Mahalo for the informative video on Mililani. I grew up in Mililani, now living in the Pacific Northwest for over 10 years. I spent 1990-1998 by Makaunulau Park, and 1998-2008 in Mililani Mauka. Felt super relaxed, very green, very suburb-y. Since I went to school in town, I felt a stark contrast between the rest of Oahu and Mililani- it honestly felt like mix between suburban mainland US mixed with the green parts of Oahu. I'm a Seattle-ite now, and love it, but I will always be from Mililani and from my alma mater in town.
I was raised in waipio in 50s 60s. All pineapple. I remember the first time I saw it coming home from the war in Vietnam. It was a sight to behold. Bless this development.
Australian 🇦🇺 here. I was fortunate enough to spend a year on that beautiful island Oahu, we had plenty of trips from Laie to Milalani. What a lovely neighbourhood with friendly residents.
I move there in 1969 as a 10 year old and was part of the 1st graduating class (1977) of Mililani High School. I have been all over the United States and there is no better place than Mililani Town.
I remember when Kaneohe was considered the "sticks". When I moved to California in 1972, my father told me California would drift from the continent after the next great earthquake. I think Oahu is very over crowded. When overcrowding becomes a problem, things don't usually turn out too well.
When I was there in the early 1980s and end of the 1970s, Mililani's neighborhoods had the look of a southern California suburban development. Trees were shorter and less abundant. The movie "E.T." was reminiscent of it. I don't think there was a movie theater but it had a skating rink somewhere. I remember Mililani Shopping Center having a Pay-and-Save department store, a health food store, and a pizza place.
Milani Skate Palace, closer to present-day FHB/ASB. The exact location is home to loan office & dental office, among others. Skate Palace closed early/mid-1990s or so. Consolidated Mililani Theaters came along around the same time. Same complex as WalMart....
so amazing. nothing Hawaiian about it at all, like most of oahu. could be in california, or texas, or arizona. this is what people want? no wonder hawaii was ruined
Brittany....Mililani=Mee-lee-lah-nee. LOTS of people, including locals...mispronounce it as...Mee-lah-lah-nee. Several Hawaiian language teachers(kumu olelo), including several relatives....CRINGE at that pronunciation!-lol...BTW...Mililani means "To praise"
Thanks for this! I was just composing a comment with the very same observation. I cringe too. Mispronunciation of the Hawaiian language is sooo easy, if people would simply learn the correct vowel sounds
wonderful video. thanks a lot!! I will move to Mililani Mauka area with my family in Nov. How many weeks do I need to find house for rent in this area?
Alana shucks, for the most part there isn’t a commercial rental building. Most are individually rented out so it is something to negotiate directly with the owners. Perhaps, offer more rent for the pup and they would consider?

Grew up there from 1975, I was in 3rd grade till I graduated from UH Manoa in 1988, best place I ever lived.
Bra I was there from 75-79...my dad was stationed at Scholfield and I went to Kipapa Elementary...good times..
I helped build Mililani. Still there, 50 years later..

Dang I haven’t been there in decades, it was a tiny hood back then.
So sad these people are being pushed out of their ancestral homes. Gentrification is some bull shit. Always have been
Beautiful😊
1986 All American City. It’s at the entrance into the Town. Longtime residence still considers Mililani a “Town”. 👍🏼
Really great video! I wish all the towns on Oahu had videos like this. We're trying to figure out where to buy/rent. Your video is insightful!
It is SO nice to hear this, I am happy that it is insightful. There is a kapolei one as well, if you're considering that one.
I have lived in Mililani since 1987. I’m 34. I’m moving to mainland end of year

Great video! I love the Mililani area!
Great video. You did an awesome job. This is my hometown
Thanks for sharing!
Great place to live. Not a doodoo hole like Wahiawa.
Forgot to mention how expensive it is😂
Rose Vapor lol! Now that I have in a different video 😄

Mililani Class of 1982😁🌴🌅🤙
Throwing it back! You are an original!
wonderful video. thanks a lot!! I will move to Mililani Mauka area with my family in Nov. How many weeks do I need to find house for rent in this area?
Thank you! For rental side, I would start looking 2 months in advance and get aggressive about one month prior.

Nice video and you’re beautiful. I’m thinking of transferring to Hawaii and this is the city my job is in.
It’s a great suburban town that is for sure! You cannot go wrong 🙂
where are the rentals in Mililani? I can't seem to find any that allow dogs :(

Mililani tech park boys ♿️
Poor Hawaiian natives…
Sarcasm?
It's a great town but sadly there's been more and more crime here.
For a local you don't pronounce the name correctly.
I love Oahu, I just feel for the native Hawaiians being priced out of the housing market.
I don’t mean to be rude and I know that this is a two year old video but if you were a Mililani local you would not be calling it Milalani lol
Wait till u see nob hill its disgusting
I live in Nob Hill😂😂😂
@@robeIVqp same here

Bought one of the first units there in 71. Wish I’d kept it. 40k turned into 450k.
@@NMEofdaST8 it’s an apartment community. Very affordable
Great video! Very well done
I lived in Mililani town when I first got there in 2005 and after my first Army deployment I lived in Ewa.
