms. And I love the easy proximity to windward beaches! (And leeward once in a while) and yes even North Shore. I have yet to go to Waikiki or Honolulu since I moved here. Not my thing.
@@LIVINGINHAWAII808 and Pearl City Peninsula has way more tropical feel than Schofield. Lots of palm trees, plumeria trees, mango trees, and waterfront walking path and view of ships. Not bad at all!
That’s one thing I don’t have in Ewa Beach. Easy access to the beautiful beaches on the Windward side. Same with town. I don’t spend much time in town either unless I’m showing a home. Once in a blue moon I’ll cruise down there to hang out.
@@LIVINGINHAWAII808 the closest I get to Ewa is when I go to Iroquois Point beach but other than plane spotting, not my favourite beach. I have some favourite beaches I don’t even talk about because I don’t want anyone else there haha!
@@mahreel6585 that really depends on island palms communities standards. Check their website or give them a call. Last I heard there was a waiting list for on post housing.

Most likely an e7 and up.
Our report date is 10 August 2022
Is this E9 housing?
No. This was an E6 with 2 dependents
I've been impressed with the on post housing in Schofield.
