Building Overview
Bel-Aire in Waikiki (West Waikiki): 9-floor concrete building from 1961 with a pool and mountain/sunset views.

About Bel-Aire
Bel-Aire is a 9-floor, 22-unit concrete building located in West Waikiki. Built in 1961, the property is a small mid-century condominium offering limited common-area vertical access via a single elevator. According to available records, the building's construction and unit count reflect its compact scale.
Key features include an on-site pool and recorded mountain and sunset views. Unit climate control options listed in MLS data include split and window air conditioning. The building allows pets and does not permit short-term rentals, per the available MLS information. Management company is listed as unknown in the provided records.
Parking is noted as available, covered, and assigned. Buyers should verify all details, including association rules, fees, and management information, with the listing agent or condominium association. Based on MLS data presented here, prospective buyers should confirm any additional specifics before making decisions.
Building Features & Data Confidence
All features from MLS data with AI-assisted confidence analysis. Click each category to expand and see details.
MLS property data is consistent across all 4 listings, each indicating the building was built in 1961. No remarks suggest a different construction year or a complete rebuild, so 1961 is accepted as the construction year.
Across 4 listings, the highest unit floor reported in the MLS property data is 9, and no remarks mention a higher floor, penthouse, or 'top floor'. With no explicit story count in remarks, we infer a 9-floor building from the maximum observed unit floor.
None of the 4 listings state a total unit count for the building, and references to 'two units per floor' vs. 'three units per floor' conflict. Without reliable total floors or a direct unit count, the total number of units cannot be determined.
None of the listings discuss the proportion of owner-occupants versus renters. With no confirming or contradicting evidence in remarks, the existing 77% owner-occupancy value is kept.
The listings do not reference elevators (e.g., 'elevator', 'lift', 'multiple elevators'). With no evidence in remarks, the existing value of 1 elevator is retained, which is plausible for a 10-story, 22-unit building.
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.
All four listings omit central AC in the HOA-included items, and one remarks that the unit has its own split A/C. This strongly indicates central air is not a building-included utility.
Cable TV is marked as included in the association fees on 4 of 5 current MLS listings, indicating a consistent building-level benefit. One listing’s remarks explicitly say, 'Monthly maintenance fees include cable and internet service,' directly confirming this. No listing describes cable as a separate or optional utility cost, suggesting it is standard for the building.
Common area electricity is shown as included in the HOA fees on 4 of 5 MLS listings, a strong and consistent pattern. Although public remarks don’t spell out 'common area electricity,' they also never mention separate building-power charges. This supports that common area electric is covered by the maintenance fees.
All four listings omit co-op taxes from the HOA-included items and the remarks consistently call the property a condo. This is strong evidence that there are no co-op taxes included in the fees.
All four MLS entries leave 'electricity included' unchecked, and no remarks mention electric as an HOA benefit. This makes it very likely that electricity is not included in the maintenance fees.
No listings indicate gas is part of the association fee, and there is no mention of gas utilities in any public remarks. This strongly suggests gas is not included in the maintenance fees.
Most recent listings (4 of 5) indicate hot water is included in the association fees, and none advertise individual water heaters (WTRHTR) that would contradict this. Remarks do not mention hot water as a separate expense. Together, this strongly suggests building-provided hot water is included in the maintenance fees.
Internet service is checked as included on 2 of 5 MLS listings and is explicitly confirmed in one set of remarks: 'Monthly maintenance fees include cable and internet service.' No listing describes internet as solely a unit-by-unit responsibility. This indicates that at least basic internet service is provided through the HOA.
All MLS entries omit any marina-related fee inclusion, and the remarks describe the location by the canal but not a marina amenity. This is strong evidence that marina fees are not included in the HOA.
Every recent MLS listing (5 of 5) marks sewer as included in the association fees, with no remarks suggesting separate sewer billing. This uniform pattern across multiple agents strongly supports that sewer service is covered by the monthly maintenance fees. There is no evidence of any exception at the building level.
Water is consistently shown as included in the HOA on all 5 current MLS listings. None of the public remarks indicate that residents pay for water separately. This building-wide pattern strongly confirms that water service is included in the maintenance fees.
None of the remarks describe BBQ or grill areas, and agents consistently leave BBQ unchecked in the MLS. This strongly indicates the building does not provide BBQ facilities.
Zero of four listings mark bike storage in amenities, and no public remarks mention a bike room, bike racks, or bicycle storage. The consistent omission across all available data strongly indicates the building does not offer dedicated bike storage facilities.
Remarks describe views of the canal, not boating facilities or mooring rights. This makes it very likely that there is no dedicated boat dock amenity for residents.
Parking is mentioned only as a convenient stall near the entry, with no extra services. The lack of any car wash reference suggests this amenity is not offered.
All descriptions focus on the secure boutique nature of the building, pool/lounge, and meeting room, with no reference to any clubhouse. Consistent absence across listings indicates there is no clubhouse.
Across 4 separate listings, there is no mention of concierge or front-desk services despite detailed amenity descriptions. Given the unchecked MLS fields and lack of textual evidence, concierge service does not appear to be offered in this building.
Pet-specific outdoor spaces are not described in any remarks. With 0/4 listings checking a dog park amenity, it's very likely the building does not offer a dog park.
Descriptions highlight a 'secure, boutique building' and FOB-controlled entry but never reference a doorman or lobby attendant, which would typically be advertised. The consistent omission across multiple listings indicates the building does not offer doorman service.
Across all provided remarks, there is no reference to any exercise room or fitness facility. With 0/4 MLS listings marking an exercise-related amenity, it is very likely the building does not offer this feature.
The building is presented as secure and well-located but not as a full-service luxury high-rise with transportation services. This strongly indicates there is no limousine or house car service.
The third set of remarks clearly advertises a 'Reading & Meeting room' as part of the building amenities. Along with 2/4 MLS listings marking a meeting room, this strongly supports that the building has a shared meeting room for residents.
3 of 4 listings describe significant outdoor spaces such as an 'expansive wrap-around lanai', 'wonderful wrap-around lanai', and 'private balcony'. This shows the building offers lanai/deck-style outdoor areas for at least some units, making patio/deck a relevant feature for buyers.
Agents highlight proximity to the canal and beaches but not any private or building-controlled jogging path. This suggests there is no dedicated jogging path amenity tied to the building itself.
The building is described more as an adult-oriented boutique Waikiki condo with pool and meeting room, without family play amenities. The absence of any playground mentions across 4 listings supports that no playground exists.
Across 4 listings, outdoor space is consistently described as lanais or a balcony, with no references to any yard, fenced yard, or private ground-level outdoor space. Given the high-rise urban context and repeated focus on lanais, it's very likely there is no private yard amenity.
Although there are views of the golf course, there is no indication of an on-site putting green. Consistent MLS and remark silence indicates this feature is not present.
The building clearly has a pool and adjacent lounge, but agents do not label it as a separate recreation deck/area in remarks or MLS. This suggests the building is not marketed as having a distinct recreation area amenity.
The only common room explicitly named is a Reading & Meeting room, which is more of a quiet/meeting space than a recreation room. With no MLS rec room boxes checked and no 'rec room' style language, a recreation room is unlikely.
All dining references are to nearby neighborhood options, not a building restaurant or café. With 0/4 MLS listings marking restaurant amenities, the building appears not to have its own restaurant.
Views and lanai features are highlighted, but nothing about a communal rooftop space. The consistent lack of mention plus unchecked MLS rooftop amenity imply no rooftop amenities.
Amenities consistently described are pool, lounge area, and Reading & Meeting room, with no sauna language anywhere. With most MLS entries not marking a sauna and no textual support, it's probable the building does not have a sauna.
Two of four listings flag storage/extra storage in MLS, but the only storage described in remarks is in-unit (closets and a large storage area within a unit), not separate building lockers. No listing mentions dedicated storage units or lockers, indicating the building likely does not offer formal storage units beyond normal in-unit space.
Searched for 'surfboard storage', 'board storage', and similar phrases. Found no evidence in the remarks that the building provides surfboard storage.
There are no mentions of tennis courts or similar facilities in any remarks. Combined with 0/4 MLS checkboxes, this supports that the building does not have tennis courts.
Despite being a mid/high-rise, agents do not note trash chutes as an amenity, and MLS data does not support their presence. This suggests the building either lacks trash chutes or they are not a standard amenity.
Parking is consistently described as assigned stalls, sometimes covered, but never as valet or valet-assisted. In a small, boutique building where agents highlight amenities like pool and security, the absence of any valet mention strongly indicates there is no valet service.
Remarks describe the property as 'located at the corner of Kuamo St & Ala Wai Blvd' and emphasize views and proximity to the canal and beaches, without any reference to gates, fencing, or perimeter walls. With 0/4 MLS records indicating gated or walled amenities, a wall/fence feature is unlikely.
Agents call out a pool but never a separate spa or hot tub. The combined absence in remarks and MLS suggests the building does not have a whirlpool.
Multiple listings for The Bel-Aire clearly describe a shared pool amenity, including phrases like 'community pool, sauna,' 'a relaxing pool/lounge area,' and 'Pool and lounge area just off the lobby.' Four of the five recent remarks explicitly reference the pool, aligning with MLS amenities data for all current listings. Evidence is strong and consistent across different units and agents, confirming that the building has a common pool available to residents.
While multiple listings describe a building pool, none refer to it as heated, and the specific heated-pool amenity is unchecked in all 4 MLS entries. Agents consistently market other pool features but never mention heating, indicating the building’s pool is most likely not heated. Evidence points to a standard, unheated pool rather than a heated facility.
Searched for 'salt water pool', 'saltwater', 'salt pool' in remarks. Pool is mentioned but there is no explicit mention that it is a saltwater pool.
Multiple MLS entries (5/5) list washer/dryer in the inclusions, and one current remark clearly says there is a "washer/dryer in unit." While not every remark mentions laundry, the explicit statement plus consistent MLS data strongly confirms that some units in this building offer in-unit laundry, so buyers seeking that feature should consider this property.
Across all four listings, there is no mention of a community or shared laundry room in either the amenities checkboxes or the written remarks. Agents do highlight other building amenities such as the pool and meeting room, implying that if shared laundry existed it would likely be noted. This pattern supports the conclusion that there is no community laundry facility in the building.
I searched remarks for indicators of paid community laundry (coin-op, quarters, card operated, 'paid laundry'). Found none; some units mention in-unit washer/dryer but no paid community laundry references.
Searched remarks for phrases like 'laundry on each floor', 'laundry room on every floor', and 'floor-by-floor laundry'. No language indicating community laundry on every floor was found.
Every listing for this building includes at least one parking option in the MLS features, and none indicate no parking. Remarks explicitly state there is a 'convenient parking stall near the entry,' confirming that on-site parking is available to residents.
Most MLS records mark assigned parking, and one unit description specifically calls out a 'covered assigned parking stall.' This strongly supports that the building offers deeded/assigned stalls rather than purely unassigned parking.
Multiple listings for this building indicate covered parking, with 5/5 current MLS entries checking covered/garage-style options and at least one remark explicitly mentioning a 'covered assigned parking stall.' Other listings reference a 'convenient parking stall near the entry,' consistent with a structured, covered parking area. Evidence is strong and consistent across listings and time, supporting that the building offers covered parking stalls.
Listings reference assigned/covered parking stalls and a 'convenient parking stall near the entry', which suggests assigned parking but not explicitly deeded. No explicit 'deeded' language was found, so we mark deeded as false with low confidence.
Across four separate listings, EV charging is never checked in MLS features and is not mentioned in any remarks. Given that EV amenities are usually marketed prominently when available, this strongly suggests the building does not offer EV charging stations.
Searched for dollar amounts and phrases indicating a monthly parking fee or additional parking cost; none were present in the remarks, so parking fee is unknown.
Guest or visitor parking is not mentioned once in four sets of remarks and is never marked in MLS checkboxes. This consistent omission indicates the building likely does not provide dedicated guest parking stalls.
Security features are described for the building entry, but there is no indication that the parking area itself is gated or has separate secure access. With SECENT unchecked in all MLS records, it is unlikely that the parking has a dedicated secured entry system.
Listings consistently refer to one standard stall per unit and never mention tandem or back-to-back configurations. The absence of the TANDEM checkbox across all units supports that tandem parking is not a feature of this building.
There is no reference to valet or attended parking in any MLS data or narrative descriptions, despite multiple opportunities to highlight such a service. This strongly indicates that the building does not offer valet parking.
Searched for 'parking waitlist' and related phrases; the remarks only describe assigned/convenient parking stalls. No waitlist language was found.
One listing notes 'secure building with security FOB for entry,' which clearly refers to building entry rather than elevator access. No listing mentions keyed, fob, or restricted elevators, so there is no evidence of a secure elevator system as a building feature.
Multiple listings state the building has secured entry and a security FOB/keycard for entry, confirming electronic card/fob access.
Across 4 listings, there are no explicit mentions of a security guard or staffed security personnel. Phrases like 'secure building' and 'safe and secure environment' appear to be generic marketing rather than descriptions of guard service, and MLS amenities for security guards are unchecked in all cases.
Searched for references to patrol services or roving security. The building is described as secure with FOB entry and on-site management, but no language indicates a security patrol service.
Remarks reference a 'secure building with security FOB for entry' but never mention video or camera-based security. With 0/4 listings checking a security system amenity and no textual evidence of cameras, video surveillance is unlikely to be a defined building feature.
Across 4 listings, central air is never mentioned in remarks and 0/4 MLS records have central AC-related checkboxes selected. One listing explicitly advertises 'split A/C', which typically would not be emphasized if there were building-wide central air, supporting the conclusion that there is no central AC system.
At least one current listing explicitly advertises 'split A/C,' and 3 of 5 current MLS entries check the split A/C inclusion. This aligns with prior high-confidence evidence that units in this building have mini-split systems, so buyers seeking split A/C should consider this building.
No listing remarks explicitly mention window A/C, but 3 of 5 current MLS entries mark the window-unit A/C checkbox. Given repeated MLS indications across multiple listings and no evidence that this was corrected or removed, it is likely that some units use window A/C.
Across all current and past MLS entries for this building, the construction_materials field is uniformly set to CONCRE, indicating concrete construction. Although the public remarks do not explicitly state 'concrete construction,' there is no evidence suggesting any other primary structure type or a change from concrete. Given the consistency over multiple listings and time, the building is reliably concrete-constructed.
MLS data omits double wall (DOUWAL) across all listings, and the remarks focus on a concrete high-rise style building. This makes double wall construction unlikely for this property as represented in MLS.
MLS data does not show hollow tile (HOLTIL) checked on any listing, and remarks are silent about hollow tile. This indicates the building is not described or marketed as hollow tile construction.
No MLS entry checks the masonry/stucco option (MASSTU), and there are no mentions of stucco or masonry in the remarks. This suggests the building is not classified in MLS as masonry and stucco construction.
MLS data uniformly identifies the building as concrete with no steel frame (STEFRA) checked on any listing. The absence of any steel-frame references in remarks supports that it is not categorized as steel frame construction.
The SLAB option is unchecked in all available MLS records and there are no references to a concrete slab foundation in the remarks. Based on the MLS coding, the building is not represented as slab construction.
No analysis available
Every listing marks concrete construction and none check wood frame (WOOFRA) or mention wood framing in the remarks. This strongly indicates the building is not wood frame construction.
The above-ground construction flag (ABOGRO) is not used on any listing for this building. With no textual support in the remarks, MLS data indicates it is not categorized as an 'above ground' construction type.
No listing marks BRICK and there are no textual references to brick or brick-and-mortar construction. This provides strong evidence that brick construction is not a feature of this building.
Concrete (CONCRE) is consistently selected, while single wall (SINWAL) is never checked, nor mentioned in text. This strongly supports that the building is not single wall construction.
Searched listings for explicit STR language such as 'short-term rental allowed', 'vacation rental', 'TVU', or '30-day minimum'. No references to short-term rental policies were found, so STR allowed is set to false with medium confidence.
Because STR is not indicated, hotel rental-pool participation cannot apply. No listing mentions 'hotel rental pool', 'hotel rental program', or management by a hotel brand.
No listing text indicates a mandatory hotel rental pool or required participation; since STR is not indicated, mandatory pool participation is not applicable.
None of the 4 listings mention 'fee simple' or equivalent phrases, and the MLS tenure field does not explicitly show FS for any listing. Tenure type remains indeterminate, so the presence of Fee Simple units cannot be confirmed.
Across 4 listings, no remarks mention lease terms, lease rent, or expiration dates, and the MLS tenure field does not clearly mark any unit as Leasehold. As a result, the existence of Leasehold units in this building cannot be confirmed.
Searched for phrases like 'lease expires 2050', 'land lease to', 'leasehold expiring in', and explicit four-digit expiry years. No leasehold or lease expiry year was found in the remarks, so the lease expiry is unknown.
Public remarks explicitly reference a VA assumable loan and inviting VA buyers, which indicates the building accepts VA financing. This is strong evidence from the listing text.
There is no reference to HOA or building insurance scope in the provided listings. Without explicit claims of full or walls-in coverage, the building is assumed not to be fully insured by the HOA for this field.
None of the 4 listings mention a sprinkler system in the remarks, and the FIRSPR amenity is unchecked in all cases. Because many agents omit this detail even when present, the presence or absence of fire sprinklers cannot be reliably determined.
The remarks mention security features like a secure building and security FOB access but do not mention any fire/life safety evaluation or inspection results. In the absence of explicit statements, this is marked as not passed 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
No listing remarks or MLS view_descriptions reference ocean, shoreline, or Pacific views, despite detailed promotion of other views. The building fronts the Ala Wai Canal on the mauka side of Waikiki, making ocean views from units unlikely. Evidence from 4/4 listings consistently omits ocean, so this is treated as a correction that the building does not offer ocean-view units.
Two separate listings highlight mountain views, e.g., 'breathtaking views of the ... lush mountains' and 'panoramic views ... toward Ala Wai, golf course, mountains and Waikiki.' The building fronts the Ala Wai Canal with a clear mauka exposure, and MLS view tags (MOUNTA in 2/5 listings, none with NONE) confirm that at least some units have consistent mountain views.
Listings highlight canal, golf course, mountains, and Waikiki skyline, but never Diamond Head, which agents typically market heavily if present. MLS view_descriptions also lack any DIAHEA entries. Given the detailed view marketing across several listings, it is very likely the building does not offer Diamond Head views.
Remarks describe 'Waikiki skyline', 'Waikiki', and 'breathtaking city views', indicating strong city/urban vistas from multiple units. The building’s central Waikiki location supports this, and MLS data partially confirms it. Evidence across several agents and units shows city views are a reliable building feature.
Agents repeatedly promote wide open views but never mention coastline or shoreline, which would be a strong selling point if present. The building’s inland, canal-front position also makes coastline vistas unlikely. Consistent omission across detailed view descriptions indicates the building does not offer coastline views.
Even the ground-floor unit describes only Ala Wai Canal views and a large storage area, without mentioning any garden or courtyard outlook. Upper-floor listings also omit any garden/landscaped view language while detailing other views. This sustained absence across agents and unit types indicates the building does not meaningfully offer garden views.
Remarks describe 'breathtaking views of the Ala Wai Canal, golf course, lush mountains, and the Waikiki skyline' and 'views ... toward Ala Wai, golf course, mountains and Waikiki.' This shows that at least some units look directly toward the adjacent golf course. Evidence from multiple listings and supporting MLS data indicates golf-course-view units exist in the building.
Multiple listings state direct Ala Wai Canal views from living areas and lanais, such as 'breathtaking views of the Ala Wai Canal' and 'View of the Ala Wai Canal from the living / dining room & kitchen & bath.' The building is located directly along the Ala Wai, and consistent MARCAN tagging across recent MLS entries supports that many units offer canal/marina-style views.
One listing highlights 'watching the sunset after a day at the beach,' implying a primarily western-facing exposure. No remarks mention sunrise or morning sun in any context. Given consistent sunset-oriented marketing and lack of east-facing language, the building is unlikely to offer notable sunrise views.
Remarks describe enjoying 'watching the sunset after a day at the beach' from the lanai, showing that some units face west enough to capture sunset views. This aligns with the building’s Ala Wai frontage and typical Waikiki orientation. While not every listing repeats it, the explicit description provides strong evidence that sunset-view units exist.
All four listings focus on canal, golf course, mountain, and city vistas with no hint of a cemetery outlook. The known neighborhood context strongly suggests no cemetery is in the view corridor. Together, this provides very high confidence that cemetery views are not a feature of this building.
Searched for phrases like 'watch fireworks from lanai' or 'fireworks view from unit'. Remarks describe views of the Ala Wai Canal, golf course, mountains and skyline but do not mention fireworks view from the building.

The remarks for all 4 listings are silent on pet policies—there is no language about being pet-friendly or about prohibiting pets. Because only explicit mentions can confirm the policy, the building’s pet status remains uncertain based on these remarks alone.
Across 4 listings, there is no reference to an on-site or resident manager in remarks, and the RESMAN amenity is not selected. Due to the common under-reporting of this feature, the building's resident manager status remains uncertain.
All 4 listings describe conventional condominium living (owner-occupant style, pool, lounge, security FOB entry) without any hotel-style services or programs. The absence of condotel-related language across multiple agents indicates this is not a condotel building.
Across 4 listings, the building is always referred to as a condo, never as a co-op or cooperative, and there is no sign of share-based ownership language. This strongly supports that it is a condominium, 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.
