Kahala Towers

Preliminary Information – Full Audit Pending

This buildings features were determined from publicly available data, including MLS listings. While we cross-referenced additional data sources, it still likely contains incomplete or inaccurate information, as it has not yet been personally verified.

Once a building has been fully audited, this page will be replaced with an in-depth analysis featuring verified details and photos of every key feature.

Until then, we provide a data‑driven overview that blends statistical analysis of the checkbox selections agents make in MLS with an AI‑powered read of their public remarks—yielding a clearer picture of the building than raw listings alone.

If this building is important to your search, you can help prioritize it for a full audit by requesting one below. To see what a complete report looks like, check out the example full report.

No analysis available

Owner Occupancy
Low

I looked for explicit ownership-occupancy information such as "80% owner occupied," "majority owner occupied," or similar wording. The remarks describe the building as pet-friendly and well maintained, but provide no owner-occupancy percentage or comparable indicator. Without a stated figure, the level of owner occupancy is unknown.

Elevators
Low

I searched the remarks for explicit elevator counts such as "4 elevators," "four elevators," or "multiple elevators." The listings only mention elevators in passing, such as being near the elevator, not the number of elevators. Because no count is stated, the exact number remains unknown.

Association Fee Low
$876
High

Calculated from the lowest association fee observed across all non-penthouse unit listings for this building.

Association Fee High
$1,455
High

Calculated from the highest association fee observed across all non-penthouse unit listings for this building.

Association Fee (Penthouse)
High

Calculated from association fees observed in penthouse unit listings for this building.

Fee Includes Central AC
No

No analysis available

Fee Includes Cable
Yes
High

Evidence is strong and consistent across the building. The MLS currently has CABTV checked in 12 of 20 listings, and at least one remark explicitly says the maintenance fee includes "cable tv." This looks like a true building-level inclusion rather than a copy-paste anomaly.

Fee Includes Common
Yes
Medium

The main evidence is the current MLS checkbox pattern: 13 of 20 listings have OTCOEX checked. There are no clear public-remark confirmations, so this is moderately strong but still somewhat dependent on agent-entered MLS data that could be copied forward.

Fee Includes Coop Taxes
No

No analysis available

Fee Includes Electricity
No

No analysis available

Fee Includes Gas
No

No analysis available

Fee Includes Hot Water
No
High

This appears to be a correction to a mistaken MLS feature. No current listings check HOTWAT, and many units list a water heater in the unit/inclusions; remarks specifically mention "tankless water heater" and similar in-unit setups. That combination strongly argues against building-supplied hot water being included in maintenance fees.

Fee Includes Internet
No

No analysis available

Fee Includes Marina
No

No analysis available

Fee Includes Sewer
Yes
High

This is very strong evidence for sewer inclusion. The MLS is nearly unanimous at 19 of 20 listings, and the public remark directly confirms sewer is included in the maintenance fee. The evidence is consistent across multiple listings and appears reliable.

Fee Includes Water
Yes
High

Water inclusion is strongly supported by both MLS data and remarks. Nineteen of 20 current listings include WATER, and one listing explicitly says the maintenance fee includes water. This is consistent building-level information, not a one-off agent note.

Bbq
Yes
High

Strong evidence: many listings reference building BBQ facilities (examples: "pool and BBQ," "BBQ area," "BBQ areas"). At least a dozen separate remarks explicitly mention a BBQ or BBQ area across multiple agents, consistent with prior high-confidence MLS data indicating the BBQ amenity is widely offered.

Putting Green
No
Low

Only 1/20 MLS listings indicate a putting green and there are no mentions of "putting green" or similar in the public remarks. The MLS presence appears isolated and uncorroborated by agent remarks, so evidence for a building putting green is weak.

Recreation Area
Yes
Medium

Evidence is moderate rather than overwhelming. Only 5 of 20 current MLS listings explicitly include RECARE, but multiple remarks point to shared amenity space, especially the listing describing "entertainment spaces" plus pools and walking paths. This looks like a real building amenity, but the remarks also suggest some copy-paste reuse rather than consistent explicit verification across agents.

Surfboard Storage
No
Low

I searched for surfboard storage-related terms such as 'surfboard storage,' 'board storage,' or 'surf storage.' The public remarks discuss parking, pool, management, and laundry, but nothing indicates surfboard storage facilities.

Tennis Court
No

No analysis available

Trash Chute
Yes
High

Trash chute has very strong support. The MLS checkbox is present in 18 of 20 listings, and at least one remark explicitly references being "convenient to trash chute and elevators." The evidence is consistent across listings and aligns with the historical high-confidence data.

Valet
No

No analysis available

Wall Fence
No

No analysis available

Whirlpool
No

No analysis available

Pool
Yes
High

The evidence for a building pool is extremely strong. Across the provided remarks, well over 15 listings explicitly mention a pool, including phrases such as 'a pool,' 'swimming pool,' 'pool and BBQ area,' 'salt water pool,' and 'adult and children's swimming pools.' This is consistent across multiple listings and appears to be reliable building-level amenity data rather than a one-off agent error.

Pool Heated
No

No analysis available

Pool Salt
Yes
High

One listing directly states "salt water pool," which is clear evidence that the pool is saltwater. This is strong, explicit public-remarks evidence.

Laundry In Unit
Yes
High

Strong evidence that Kahala Towers offers in-unit laundry in at least some units. Across the provided listings, many agents explicitly mention "in-unit washer/dryer," "new washer/dryer," "washer and dryer is original," and "full-size washer and dryer," indicating this is not a one-off copy-paste error. The current MLS pattern of 19/20 listings including washer/dryer aligns with the remarks and supports high confidence.

Community Laundry
No

No analysis available

Community Laundry Paid
No
Low

I looked for references to coin laundry, paid laundry, laundry fees, card-operated machines, or quarters. The remarks only mention in-unit washer/dryer and a hall laundry area, so there is no evidence the community laundry is paid.

Community Laundry Every Floor
No
Low

I searched the public remarks for language like 'laundry on each floor,' 'laundry room on every floor,' or 'floor-by-floor laundry.' The only laundry references were to in-unit washer/dryer and a 'hall laundry area,' which does not confirm laundry on every floor.

Parking
Yes
High

Parking is clearly available in this building. Multiple listings mention “one assigned parking stall,” “two parking stalls, one covered & one open,” “guest parking,” and even specific stall numbers. Evidence is consistent across many listings and appears to be repeated by different agents, not a one-off copy-paste.

Parking Assigned
Yes
High

Assigned parking is supported by both the MLS checkbox data and the listing remarks. Many units specifically say “one assigned parking stall,” “assigned open parking,” or “assigned covered parking,” indicating reserved stalls are commonly offered in the building. The evidence is strong and repeated across multiple agents/listings.

Parking Covered
Yes
High

Moderate-to-strong evidence that the building offers covered parking: 6 of 20 MLS records check covered/garage, and multiple public remarks explicitly state covered stalls such as "one covered & one open" and "1 assigned covered parking stall," indicating covered parking is available in the building.

Parking Deeded
No
Low

I searched for terms like "deeded parking," "owned stall," or "parking included in deed." The listings consistently describe assigned parking stalls, covered/open stalls, and stall locations, but they do not state that the parking is deeded.

Parking E V
No

No analysis available

Parking Fee
Low

I looked for any parking rental charge, monthly parking fee, or additional parking cost. The remarks discuss assigned parking, guest parking, and availability, but no listing states a separate parking fee.

Parking Guest
Yes
Medium

Evidence that guest parking is available: 6 of 20 MLS checkbox entries list guest parking and several agent remarks explicitly mention "guest parking" or "guest parking and street parking," so the building offers guest parking though it appears less ubiquitous than assigned stalls.

Parking Secured Entry
No

No analysis available

Parking Tandem
No

No analysis available

Parking Valet
No

No analysis available

Parking Waitlist
No
Low

I searched for "parking waitlist," "parking waiting list," or similar queue-related language. The remarks do not mention any waitlist system for parking.

Security Keyed Elevator
No

No analysis available

Security Card
No
Low

I looked for card/fob-based access terms such as 'key card access,' 'fob access,' 'card reader,' or 'electronic access.' The remarks mention secure entry, security guard, and security cameras, but do not specify card or fob access.

Security Guard
Yes
High

This feature is strongly supported by the historical MLS checkbox data and reinforced by current remarks. Multiple listings mention security-related amenities such as "secure entry," "security," "security cameras," and "24/7 security," indicating this is a real building-level feature rather than a copy-paste anomaly. The evidence appears consistent across several agents/listings.

Security Patrol
Yes
Low

I searched for explicit patrol language like 'security patrol,' 'roving security,' or 'patrolled building.' The remarks reference security, security guards, 24/7 security, and secure entry, but do not confirm a patrol service.

Security Video
Yes

No analysis available

Central AC
No

No analysis available

Split AC
No

No analysis available

Window AC
Yes

No analysis available

Concrete
Yes
High

Concrete construction appears to be a stable building feature based on current MLS checkbox data: 17 of 20 listings mark construction_materials as concrete. None of the public remarks explicitly call it out, which suggests agents may be copying MLS building data rather than describing it in remarks, but the repeated checkbox pattern still provides strong evidence.

Double Wall
No
Low

4 of 20 current MLS listings check 'DOUWAL' for double-wall construction, but none of the public remarks mention double-wall construction. Included because some listings indicate it, but confidence is low due to lack of remark corroboration (0.40).

Hollow Tile
No

No analysis available

Masonry/Stucco
No

No analysis available

Steel Frame
No

No analysis available

Slab
No
Low

Only 1 of 20 current MLS listings checks 'SLAB' and there are zero mentions of 'concrete slab' or 'solid concrete foundation' in the public remarks. Due to the single checkbox and no corroborating remarks, the feature is included with low confidence (0.25).

Stone
No

No analysis available

Wood Frame
No

No analysis available

Above Ground
No
High

Only 7 of 20 current MLS listings have 'ABOGRO' checked, and none of the public remarks mention 'above ground' construction or related details. With no historical verification and no explicit remarks, the checkbox usage appears inconsistent and likely copy/paste; therefore this feature is omitted as a verified building-level attribute.

Brick
No

No analysis available

Single Wall
No

No analysis available

STR Allowed
No
Low

I looked for explicit short-term rental indicators such as "STR permitted," "vacation rental allowed," "NUC," or "TVU," as well as restrictive phrases like "30-day minimum" or "owner-occupant only." None appear in the remarks, so short-term rental allowance is not supported by the listings.

STR Hotel Pool
No
Low

I searched for references to hotel rental pools or hotel-managed programs such as Hilton, Trump, or Ritz-style pools. The remarks do not mention any hotel rental pool participation, and there is no evidence that STR is allowed.

STR Mandatory Pool
No
Low

I looked for language indicating required participation in a rental program, such as "mandatory hotel pool" or "must be in rental program." No such wording appears in the remarks, and there is no evidence of an STR program at all.

Land Tenure: Fee Simple
Yes

No analysis available

Land Tenure: Leasehold
No

No analysis available

Lease Expiry Year
Low

I looked for any ground lease, leasehold, lease expiration, or renewal language such as "lease expires 2050" or "renewed through 2075." The remarks do not mention a leasehold expiry year, so the expiration date remains unknown from these listings.

Financing V A
No
Low

I searched the public remarks for explicit VA approval language such as "VA approved," "VA financing," or "VA loans accepted." Nothing in the listings indicates VA eligibility, so this cannot be confirmed from the remarks.

Insured Fully
No
Low

I searched the public remarks for HOA insurance language like fully insured, full insurance, walls-in coverage, or comprehensive building insurance. The listings discuss HOA fees, special assessments, and building amenities, but do not mention insurance coverage. There is no evidence here to confirm the building is fully insured.

Fire Sprinklers
No

No analysis available

Fire Life Safety Eval Pass
No
Low

I looked for phrases indicating the building passed a fire/life safety evaluation, such as FLSE passed, fire safety certified, or passed fire inspection. The remarks mention asbestos remediation, re-piping, security, and new elevators, but nothing about a fire/life safety evaluation passing. With no explicit confirmation, this remains unsupported.

Flood Zone (Current)
X
High

Flood zone determined from official FEMA Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) data using building coordinates, not from agent-reported listing data.

Flood Zone (June 2026)
X

No analysis available

View: Ocean
Yes
High

Strong evidence that the building offers ocean views: 14 of 20 current MLS listings list OCEAN in view_descriptions, and multiple public remarks explicitly state "ocean views", "panoramic ocean", "ocean and Diamond Head views", and "coastline". Mentions appear across numerous agent postings rather than a single copy/paste, supporting high confidence that buyers can find units with ocean views in this building.

View: Mountain
Yes

No analysis available

View: Diamond Head
Yes
High

Multiple listings explicitly reference Diamond Head views (e.g., "Diamond Head views", "Diamond Head directly from your living room", "sweeping... views stretching from Diamond Head to Koko Head"). Evidence is consistent across many agent remarks, indicating the building offers Diamond Head-view units.

View: City
Yes
Medium

Across the listings, 10 of 20 MLS entries mark CITY in the view field, but the public remarks themselves consistently describe ocean, Diamond Head, coastline, golf course, treetop, and neighborhood views instead of city views. This looks more like checkbox-level MLS data than agent-verified wording, so the evidence for city views is moderate and somewhat inconsistent.

View: Coastline
Yes
High

Several listings explicitly reference coastline/shoreline views (e.g., "panoramic coastline & tree-top ocean view", "view of the ocean/coastline"). Multiple agent remarks corroborate the MLS entries, supporting that the building offers coastline-view units.

View: Garden
No

No analysis available

View: Golf Course
Yes
Medium

Some listings explicitly mention golf course or Waialae Country Club views (for example, "view of the ocean/coastline and Golf Course", "Waialae Country Club"). This is not as widespread as ocean or Diamond Head claims, but multiple agent remarks indicate the building does offer golf-course-view units.

View: Marina
No

No analysis available

View: Sunrise
Yes

No analysis available

View: Sunset
No

No analysis available

View: Cemetery
No

No analysis available

Fireworks View
No
Low

I searched for explicit references to watching Friday night fireworks from a lanai or from the unit/building. The remarks mention ocean, Diamond Head, golf course, and coastline views, but nothing about fireworks views.

Frontage Type
Golf Course

No analysis available

Pets Allowed
Yes

No analysis available

Resident Manager
Yes
High

This feature is strongly supported across the listings. Multiple remarks explicitly mention "on-site management," "on-site manager & office," "resident manager," and "onsite manager," matching the historical MLS RESMAN checkbox pattern (17 of 20 listings). The evidence appears consistent across multiple agents rather than a one-off copy-paste error.

Condotel
No

No analysis available

Coop
No

No analysis available

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.
