Ala Wai Palms

MLS property data from 6/6 listings agree that the building was constructed in 1961. There are no remarks suggesting a different build year or a complete reconstruction, so 1961 is accepted as the construction year with high confidence.

Across 6 listings, the highest unit floor reported is the 9th floor, including a remark describing a 'preferred higher 9th floor' unit. No remarks indicate a higher or top floor or give a total story count, so the building is inferred to have approximately 9 floors based on current MLS data.

No listing remarks state the total unit count, and the structured MLS field for total units is 0 in all 6 cases, suggesting the true number of units is not being reported. As a result, the total number of units in the building cannot be determined from current data.

No listing remarks mention the share of owner-occupied units or provide any occupancy percentage. The existing value of 52% is kept, but it cannot be reconfirmed from the remarks.

Existing data shows the building has 2 elevators, which fits a 10-story, 70-unit building. Public remarks confirm the presence of at least one elevator but provide no count, so the existing value of 2 is retained.

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.

Across all remarks, cooling is only described via a 'window AC unit' and there is no reference to central air or AC included in dues. With 0/6 MLS records indicating central AC in the fee, this feature is considered not included in maintenance.

MLS data consistently shows cable TV included in the maintenance fee (6/6 listings with CABTV). Public remarks focus on amenities like pool, secured entry, and location, with no statements suggesting cable is excluded, so the MLS pattern is treated as reliable rather than copy‑paste error.

The MLS association_fee_includes field consistently lists common/other expenses on 5 of 6 units, which in this context is used for building-level shared utilities. While public remarks do not spell this out, the strong MLS pattern supports common-area electricity being included.

All remarks describe fee-simple condo-style ownership with no indication of a cooperative tax structure. With 0/6 MLS entries indicating cooperative taxes, co-op taxes are not included in the maintenance fee.

Across multiple independently written remarks, there is no statement that 'maintenance fee includes electricity' or similar, and the ELECTR box is consistently left unchecked in the MLS (0/6). This supports that unit electricity is separately metered and not included in the HOA fee.

The building descriptions do not reference gas appliances or gas utilities at all, and MLS fee-includes fields never show GAS. This indicates gas, if present at all, is not included in the maintenance fees.

Public remarks never mention hot water being included in fees, and MLS inclusions frequently specify individual water heaters, which is inconsistent with building-supplied hot water. Combined with HOTWAT being unchecked on all listings, hot water is not included in the maintenance fee.

If internet were a building-wide included utility, it would typically be consistently checked and highlighted, but here only 2/6 MLS records show it and no remarks mention it. The majority of listings omit it from fee includes, so internet is treated as not included in the HOA fees.

The building is described as overlooking the Ala Wai Canal and golf course but not as having a marina or boat facilities. With all MLS records lacking MARINA in the fee includes, marina fees are not included in maintenance.

While remarks focus on lifestyle and amenities, MLS data strongly indicates sewer is part of the association fee (SEWER checked on 5/6 units). The near-unanimous MLS pattern supports sewer being included in the maintenance fee.

Every MLS entry for this building shows WATER as an included association fee item. Even though the public remarks do not explicitly say 'water included,' the universal MLS indication provides strong evidence that water is covered by the maintenance fee.

At least one agent describes using a barbecue in conjunction with the condo pool, implying a common BBQ/grilling setup available to residents. This direct remark outweighs the unchecked MLS amenity box and supports including BBQ as a building amenity.

Across six listings, none indicate bike storage in the amenities or describe a bike room, bicycle storage, or bike racks, even though lifestyle and building features are heavily marketed. Given this consistent omission alongside detailed amenity lists, it is very likely that Ala Wai Palms does not offer dedicated bicycle storage.

The canal is presented purely as a view, not as functional waterfront access. Given both remarks and MLS data, the building does not offer a boat dock or marina access.

Parking is described as assigned and sometimes covered/secured, but there is no reference to washing facilities. With zero MLS support, a car wash amenity is very unlikely to exist.

Marketing focuses on the urban Waikiki location and standard condo amenities but never refers to any clubhouse-type facility. This, along with MLS data, indicates there is no clubhouse.

Marketing remarks focus on location, pool, secured entry, and a resident manager but never describe concierge or front desk services. Given 0/6 MLS concierge checks and no textual support, it is very likely the building does not offer concierge service.

In a pet-sensitive market, a dedicated dog park would be a strong marketing point but is never mentioned here. This lack of mention plus MLS data indicates the building does not have a dog park.

Buildings with a doorman almost always advertise it prominently, but these remarks never reference one and instead mention a resident manager. The consistent omission plus unchecked MLS data indicates the building does not have a doorman service.

Across six listings, agents highlight the pool, sun deck, laundry, security, and parking but never refer to a gym or fitness facility. Combined with MLS showing no exercise-room amenity, this strongly suggests the building does not offer an exercise room.

In a building where such a service existed, it would be a major luxury selling point, yet it is never mentioned. The consistent omission and MLS data support that there is no limousine or house car service.

Agents do not promote any common indoor meeting or conference space, which would typically be highlighted if present. The absence in both remarks and MLS supports that there is no meeting room amenity.

Remarks describe a 'sun deck', 'covered lanai', and 'spacious patio' or lanai in several listings. Combined with 6/6 MLS records showing patio/deck amenities, this strongly supports that the building offers patio/deck outdoor space to at least some units.

While the tower is near the Ala Wai Canal and beaches, agents never promote a dedicated jogging/walking path within the property. The isolated MLS checkmark without remark support indicates the building does not offer a formal jogging path amenity.

Agents emphasize adult-oriented amenities (pool, sun deck, proximity to shopping and beaches) and never mention any kids' play facilities. This strongly suggests there is no playground amenity.

Across all provided remarks, outdoor areas are limited to lanais, patios, pool, and sun deck—there is no reference to any private or fenced yard space. Given the high-rise setting and lack of MLS indicators for PRIYAR, it is very likely the building does not offer private yards.

Remarks distinguish between views of nearby golf facilities and on-site amenities, which are limited to pool/sun deck and building services. With no MLS or remark support, the building does not have its own putting green.

Remarks frame the pool and sun deck strictly as those features rather than a larger recreation or amenity deck. Given the lack of explicit references and unchecked MLS entries, a distinct recreation area is not supported.

Listings describe the pool, sun deck, laundry room, and general building security but omit any recreation/game/multi-purpose room. With no MLS or remark support, a recreation room is very unlikely to exist.

Agents consistently highlight nearby dining options rather than an in-building restaurant. This pattern and the MLS data indicate there is no restaurant amenity within the building itself.

View descriptions focus on lanai views of the Ala Wai, golf course, and city lights from typical floors, not from a shared rooftop. With no MLS or remark support, a rooftop amenity is very unlikely.

Agents describe only basic recreational facilities (pool, sun deck) and building services, not wellness amenities like a sauna. This strongly suggests the building does not have a sauna.

Over six recent listings for Ala Wai Palms, none list storage units or lockers in the building amenities or describe dedicated ‘extra storage’ spaces; the only reference is to ‘ample storage space’ within a unit. Because multiple agents consistently highlight other amenities (pool, sundeck, secured entry, laundry, BBQ, resident manager) without any mention of separate storage lockers, it is very likely the building does not have common storage units.

Remarks were searched for terms like 'surfboard storage', 'board storage', 'surf storage', and 'bike and surfboard storage'. None of the listings indicate any dedicated surfboard storage facilities, so this feature is assumed not present based on available public remarks.

Agents focus on proximity to beaches, shopping, pool, and sun deck but never mention tennis. The complete absence of references plus unchecked MLS fields indicates the building does not have tennis courts.

While many condos may have chutes by default, agents do not highlight one here and MLS does not list it. Due to the complete lack of explicit evidence, we do not treat a trash chute as a confirmed amenity for this building.

Parking is consistently described as 'assigned' and within a 'secured parking garage' with no mention of valet services in any remarks. With VALET unchecked in all MLS records, the evidence indicates the building does not provide valet service.

The building is presented as a central Waikiki condo with secured entry and garage but no mention of a perimeter gate, wall, or fence. The repeated lack of 'gated' or similar language and unchecked MLS data strongly suggest the property is not enclosed by a wall or fence as a notable security feature.

Amenity descriptions are specific to a standard pool and sun deck without any indication of a separate spa or whirlpool. The lack of mention and unchecked MLS field indicate no whirlpool amenity.

Ala Wai Palms clearly has a shared building pool. Five of six recent listings explicitly mention a pool with phrases like 'swimming pool', 'on-site pool', and 'condo pool', and all 6 MLS entries have the pool amenity checked, indicating consistent confirmation across agents and listings.

None of the six reviewed listings mention a heated pool, even when highlighting pool amenities in detail. Combined with the fact that no MLS records have the heated pool option checked, the evidence indicates the building’s pool is unheated.

Remarks reference the building’s swimming pool several times but never specify that it is a saltwater or saline pool. Searched for terms like 'salt water pool', 'saltwater', 'saline', and 'salt pool' and found no matches, so it is likely not a designated saltwater pool based on current public remarks.

None of the 6 listings mention in-unit washer/dryer or check the washer/dryer inclusion, even for renovated 2BR units that would typically advertise this feature. One listing instead promotes an 'upgraded laundry room' for the building, implying shared facilities rather than in-unit machines. With no remarks or user data indicating any exceptions, this building is very unlikely to offer in-unit laundry in its units.

5 of 6 listings have the community laundry (COMLAU) amenity checked, and one remark states the building offers an 'upgraded laundry room' along with the pool, sun deck, and secured entry. This language clearly refers to a shared building facility, and the consistency across multiple listings from different agents supports that community laundry is a reliable building feature.

The remarks reference an 'upgraded laundry room' but provide no detail about whether use requires payment. Terms such as 'coin-op', 'card-operated', 'paid laundry', or 'laundry fee' do not appear. Due to lack of evidence, the laundry is assumed not explicitly identified as paid.

The listings confirm there is a shared laundry room in the building but do not state that there are laundry facilities on each floor. Phrases like 'laundry on every floor' or 'laundry room on each floor' were not found. Given this absence, it is assumed laundry is not provided on every floor.

Multiple listings state that units include a parking space (e.g., '1 Assigned Parking Spot', 'Pool and assigned parking space comes with the unit'). With 6/6 MLS records indicating parking and several agents highlighting it, parking is clearly available in this building.

Remarks repeatedly note 'assigned parking' (e.g., 'assigned parking', '1 Assigned Parking Spot', '1 covered parking stall is assigned to the unit'). This consistency across multiple listings and agents strongly supports that parking is assigned in this building.

At least one listing clearly advertises a 'covered parking stall' in a parking garage, and MLS data includes covered/garage parking for one unit. This indicates the building offers covered parking options, even if not every stall is covered.

Remarks repeatedly describe parking as 'assigned' but never as deeded or owned with the unit. I searched for phrases like 'deeded parking', 'owned stall', and 'parking included in deed' and found none, so parking is likely not deeded.

Across all provided listings, there is no reference to EV or charging stations in remarks or MLS features. Given this absence, the building is very likely not offering EV-specific parking or charging at this time.

Listings state that units include an assigned parking space but do not mention whether there is a separate monthly parking charge. I searched for terms like 'parking fee', 'monthly parking', and 'parking rental' and found no information, so the presence or amount of any fee is unknown.

No listing remarks mention guest or visitor parking, and the MLS data does not flag any guest parking feature. This strongly suggests the building does not provide dedicated guest parking.

Remarks cite both 'secured entry' to the building and a 'secured parking garage' for at least one unit, and MLS flags secured parking in one entry. This supports that some or all parking is within a secured-access garage or area.

Neither the MLS data nor the listing remarks reference tandem stalls. This lack of evidence indicates that tandem parking is not a characteristic feature of the building’s parking.

Listings describe self-use assigned or covered parking but never valet or attended service. With no MLS or remark support, valet parking can be safely ruled out for this building.

Each listing simply notes that the unit comes with an assigned parking space and does not describe any waitlist process. I looked for phrases like 'parking waitlist' or 'waiting list for parking' and found none, so a waitlist system likely does not exist.

The phrase 'Secured entry and elevator' directly ties security to the elevator itself, fitting the 'secure elevator' pattern described in the feature definition. Combined with 'Secure Entry with Key Access' in another listing, this supports the presence of a keyed or fob-access elevator system as a building-level feature, even though MLS amenities do not explicitly flag it.

Listings describe the building as secured and note secure entry with key access, but never specify card or fob access. Searched for terms like key card, keycard, fob, and electronic access and found no matches, so card/fob access is likely not present.

No listing advertises a security guard or 24/7 security, instead emphasizing features like secured entry and a resident manager. With 0/6 MLS entries checking a guard-related amenity and no textual references, it is very likely the building does not provide dedicated security guard service.

The remarks emphasize secured entry, a secured building, and a resident manager but never reference any patrolling security service. Searched for phrases like 'security patrol', 'roving security', and 'patrolled' and found no evidence, so a patrol service likely does not exist.

Remarks focus on secured entry, secured parking, and a resident manager but never reference cameras or video monitoring. Given the consistent absence of camera-related language and unchecked MLS fields, video surveillance is very unlikely to be a promoted building feature.

Across 6 listings, there are no references to central air or HVAC systems, and MLS checkbox data shows 0/6 units with any central AC feature selected. One listing specifically highlights a window AC unit, suggesting cooling is handled by individual window units rather than a central building-wide system.

No listing remarks reference ductless mini-splits or split systems, and agents did not mark the MLS split AC checkbox for any of the 6 units. The only explicit AC description is a 'window AC unit', indicating the building’s units are using window units rather than split systems.

Multiple agents consistently check the MLS window AC option (5/6 listings), and one remark clearly notes a 'window AC unit' as part of a recent upgrade. This provides strong, multi-agent evidence that at least some units in the building use window air conditioning.

MLS data is unanimous: 6 of 6 listings mark construction as concrete (CONCRE), consistent with a typical Waikiki mid/high-rise condo. No public remarks reference any non-concrete primary structure, so the building is treated as concrete-constructed.

Double wall (DOUWAL) appears on just 1/6 listings and is not supported by any remarks, while concrete is universally selected. The sparse, inconsistent MLS usage indicates double-wall is probably not a defining construction type for this building.

Hollow tile (HOLTIL) is not checked on any listing and is not mentioned in remarks. Given the consistent concrete designation instead, hollow tile is very unlikely to be a defining construction type here.

Masonry/stucco (MASSTU) is marked on 2/6 listings, with the remaining listings silent rather than selecting an opposing construction type. While not confirmed in remarks, this partial but repeated MLS usage indicates the building likely has masonry/stucco exterior elements.

Steel frame construction (STEFRA) is not checked on any of the 6 listings, while concrete is always selected. With no textual mention of steel framing, it is very unlikely the building is categorized as steel-frame in MLS terms.

The slab foundation flag (SLAB) is never selected in any of the 6 MLS entries, and no remarks reference a slab or solid concrete foundation. In the absence of explicit MLS or narrative evidence, the building is not tagged as slab construction in this dataset.

No analysis available

Across 6/6 listings, wood frame (WOOFRA) is never selected, and concrete is consistently specified instead. Remarks do not mention wood framing, so it is highly likely this is not a wood-frame building.

Above ground construction (ABOGRO) is selected on only 1/6 listings and never mentioned in the narrative descriptions. Given the lack of corroboration and the consistent focus on concrete condo construction, this is likely not an accurate building-level feature.

No listings select brick construction (BRICK), and there are no references to brick walls, brick exterior, or similar in the remarks. This strongly suggests the building is not considered a brick-constructed property in the MLS data.

No listings indicate single wall (SINWAL), and remarks fit a concrete Waikiki condo rather than traditional single-wall construction. This provides strong evidence the building is not single-wall constructed.

The explicit mention of a 30-day minimum rental period means short-term (under 30 days) rentals are not permitted in this building. I looked for terms like legal vacation rental, STR permitted, NUC, and TVU, but only found the 30-day minimum restriction.

Because STR is not allowed, a hotel rental pool program is effectively ruled out. I also searched for phrases like hotel rental pool, hotel program, or management by a hotel brand and found no references.

With no evidence of any hotel rental pool and explicit 30-day minimum rentals, there is no basis for a mandatory hotel pool requirement. I looked for language about required participation or mandatory rental programs and found none.

None of the 6 listings describe units as fee simple or use terms like 'fee simple' or 'FS', and the structured tenure field does not show any Fee Simple entries. Because the MLS tenure data appear incomplete and no remarks clarify tenure, there is insufficient evidence that the building offers any Fee Simple units.

Across 6 listings, none are flagged as leasehold in the available MLS data, and no remarks mention leasehold status or provide lease details such as rent or expiration. Because tenure is not clearly reported, there is no solid evidence that the building currently offers leasehold units.

I searched for phrases like "lease expires", "leasehold", "land lease", "through 20xx", and "ground lease" but found no relevant information. Without an explicit year or any leasehold discussion, the lease expiry date cannot be determined from these remarks.

Public remarks clearly indicate that units in this building have existing VA loans, which implies the building is VA-approved for financing. Multiple listings mentioning VA assumable loans provide strong evidence this status is applicable to the building. No remarks contradict VA eligibility.

The listings do not discuss HOA or building insurance coverage at all. Because there is no explicit indication of full or walls-in coverage, this is marked as false by default.

The fire-sprinkler checkbox is unset in 6/6 MLS entries, and no listing remarks mention sprinklers or a fire suppression system while actively promoting other building features like pool, sundeck, laundry, and security. This consistent omission strongly indicates the building does not have a fire sprinkler system.

The remarks reference security features like secured entry and parking but say nothing about a fire/life safety evaluation or passing any related inspection. In the absence of explicit statements, this field is set to false by default.

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

Across six listings, none describe any ocean or water views, despite detailed descriptions of other view types. Current MLS data also shows 0 of 6 units with OCEAN checked, so buyers should not expect ocean-view units in this building.

At least two listings describe 'lush mountains in distance' or 'mountains,' confirming mauka-facing views from certain units. MLS data (3/6 with mountain checked) supports that some units in Ala Wai Palms offer mountain views.

The remarks reference Diamond Head only as a nearby attraction, not a visible view from units. With no explicit 'Diamond Head view' language and just a single MLS checkbox hit, there is insufficient evidence that units here reliably offer Diamond Head views.

Four of six remarks mention city vistas, such as 'city views' and 'glimmering city lights at night.' This, together with MLS data, confirms that some Ala Wai Palms units offer notable city views that buyers can seek out.

All documented views are oriented toward the Ala Wai Canal, golf course, mountains, and city lights. With no coastline-related language or MLS tagging, coastline views should not be expected here.

Across all six descriptions, there are no references to gardens, courtyards, or landscaped outlooks. With zero MLS support as well, there is no evidence that garden views are a meaningful feature of this building.

Four of six listings explicitly reference 'views of Ala Wai Golf Course' or 'unobstructed views of the Ala Wai golf course.' Consistent remarks and MLS tagging confirm that golf course views are a prominent selling point for certain units.

At least four listings tout 'views of the Ala Wai' or 'Ala Wai Canal,' and talk about city lights reflecting off the calm waters. This strongly indicates that many units enjoy canal/marina-type views, making this a key building feature.

The marketing copy never cites sunrise views or east-facing exposure, even when describing view highlights. With no MLS support for sunrise either, sunrise views cannot be verified as a building feature.

Remarks emphasize nighttime city lights rather than direct sunset views, and there is no clear claim of sunset or fireworks vistas. Given only a single MLS sunset checkbox with no narrative support, sunset views are not reliably established for this building.

None of the listings reference or allude to a cemetery nearby or in the view. The complete absence of cemetery mentions and MLS tagging supports concluding that cemetery views are not a feature of this building.

I searched the remarks for terms like "fireworks", "Friday night fireworks", and "watch fireworks from lanai" and found none. Given the absence of any mention of fireworks views, it is likely that fireworks views are not a notable feature of this building.

No analysis available

There is no explicit 'no pets' language in any remarks and the NOPET restriction is absent across all current MLS entries. While pets are not directly mentioned, the lack of a no-pet flag suggests pets are at least partially allowed, though buyers should verify specific pet rules.

MLS amenity data uniformly indicate a resident manager in 6/6 listings. This is confirmed in the remarks where a unit is described as having 'secured entry and elevator with resident manager,' providing strong evidence of an on-site resident manager for the building.

The building is presented as a standard condo with minimum 30-day rentals, not as a hotel-style operation. The lack of any condotel/hotel language in remarks and in the MLS architectural style strongly indicates it is not a condotel.

All descriptions and financing details match standard condominium ownership rather than a co-op structure. With no cooperative-related terms in remarks or MLS data, it is highly likely this building is not a co-op.
