On the same island, more to the east, you’ll find East Honolulu, a city that’s home to nearly 50,000 people. The census-designated place has a total area of 3.4 square miles, so there’s a little more space to cover. The area is mostly fof upscale neighborhoods, which explains why the median home price here is $875,100. Yes, it’s that expensive to live here, but I think we’ve already established to expect high prices when it comes to Hawaii. The cost of living index is also quite high – 255.6, meaning you’ll be paying quite a bit over the average across the United States.

The crime rate in the neighborhood is quite ok, namely 21, so you shouldn’t worry too much about it.
