The Residents of Kapolei

The West Oahu city of Kapolei is a thriving community, known for its new developments and larger, more affordable homes. Residents enjoy access to an array of modern amenities, from big box stores, retailers, and restaurants to resorts and water parks. Today, Kapolei is home to nearly 12,000 homes and condos, and the Honolulu Department of Planning and Permitting anticipates that number will exceed 50,000 by 2035. 

But who are the residents of Kapolei? How many are married? How much do they make? 

Kapolei Vibe

It would be an understatement to say Kapolei is a growing community. Several major residential development companies are building master-planned communities to keep pace with the region's expanding population. In the near future, three planned developments – Kapolei West, Makaiwa Hills and Ho'opili, are expected to bring 18,000 homes to Kapolei.

Residents are just a short drive from the beautiful Ko Olina Resorts, where there’s something for everyone. Families can escape to Aulani, a Disney Resort & Spa, while avid golfers can plan an outing to the JW Marriott Ihilani, which was recently named one of the "Top 15 Hawaii Golf Resorts" by Travel + Leisure.

Ko Olina is also home to one of Oahu's largest tourist attractions, Paradise Cove. Famous for its luau shows and pig roasts, the venue also hosts custom events, corporate retreats and weddings. 

Exciting things are happening in Kapolei, and it's quickly becoming Oahu's Second City. Homes in Kapolei are typically newer, bigger and less expensive, new shops and eateries are opening up on every corner and several business developments promise job opportunities for thousands. Take a drive out West to see why nearly 40,000 people call this master-planned community home sweet home!
