The cost of purchasing a home in Hawaii is still high compared to other locations around the country. Opportunities to purchase or rent are available throughout the island. The types of housing available are as varied as the communities within the county and apartments are available throughout the private sector. The Military and Family Support Center offers a Home Buying Skills class quarterly; please refer to the MFSC Calendar for dates.
Military members who prefer to live off-base compete with the civilian population for adequate rental housing in Oahu's high cost housing market. Much of rental housing on Oahu is multiplex construction because of limited land availability and the large number of residents.
Rentals are also generally small with fewer bedrooms and less living space than a service member might be accustomed to on the mainland. Arriving families therefore often find it difficult to find a home large enough to accommodate their shipment of household goods. We suggest service members consider using non-temporary storage prior to their departure from CONUS locations. Non-temporary storage at their CONUS location is authorized and should be used for excess furnishings and cold weather clothing.
