Building Features & Data Confidence
All features from MLS data with AI-assisted confidence analysis. Click each category to expand and see details.
All 13 MLS records consistently report the building as constructed in 1964. No remarks suggest a different original build year, only renovations and repairs, so 1964 is used with high confidence.
Based on 13 listings, the highest observed unit floor is 3 and one listing describes its unit as the 'TOP FLOOR apartment.' No evidence of any higher floors appears in remarks or MLS data, so the building is best interpreted as 3 stories.
No listing states the total number of units in the building; the only quantitative detail is that there are three 1-bedroom units. Without an explicit 'X-unit building' reference, the overall unit count cannot be determined from the available data.
Remarks were scanned for explicit percentages (e.g., '80% owner occupied') or descriptive phrases about owner occupancy levels, but none appeared. With no confirming or contradicting evidence, the current value of 41% owner occupancy is retained but not recently verified.
Remarks consistently reference an elevator in the singular, indicating there is one elevator in this 3-story, 56‑unit building. No listing mentions multiple elevators or suggests a change in elevator count, so the existing value of 1 appears accurate.
Calculated from the lowest association fee observed across all non-penthouse unit listings for this building.
Calculated from the highest association fee observed across all non-penthouse unit listings for this building.
Calculated from association fees observed in penthouse unit listings for this building.
Remarks repeatedly describe “window AC” in units and never mention central air or building-supplied A/C. With no MLS checkboxes indicating central A/C in the fees, central air conditioning is almost certainly not included in the maintenance charges.
Across 13 listings, agents never mark cable as included in the association fee and no remarks reference cable service being part of the dues. Given the low-fee marketing and absence of any mention of included cable, it is very likely that cable is not covered by the maintenance fees.
Roughly half of the listings indicate other common expenses are included in the maintenance fee, and this is standard for similar Waikiki condos. While not spelled out in remarks, the MLS pattern strongly suggests common-area electricity is covered by the association fees.
Several listings explicitly market the property as “fee simple,” indicating condominium ownership rather than co-op. With no MLS indication of co-op taxes, the maintenance fee does not include cooperative taxes.
The MLS data never shows electricity as an included association expense, and agents repeatedly promote very low maintenance fees without citing electric as a benefit. This strongly indicates that unit electricity is separately metered and not included in the HOA dues.
There is no MLS or remarks evidence that gas is provided or included in the maintenance fee, which is typical for small Waikiki studio buildings that use electric appliances. Gas is therefore very likely not part of the association-included utilities.
About half of the listings indicate hot water is part of the association fee, and there is no evidence of individual water heaters noted in inclusions. This pattern, consistent with many Waikiki condos, supports that hot water is provided by the building and included in maintenance fees.
Agents do not check any internet-included option in the MLS and never mention free or bundled Wi-Fi in the building descriptions. Given the focus on affordability and low fees, internet is very likely not included in the maintenance charges.
The property is marketed purely as a Waikiki residential building near the beach, with no mention of boat slips or marina access. With no MLS flags for marina-related fees, marina costs are not part of the maintenance fee.
Every MLS listing for Ainahau Gardens shows sewer as part of the association fee, with no conflicting remarks. This unanimity across multiple agents strongly confirms that sewer charges are included in the maintenance fees.
Water is consistently checked as an included association expense on every listing for the building. The uniform MLS data provides strong evidence that water service is covered by the maintenance fees.
Multiple listings give detailed amenity lists but none reference BBQ grills, a barbecue area, or an outdoor cooking space. Combined with all MLS records omitting a BBQ amenity, this strongly suggests the building has no BBQ facilities.
At least 5 of 13 listings describe bike storage, using phrases like 'bicycle rack', 'surfboard and bike storage', and 'surfboard and bike racks in the back'. These repeated, detailed mentions from different agents provide strong evidence that the building offers dedicated bicycle storage facilities.
Remarks do not describe any dock, marina access, or boat slips, instead focusing on walking distance to beaches and Waikiki attractions. The lack of MLS marina/boat-dock amenity confirms there is no boat dock associated with the building.
Parking details are discussed (assigned, covered, extra-long stalls), but nothing about a car wash facility. The uniform absence from MLS amenities strongly suggests there is no car-wash feature in the building.
Across 13 listings, agents never reference a clubhouse, club house, or community center, despite going into detail on other shared features. The consistent absence in both remarks and MLS strongly suggests there is no clubhouse.
The remarks consistently highlight a resident manager and secure access but never describe concierge or front desk services. With no textual or MLS evidence of concierge, it is very likely this service is not offered in the building.
While nearby parks and the Waikiki area are mentioned, no listing describes an on-site dog park or pet run. The lack of both MLS checkmarks and textual mentions supports that the building has no dedicated dog park.
All 13 listings reference a resident manager and building security features but never a doorman or lobby attendant. The absence of any "doorman"-type language in remarks, combined with unchecked MLS amenities, indicates there is no doorman service.
Across 13 listings, agents describe building features like secure entry, elevator, resident manager, surfboard/bike racks, and laundry on each floor, but never mention any kind of gym or exercise room. MLS amenity checkboxes are consistently unset for exercise facilities. This strongly indicates the building does not offer an exercise room.
In this price point and building type, limo or house-car service would be a standout feature yet it is never mentioned in remarks. Combined with MLS data, this makes it almost certain the building does not offer limousine or courtesy car service.
Listings describe security, elevator, laundry, and storage but omit any reference to meeting or conference rooms. With 0/13 MLS records marking such an amenity, the building almost certainly has no meeting room.
None of the 13 listings reference any patio, deck, lanai, or rooftop terrace, and MLS data shows 0/13 with a patio/deck amenity checked. Descriptions focus on interior features and location rather than shared outdoor spaces, indicating the building likely lacks a dedicated patio/deck amenity.
Agents highlight walkability to Waikiki attractions but never mention a dedicated jogging or fitness path as a building feature. The lack of MLS and remark references indicates there is no formal jogging path amenity.
Agents describe proximity to Kapiolani Park, Zoo, and beach but not an on-site playground. With 0/13 listings marking a playground amenity, it is very likely the building does not have a playground.
All 13 listings describe a small Waikiki condominium with no references to private yards, fenced outdoor areas, or enclosed gardens. Combined with the absence of a PRIYAR amenity flag, this strongly indicates there is no private yard feature in this building.
Remarks reference nearby golf but do not describe any building putting green or practice area. The consistent omission in MLS amenities confirms that the building does not offer a putting green.
Amenity descriptions list practical items (laundry, parking, storage, security) but never a recreation deck or common rec space. With MLS data also showing no recreation-area amenity, it is very likely the building lacks a designated recreation area.
Listings consistently focus on the secure building, elevator, laundry on each floor, and board/bike storage without any mention of a rec or game room. The absence of both MLS checkmarks and textual references indicates there is no recreation room.
Remarks emphasize proximity to a “wide selection of world class shopping and restaurants” in Waikiki, clearly framing them as off-site. With no MLS entries marking a restaurant amenity, the building appears not to contain its own restaurant.
Agents typically highlight any rooftop features in Waikiki buildings, but none of the 13 listings reference a rooftop or roof deck here. Combined with MLS data showing no rooftop amenity, this indicates the building does not offer rooftop amenities.
Wellness-type amenities like saunas are usually highlighted when present, yet none of the listings mention one. This, along with MLS omissions, strongly suggests the building does not have a sauna.
No listing remarks mention a storage locker, storage unit, or building-level extra storage; all 13 focus instead on features like surfboard storage and bike racks. Given this and only 1/13 MLS checkbox hits without remark support, the building is very unlikely to offer separate storage units or lockers.
Public remarks for this building repeatedly state that there is surfboard storage, including locked racks and ground-floor storage areas. Phrases like 'surfboard storage' and 'surfboard rack' across multiple listings indicate this is an established building amenity rather than a unit-specific feature.
Agents repeatedly highlight nearby beaches, parks, and golf but never mention tennis courts as a building feature. With 0/13 MLS entries marking tennis courts, it is very likely the building has no tennis court.
If a trash chute system existed, it would typically be listed alongside other convenience features, yet it is never mentioned. The vague phrase “garbage disposal on property” is not specific to a chute and, with MLS not marking a chute amenity, indicates the building likely lacks a trash chute system.
None of the 13 listings mention valet or valet parking, instead emphasizing deeded or assigned stalls and self-parking options. With the VALET amenity unchecked in all MLS entries, the evidence strongly supports that there is no valet service at this building.
Across 13 listings, security is described via secure/keyed elevator, fob entry, and security cameras, but there are no references to a gated or fenced perimeter (e.g., "gated community" or "walled property"). Given the single isolated MLS check against otherwise silent remarks, the building likely does not have perimeter wall/fence security.
Agents list common amenities thoroughly but never reference any spa or hot tub facility. The absence in both remarks and MLS amenities indicates the building has no whirlpool or hot tub.
All 13 reviewed listings for this building omit any mention of a pool in both amenities and remarks, and no agent describes access to a swimming, lap, or resort-style pool. Phrases focus on proximity to Waikiki Beach and other neighborhood amenities, not on on-site water features. This consistent absence across multiple agents strongly indicates the building has no pool.
None of the 13 listings mention a heated pool or use terms like 'heated swimming pool' or 'warm pool' in remarks or features. Combined with the consistent absence of any pool amenity, this supports that the building does not offer a heated pool.
There is no reference in any of the provided public remarks to a swimming pool of any kind, let alone a saltwater/saline pool. I specifically searched for mentions of pools and saltwater-related terms, and none were found, while other amenities were repeatedly listed, so a saltwater pool is very unlikely.
Across 13 listings, none include washer/dryer in the inclusions or mention in-unit laundry; instead, they consistently highlight shared laundry on each floor. Given how prominently in-unit laundry is usually marketed when present, this strongly indicates that units in this building do not have in-unit washers/dryers.
At least 9 different listings explicitly advertise shared/community laundry, often specifying that there is a laundry room or facilities on each floor. The consistency and detail across multiple agents confirm that the building provides community laundry for residents.
Listing text was reviewed for indications of paid or coin-operated laundry (coin, quarters, card, paid laundry, etc.) and none were found. In the absence of explicit evidence that payment is required, this feature is set to false with medium confidence.
Public remarks consistently describe laundry facilities or a laundry room on every floor of the building. This directly confirms that community laundry is available on each floor.
Multiple listings describe unit-specific parking, including phrases like 'dedicated parking', 'PRIME COVERED & DEEDED X-LONG PARKING stall', 'one covered ASSIGNED PARKING', and 'coveted parking space'. This matches the MLS pattern where 7 of 13 listings report parking, showing the building does provide on-site stalls for some units.
Several agents explicitly describe assigned or deeded parking, using terms like 'ASSIGNED PARKING', 'deeded X-LONG PARKING stall', 'dedicated parking', and 'assigned covered parking'. With 7 of 13 MLS entries also checking ASSIGN, the building clearly offers reserved/assigned stalls for some units.
Multiple separate listings for this building highlight covered stalls, including 'PRIME COVERED & DEEDED X-LONG PARKING stall', 'one covered ASSIGNED PARKING', 'one assigned covered parking', and 'covered parking'. MLS checkbox data (6 of 13 showing covered parking) is consistent with these remarks, confirming covered parking is available for some units.
There is clear evidence that at least some parking stalls in this building are deeded and conveyed with specific units. Multiple listings reference included/assigned parking, and one explicitly calls the stall 'deeded,' so the building is treated as having deeded parking available.
Across 13 listings, none mention EV charging, Tesla chargers, or any kind of vehicle charging amenity, and the EVCHRG checkbox is never used. Given how prominently parking benefits are otherwise marketed, this consistent silence strongly indicates there is no EV charging in the building.
No listing provides a specific monthly dollar amount or clear statement of an extra recurring fee for car parking. References to fees are limited to scooter/bike/surfboard storage, so the presence and cost of any separate car parking fee remains unknown.
Listings carefully describe resident parking but never mention 'guest parking' or 'visitor parking', and the GUEST checkbox is not used in any of the 13 MLS records. The emphasis on scarcity of parking and 'nearby parking' rather than on-site guest stalls points to the building not offering formal guest parking.
Security features repeatedly cited relate to the building and elevator (keyed/fob access, cameras), not to the parking entry. With no explicit 'gated parking' or 'secured parking' language and no SECENT check in MLS, the evidence points to parking without a dedicated secured entry system.
Agents give detailed descriptions of parking, including size and coverage, but never label any stalls as 'tandem', and the TANDEM feature is never selected in MLS. The lone reference to a space 'large enough for two cars' is framed as an oversized stall, not a tandem layout, so tandem parking is unlikely to be a formal building feature.
All listings emphasize self-parking stalls, scooter/moped parking, and nearby parking, with no suggestion of valet or attended parking. Combined with the absence of the VALET checkbox in MLS, this strongly indicates the building does not offer valet parking.
The marketing remarks describe included or assigned parking and nearby parking options but never refer to a waitlist system for obtaining a stall. In the absence of any mention across multiple listings, it is assumed there is no formal parking waitlist.
At least 3/13 listings reference elevator access control, using phrases like "keyed elevator" and "secure elevator, fob access." These consistent, detailed descriptions across different remarks provide strong evidence that the building has keyed/fob-access elevator security.
The building clearly uses a fob-based electronic access system for entry and/or elevator use. Multiple listings reference 'fob access' or 'fob entry', which qualifies as a card/fob access security system under this feature.
Across 13 listings, security is described in terms of a secured/secure building, keyed/secure elevator, fob entry, and security cameras, but never a guard or staffed security personnel. With no MLS checkboxes for security guards and no phrasing like "security guard" or "24-hour security" in remarks, it is very likely the building does not offer guard service.
There is no indication in any listing of a dedicated security patrol or roving guard service. Descriptions focus on building access control and cameras rather than any patrol-based security, so this feature is marked as not present.
1/13 listings clearly mention "security cameras" in the context of building updates, alongside fob entry. Even though SECSYS is not checked in the MLS, this explicit remark strongly supports that the building has video surveillance.
Across 13 listings, no agents checked the central AC box and no remarks reference central air, HVAC, or forced-air systems. Multiple listings instead highlight in-unit A/C, indicating cooling is provided individually rather than by a central building system.
None of the 13 listings indicate split or ductless systems in the MLS checkboxes or in the remarks. Given repeated emphasis on window A/C and absence of any ‘split’ or ‘mini-split’ language, it is unlikely that split AC is a building feature at this time.
Window A/C is consistently reported, with 12 of 13 listings checking the window AC inclusion and multiple remarks explicitly mentioning 'Window AC to keep you cool.' Evidence is strong across different listings and agents that units in this building commonly use window air conditioners.
Evidence from 12 of 13 MLS listings plus remarks describing “solid concrete floors” indicate the structure and floor systems are concrete. Multiple agents across different listings are consistent, suggesting this is not a copy‑paste error.
About five of the thirteen MLS records list double-wall construction, while none state otherwise. This pattern provides moderate evidence that double-wall construction is present in at least some parts of the building.
With no MLS checkboxes or narrative references to hollow tile, and repeated emphasis on concrete, there is strong evidence the building is not characterized as hollow-tile construction.
A minority (2 of 13) MLS records indicate masonry/stucco construction and no remarks conflict with that characterization. This provides moderate, MLS-based evidence that masonry/stucco is part of the building’s construction.
No agent marks steel frame on MLS and no remarks mention steel framing, while several references confirm concrete structure. This supports the conclusion that steel frame construction is not used here.
No listing identifies slab construction in MLS, and some specify above-ground construction instead, with remarks emphasizing concrete floor slabs between levels. This strongly suggests the building is not categorized as having a slab foundation.
No analysis available
Across all reviewed remarks and 13 MLS records there is no mention or checkbox for wood frame construction, while concrete is repeatedly emphasized. This strongly suggests the building is not wood-frame constructed.
A couple of MLS entries explicitly mark above-ground construction, and none mark slab, which aligns with the described multi-story configuration over ground-level areas. This offers moderate evidence the structure is classified as above-ground rather than slab-on-grade.
There are no references to brick in any remarks or MLS construction fields, and the building is consistently described/treated as concrete. This makes brick construction highly unlikely.
The structure is characterized as concrete and mid-rise, not as an older single-wall type, and no agents mark or mention single-wall. This strongly indicates the building is not single-wall construction.
Remarks indicate that rentals must be 30 days or longer, which per the provided criteria means short-term rentals are not allowed. Mentions of Airbnb use are likely for 30+ day stays and do not override the explicit 30-day minimum rule.
Searched for terms like hotel rental pool, hotel program, managed by hotel, or brand-name hotel pools, and found none. With STR not allowed in the building, a hotel pool program would not be feasible.
Looked for phrases like mandatory hotel pool, required rental program, or must be in rental program, and none appear. Combined with the lack of any hotel pool and the 30-day minimum rental rule, mandatory pool participation is effectively ruled out.
At least 5 of 13 listings describe their units as 'FEE SIMPLE' (e.g., 'TURN KEY, MOVE-IN CONDITION, FEE SIMPLE', 'Fee simple studio with one covered ASSIGNED PARKING'). No listing mentions leasehold tenure, so the building clearly offers fee simple units.
The marketing consistently highlights 'fee simple' and never references leasehold or lease rent terms, which would typically be disclosed in Waikiki if present. In the absence of any leasehold indicators, the building is most likely entirely fee simple.
Because the property is consistently advertised as fee simple, there is no ground lease to expire, so no lease expiry year applies. No phrases like 'lease expires' or 'leasehold to' followed by a year appear in the remarks.
Public remarks clearly say the building is 'VA Approved,' which directly confirms VA loan eligibility. Multiple listings describe the same building, so this status reasonably applies to the whole property.
Listings were checked for explicit indications of comprehensive or walls-in HOA insurance and none were found. The generic reference to an adjusted building insurance policy does not confirm full or walls-in coverage, so full insurance is not inferred from the remarks.
Neither the MLS amenity data nor any of the 13 public remarks refer to fire sprinklers or a sprinkler system. Given the building's age and size, sprinklers would likely be promoted if present, so they are presumed absent.
All provided remarks were searched for phrases like 'fire life safety evaluation passed', 'FLSE', 'fire safety certified', or 'passed fire inspection' and none were found. In the absence of any explicit evidence, the system assumes this certification is likely not documented or not present in marketing materials.
Flood zone determined from official FEMA Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) data using building coordinates, not from agent-reported listing data.
No analysis available
Multiple listings highlight being walking distance to Waikiki Beach but none mention any ocean, water, or shoreline views, which would typically be heavily marketed in Waikiki if present. Combined with 5/13 MLS entries showing view=NONE and only a single isolated OCEAN checkbox, it appears the building does not meaningfully offer ocean-view units.
Remarks describe the 'preferred, cooler side of the building with a green Mountain … Views', clearly confirming mountain views from some units. The presence of at least one MLS listing with MOUNTA in the view field supports that Ainahau Gardens offers mountain-view units.
Diamond Head appears only in the context of nearby activities, not as a view amenity from units. With 0/13 MLS view fields indicating Diamond Head views, the building does not reliably offer Diamond Head views.
No remarks explicitly market 'city views', but 2 MLS listings classify their view as CITY. Given the building’s central Waikiki location, it is likely that at least some units enjoy city/urban views.
The marketing stresses walking distance to the beach rather than visual coastal panoramas. With no MLS references to COASTL views, the building does not appear to offer coastline views.
The marketing focuses on interior upgrades and location rather than any garden or courtyard outlook. With no MLS entries using the GARDEN view label, garden views are not a notable building attribute.
Although golf is noted as a nearby activity, no listing describes a 'golf course view' or similar. With 0/13 MLS view fields indicating golf course views, the building does not appear to offer this view type.
Remarks specifically mention 'Ala Wai Canal Views', confirming that some units look over the canal. This supports classifying the building as offering marina/canal-type views.
Across the compiled remarks, there is no mention of sunrise or morning sun views. The absence of any SUNRIS view tags in MLS supports that sunrise views are not a marketed feature of this building.
None of the remarks market sunset or evening-sun views, which are typically highlighted if present in Waikiki. With 0/13 MLS entries using the SUNSET view tag, sunset views are not a recognized building feature.
Neither the comments nor the MLS view data mention cemetery views. This consistent absence strongly indicates that cemetery views are not a factor at Ainahau Gardens.
Remarks focus on walking distance to Waikiki Beach, shopping, dining, and Ala Wai Canal views but never reference viewing fireworks from the property. Given this absence across many listings, it is likely the building does not market a fireworks view.
No analysis available
Across 13 listings, no remarks state 'no pets' and the NOPET restriction is never used in the MLS data, which mildly suggests pets are permitted. Because there are also no positive mentions of dogs, cats, or 'pet-friendly' policies, this is a tentative assumption rather than confirmed information.
Multiple agents independently note a resident manager (e.g., 'Secured building, resident manager', 'Resident manager onsite, security cameras, fob entry'). MLS amenity data strongly supports this, so the building clearly has an on-site resident manager.
All 13 listings market Ainahau Gardens as a fee simple condo, not as a hotel-operated building, and one explicitly references a 30-day minimum rental. The absence of any mention of hotel programs or front desk services, plus 0/13 CONDOT flags, strongly indicates it is not a condotel.
The building is consistently described as a fee simple condominium across 13 listings, with phrases such as 'fee simple studio' and 'small condominium.' No listing uses co-op language, and the absence of COOTAX flags makes it almost certain this is not a cooperative.
Confidence levels are based on MLS checkbox data and AI analysis of listing remarks. High = strong evidence, Medium = some evidence, Low = limited or conflicting evidence. Buyers should always verify critical details independently.
