Building Features & Data Confidence
All features from MLS data with AI-assisted confidence analysis. Click each category to expand and see details.
All MLS records for this building consistently list 1960 as the year built (10 of 10 listings), and the 'mid-century' characterization in remarks aligns with that date. There is no evidence of an alternate construction year.
Remarks from several independent listings call Ohua Gardens a 'two-story walk-up building.' No remarks suggest any additional floors, and all unit floor numbers are 1 or 2, so the building is best supported as 2 stories tall.
No listing mentions the total number of units in Ohua Gardens, and MLS summary data for unit_total is not usable. The building clearly has multiple units, but the exact total cannot be determined from the available information.
The remarks include language about use as an investment, vacation home, or primary residence but do not quantify owner occupancy. With no explicit owner-occupancy percentage mentioned, the prior value of 17% is kept, though it cannot be confirmed from the listings alone.
All remarks consistently refer to the building as a two-story walk-up and emphasize ground-floor convenience to avoid stairs or elevators. No listing mentions any elevators being present. This strongly supports the current value of zero elevators.
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.
Listings describe "window AC" and "window air conditioning unit," indicating individual window units, not central air. With no mention of central AC in remarks and no MLS checkboxes for central AC, it is not a building feature and thus not included in the fees.
Multiple listings describe the included utilities in detail—"utilities such as water, sewer, gas, and electric" and "All utilities are included including electric and internet!"—but none mention cable TV. Given cable would be a marketing point and is omitted every time, and only 4/10 MLS entries check CABTV, it's likely cable is not part of the maintenance fee.
Ohua Gardens has shared elements like a "serene courtyard," "lush tropical garden," gated entry, on-site laundry, and common areas whose electricity is almost always paid by the association. With OTCOEX checked in a majority of MLS listings, it is very likely common area electricity is included in the maintenance fee.
Remarks repeatedly emphasize "Fee Simple" ownership and never refer to co-op structure or co-op taxes. With no MLS indication of COOTAX, there is no basis to think co-op taxes are part of the fees.
Multiple listings say "low maintenance fees that include electricity," "Maintenance fees include electricity, water, sewer," and "The low maintenance fee includes utilities such as ... electric." Another states "All utilities are included including electric," and the MLS consistently shows ELECTR, so electricity is clearly included.
Listings reference gas appliances and specifically note "utilities such as water, sewer, gas, and electric" being included in the maintenance fee. Together with all MLS records checking GAS, this strongly supports gas being included.
Some listings mention "all utilities" being included but do not mention individual water heaters, and no MLS entries show in-unit water heaters. With HOTWAT marked in half the MLS records and the building’s small, older walk-up profile, it is likely that domestic hot water is provided centrally and included in the fees.
At least one agent clearly advertises that internet is included in the utilities, which would be a key selling point if true. Combined with another "all utilities" remark and supporting MLS data, this indicates that internet service is included in the maintenance fee.
Ohua Gardens is described as a walk-up condo in central Waikiki with courtyard and laundry, not a waterfront or marina property. With no textual or MLS evidence of any marina-related amenity, marina fees are not included.
Listings state "Maintenance fees include electricity, water, sewer" and "utilities such as water, sewer, gas, and electric" are included. This, plus consistent MLS coding, confirms sewer charges are paid via the maintenance fee.
Remarks note that "Maintenance fees include electricity, water, sewer" and that the fee covers "utilities such as water, sewer, gas, and electric." Together with universal MLS WATER checkboxes, this shows water is included in the maintenance fee.
Multiple listings describe the courtyard and landscaped common areas but never mention BBQs, grills, or a barbecue area. With 0/10 MLS entries marking BBQ and no textual evidence, it is very likely the building does not offer BBQ facilities.
Multiple remarks note that Ohua Gardens has an 'on-site laundry room, and bike storage racks,' directly confirming dedicated bicycle storage at the building level. The repetition of this description across more than one listing suggests a real, shared amenity rather than a one-off or unit-specific feature.
Listings highlight the urban/beach location but do not claim any on-site dock or marina facilities. The complete absence of such language and 0/10 MLS checkboxes indicate there is no boat dock associated with the building.
Parking is discussed only as street parking, rented parking, or waitlist parking, with no additional car-related amenities mentioned. The consistent lack of references along with 0/10 MLS support means there is almost certainly no car wash facility.
The building is repeatedly characterized as a quaint low-rise walk-up with simple amenities (laundry, bike storage, courtyard), and no agent describes a clubhouse or community center. Combined with 0/10 MLS checkboxes, this strongly indicates there is no clubhouse.
Listings describe a quaint, low-rise walk-up with a resident manager but never a concierge or staffed front desk. Absent any MLS or textual support, concierge service does not appear to be offered.
Although some listings mention a landscaped courtyard and tropical garden, none suggest a dedicated pet or dog park area. The absence of any pet-amenity language and 0/10 MLS checkboxes strongly indicate there is no dog park.
Access control is described only as "gated" or "gated card secured entryway," with no staffed lobby or attendant referenced. With 0/10 MLS checkboxes and no supporting remarks, a doorman service is very unlikely.
Across 10 listings, there are no references to a gym, fitness room, or fitness center, and MLS agents consistently leave this amenity unchecked (0/10). Descriptions focus on laundry, bike storage, gated access, and a courtyard, which strongly suggests there is no exercise room in the building.
This small, modestly described walk-up building does not present as a luxury high-rise and no agent mentions any form of building-provided car or limousine service. With MLS also fully omitting this amenity, limo service can be confidently ruled out.
The lone reference to a 'meeting area' appears to describe a small entrance seating space by mailboxes, not an enclosed community or conference room. Given that only 2/10 MLS records check a meeting room and no remarks describe a true meeting or conference facility, this amenity is likely being over-interpreted and should be treated as absent.
Across 10 listings, agents consistently describe a 'lush tropical courtyard' and 'open courtyard area' but never mention a patio, deck, lanai, or outdoor lounge-type amenity. With no MLS patio/deck flag and only generic courtyard references, there's insufficient evidence that the building offers a dedicated patio/deck feature.
Agents highlight proximity to parks, canals, and the beach but do not describe any dedicated jogging or walking paths within the property itself. The amenity is not checked in any MLS entries, so jogging paths should not be attributed to the building.
All descriptions focus on adult-oriented amenities like laundry, bike storage, and proximity to the beach, with no indication of children's play structures. Together with 0/10 MLS entries, this supports that there is no playground.
Multiple listings highlight shared outdoor spaces—'beautifully landscaped tropical garden in common area', 'common areas are landscaped', and 'lush garden setting'—but none mention a private yard, fenced yard, or private outdoor space for individual units. This indicates only common landscaping, not private yard areas.
Listings emphasize nearby beach, park, and urban conveniences but never mention any on-site golf or putting facilities. With consistent omission in both remarks and MLS, a putting green can safely be considered absent.
At least 4 of 10 listings reference a 'lush tropical courtyard' or 'beautifully landscaped tropical garden in common area,' but they are framed as entry/garden space rather than a recreation deck or amenity area. Since MLS agents uniformly do not flag a recreation area, the courtyard is best treated as general common space, not a formal recreation area.
Listings detail on-site laundry, bike storage, and a courtyard but never refer to any rec room or similar indoor amenity. With no textual support and MLS consistently omitting this amenity, it is very likely there is no recreation room.
Multiple listings emphasize walkable access to Waikiki restaurants rather than an in-building dining facility. With no explicit statement of an on-site restaurant and 0/10 MLS checkboxes, the building should not be considered to have a restaurant amenity.
None of the 10 listings reference a rooftop deck, rooftop access, or any amenities on the roof, and the building height (two stories) makes such amenities unlikely. With no text or MLS support, rooftop amenities can be ruled out.
Across 10 listings, agents do not reference any sauna or steam amenities, focusing instead on essential services and location. With zero MLS support, a sauna amenity can be excluded with high confidence.
At least one listing describes 'some storage units in the laundry room on the first floor,' indicating building-provided storage lockers. This is supported by 1/10 MLS records that check a storage/extra storage amenity. Although not mentioned in every listing, the explicit description provides strong evidence that the building offers storage units to residents.
Searched the remarks for terms like 'surfboard storage', 'board storage', 'surf storage', and combined bike/surfboard storage, but only 'bike storage racks' were mentioned. There is no explicit indication that the building provides dedicated surfboard storage facilities. Based on this absence, surfboard storage is assumed not to be available.
All 10 listings emphasize a compact, low-rise property with a courtyard and nearby city amenities, but none mention tennis courts. Given the building type and 0/10 MLS checkboxes, a tennis court is effectively ruled out.
Agents describe laundry rooms, bike storage, and various common areas but never mention trash or garbage chutes, which are uncommon in small two-story walk-ups. With no textual or MLS evidence, trash chutes should be treated as not present.
All 10 listings describe parking as waitlist-based or rentable nearby and sometimes note 'no deeded parking,' with no references to valet or concierge-style parking. The consistent emphasis on self-parking options strongly indicates there is no valet service at this building.
At least three distinct listings from different remarks describe the complex as gated, including a card-secured entryway. Combined with half of the MLS entries checking GATED/WALFEN, this strongly supports that the property is enclosed by a gate or fence.
The amenity set for this building is quite basic (laundry, gated entry, courtyard) and there is no mention of any pool or spa features. Both text and MLS data support that there is no whirlpool or hot tub on site.
Across all 10 listings, there are zero mentions of a pool, lap pool, or swimming facility, and the MLS pool amenities fields are consistently unchecked. The building is repeatedly described as a quaint, mid-century low-rise with a landscaped courtyard and tropical garden, with no indication of any shared pool. Given the consistent absence of references across multiple agents, it is very likely the building does not have a pool.
Since no pool is described or checked in the MLS data for any of the 10 listings, there is no plausible basis for a heated pool. None of the remarks use terms like 'heated pool' or 'heated swimming pool'; they only mention a tropical courtyard and garden. This consistent omission strongly indicates the building does not offer a heated pool.
Searched all remarks for terms like 'salt water pool', 'saltwater pool', 'salt pool', or 'saline pool' and found no references. There is no evidence that any pool, let alone a salt water pool, is present, so this feature is marked as false based on absence of mentions.
No listings reference an in‑unit washer/dryer, stacked laundry, or any form of private in‑unit laundry, and 0/10 MLS entries check washer/dryer in inclusions. All laundry mentions are clearly tied to shared/common facilities, indicating this building does not offer in‑unit laundry in its units.
Several listings mention community laundry, including phrases like 'on-site laundry room,' 'There is a dedicated area with low cost washers and dryers... in the laundry room on the first floor,' and 'There's a dedicated laundry room on site.' This is consistent across multiple agents and matches MLS amenities data, providing strong evidence the building has shared laundry facilities.
The mention of "low cost washers and dryers" implies coin- or card-operated community laundry. I looked for terms like coin laundry, paid laundry, or low-cost washers and found clear evidence that the community laundry is not free.
Listings describe one shared laundry room located on the first floor, not laundry facilities on each floor. I searched for phrases like "laundry on each floor" or "laundry room on every floor" and found none, so this feature is considered not present.
At least three listings explicitly mention building-controlled parking available via an AOAO waitlist (e.g., 'Parking is available via the building's waitlist', 'Parking can be rented ... via wait list from AOAO. No deeded parking.'). While no units have deeded or MLS-listed stalls, this indicates the building offers a limited number of on-site parking spaces that residents can rent. Buyers seeking a building with some parking availability would be interested in this option.
Remarks emphasize that there is 'No deeded parking' and describe parking as rentable or via waitlist, without any mention of assigned or reserved stalls. MLS parking_features never mark ASSIGN across 10 listings. This strongly suggests the building does not offer unit-specific assigned or deeded parking.
Across all listings, there is no mention of a garage, carport, or covered stalls for this building. Combined with the absence of any covered or garage codes in MLS parking_features, this indicates the building does not provide covered on-site parking.
Remarks clearly indicate that parking is not deeded: units rely on rented or waitlist parking rather than an owned stall tied to the deed. Phrases like "No deeded parking" and references to renting parking confirm that stalls are not owned with the units.
None of the remarks reference EV or electric vehicle charging, Tesla chargers, or stations. MLS data also shows no EVCHRG flag, so the building almost certainly lacks EV charging facilities.
There is evidence that parking is available for rent, but no listing specifies any monthly parking fee or rate. Searched for mentions of specific parking fees, monthly charges, or dollar amounts and found none, so the fee is unknown.
Remarks focus on resident parking scarcity and rental options, with no indication of dedicated guest or visitor stalls. The absence of any GUEST designation in MLS supports that the building does not offer formal guest parking.
Security descriptions clearly apply to pedestrian building entry and courtyard access, not to a garage or parking gate. With no MLS SECENT flags or references to secured parking access, the building likely lacks a separate secured-entry parking facility.
Given the detailed discussions of parking availability and constraints, the absence of any reference to tandem stalls is notable. Together with MLS data, this strongly indicates the building does not offer tandem parking.
All descriptions portray a modest walk-up with self-parking options, street parking, or off-site rentals, and no staff services. The lack of any mention of valet in remarks or MLS confirms that valet parking is not offered.
Multiple listings clearly describe a parking waitlist system administered by the building/AOAO. This repeated, explicit language strongly supports that parking is allocated through a waitlist.
The building is repeatedly called a two-story walk-up, and no elevator is mentioned in any listing or MLS amenities. Because there is no elevator at all, keyed/fob elevator security is definitively not present.
Multiple listings describe the building as gated, and one explicitly mentions a 'gated card secured entryway', confirming card-based access control. This strongly supports the presence of a card/fob security system for building entry.
Across all listings, security is described only in terms of the gated access and card-secured entry, with no reference to guards or staffed security. With 0/10 MLS checkboxes for security guard and no textual mentions, this building very likely does not offer security guard service.
The remarks reference gated and card-secured entry and a resident manager but never mention any security patrol or roving guards. Given this absence across multiple listings, it is likely that there is no dedicated security patrol service.
Multiple listings highlight security via a gated and card-secured entry but never mention cameras or video systems. Given 0/10 MLS indications and no textual evidence, video surveillance is very unlikely to be a building feature.

Most current MLS listings (8/10) identify the building as concrete construction, and none indicate an alternative primary structural system. Descriptions such as 'mid-century low-rise' and 'two-story walk-up' in Waikiki strongly align with common concrete walk-up construction. Although remarks don’t explicitly say 'concrete,' the MLS pattern and building type make concrete construction very likely.
Double-wall in local MLS usage usually refers to wood double-wall framing, which does not align with a mid-century concrete walk-up where 8/10 listings mark CONCRE. The solitary DOUWAL checkbox likely reflects agent error or confusion. Overall evidence indicates the building is not characterized by double-wall construction.
Neither MLS data nor remarks reference hollow-tile construction anywhere for this building. Given that agents repeatedly describe the facade and interior finishes but never note hollow tile, and no checkboxes support it, hollow-tile construction is unlikely to be a defining construction type here. It is reasonable to treat hollow tile as not applicable for this building.
The lone MASSTU checkbox appears to be an outlier compared with the rest of the MLS data, which focuses on concrete (and sometimes brick) but not stucco. Remarks give visual details like 'clean contemporary rock facade' and 'natural rock accent wall' without referencing stucco surfaces. This suggests masonry/stucco is not a primary or clearly recognized construction type for the building.
No MLS records indicate steel frame, and there are no remarks referencing steel construction or framing. For a low-rise, mid-century Waikiki walk-up, steel framing would be atypical. The evidence strongly suggests the building is not steel-frame.
Although only one listing marks SLAB, the building’s age, type, and location (mid-century low-rise, two-story walk-up in Waikiki) align strongly with typical slab-on-grade construction. No remarks contradict this, and none suggest alternative foundation types such as raised post-and-pier. Given local construction norms, a concrete slab foundation is a reasonable inference.
No analysis available
No listings report wood frame construction, while most identify concrete, and the building is a mid-century Waikiki walk-up, which is rarely wood-frame. In the absence of any remarks or MLS evidence supporting wood framing, wood-frame construction is very unlikely. This appears to be a concrete/masonry building, not a wood-frame one.
Above-ground (raised) construction is uncommon for mid-century concrete walk-up condos in Waikiki, which are more often built on slabs. The minimal and inconsistent MLS tagging (2/10) without any textual confirmation indicates 'above ground' is unlikely to be the correct construction designation for this property. It is more consistent to treat it as not above-ground construction in the MLS sense.
A significant minority of listings (4/10) check BRICK, indicating agents see brick elements in the building, even though remarks emphasize a 'clean contemporary rock facade' and a 'natural rock accent wall' rather than using the word 'brick.' This pattern suggests there are likely brick or brick-veneer components in the exterior or common areas. While not definitively confirmed in text, buyers should assume some brick is part of the construction.
Single-wall construction is characteristic of older wood houses in Hawaii, not mid-century concrete Waikiki condos. With nearly all MLS entries favoring concrete and only one listing marking single-wall (likely in error), there is strong evidence the building is not single-wall. Buyers should not expect traditional single-wall construction here.
Multiple listings market the units as rentals, vacation homes, or investment properties, but none clearly confirm that short-term or transient vacation rentals are legally allowed. I specifically looked for terms like 'short-term rental allowed', 'legal vacation rental', NUC/TVU references, or explicit minimum stay rules and found none, so STR is set to false by default due to lack of clear evidence.
I searched for phrases such as 'hotel rental pool', 'hotel program', 'managed by hotel', or brand-name hotel pool participation and found no mentions in any listing. Given the walk-up apartment description and no STR confirmation, there is strong evidence that no hotel pool program operates here.
Mandatory hotel pool participation requires clear statements like 'must be in rental program' or 'mandatory hotel pool', which are entirely absent. Since no hotel pool is mentioned and STR is not confirmed, mandatory participation is set to false with very high confidence.
Multiple independent listings refer to units as 'Fee Simple' (e.g., 'This Fee Simple, recently remodeled corner studio,' 'Very unique little fee simple studio unit,' 'Cute, fee simple studio'). Of 10 listings, 5 explicitly state fee simple and none describe leasehold, strongly confirming that fee simple units exist in this building.
Across 10 listings, none mention 'leasehold' or lease rent, and all explicit tenure descriptions are fee simple. Given the consistent lack of LH indications in both remarks and MLS fields, it is strongly inferred that this building does not offer leasehold units.
Because the property is described as fee simple rather than leasehold, there is no land lease to expire and thus no applicable lease expiry year. No lease-related dates are mentioned anywhere in the remarks.
The public remarks were reviewed for any references to VA approval or VA financing and none were found. In the absence of explicit statements that VA loans are accepted, the building is assumed not VA-approved, but this is not certain and could simply be omitted from the marketing remarks.
Remarks were examined for phrases indicating full or walls-in HOA insurance coverage and none appeared. Only utilities and general maintenance items are specified, so there is no evidence in the remarks that the building is fully insured by the HOA.
Ten separate listings omit any reference to fire sprinklers, and none have the fire-sprinkler amenity flagged in MLS. Combined with the building’s age and low-rise walk-up style, this strongly indicates there is no building fire sprinkler system.
The remarks were checked for terms like 'fire life safety evaluation', 'FLSE passed', 'fire safety certified', or 'passed fire inspection' and none were found. In the absence of any such statements, there is no evidence the building has a documented fire/life safety evaluation pass in the listings.
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 remarks across multiple listings mention any ocean, water, or makai views, despite heavy emphasis on being close to Waikiki Beach. MLS view data (0/10 with OCEAN, 4/10 with NONE) supports the conclusion that units in this low-rise building do not have ocean views.
None of the public remarks mention mountain or mauka views, even when describing unit outlooks. With 0/10 MLS listings tagging mountain views and some explicitly tagged as having no view, it is very likely the building does not offer notable mountain views.
Listings consistently emphasize location and garden/courtyard but never mention Diamond Head, which would normally be a strong selling point if present. Combined with 0/10 MLS view tags for Diamond Head, this indicates the building does not provide Diamond Head views.
At least one listing has CITY checked in the MLS view field, indicating some units look onto the urban surroundings. Given the building’s central Waikiki location and two-story configuration, it is reasonable to conclude that certain units have city views.
Agents repeatedly describe short walking distance to Waikiki Beach but do not claim any coastal or shoreline views from the units. The consistent lack of coastline-view mentions and MLS tags supports that coastline views are not a feature here.
Agents repeatedly emphasize the building’s landscaped courtyard and tropical garden setting, noting that units open directly to or are 'hidden away in a lush garden setting.' Combined with MLS garden-view tags, this strongly confirms that the building offers garden/courtyard views.
The proximity to a golf course is mentioned only as a nearby amenity, not as a visible feature from units. With no explicit golf course view mentions and no MLS tags for it, the building is not considered to offer golf course views.
Although the building is near the Ala Wai area, none of the agents describe any harbor, yacht harbor, or canal views in remarks. With 0/10 MLS listings tagging such views and some units marked as having no view, the building is unlikely to offer marina/harbor-type views.
Despite detailed descriptions of unit features and outlooks, no agent highlights sunrise or morning exposure as a selling point. The absence of such mentions and of any MLS sunrise tags indicates the building is not marketed as offering sunrise views.
Listings focus on garden, courtyard, and location near Waikiki but never mention sunsets or evening views, which would typically be highlighted if present. MLS data likewise lacks sunset view tags, so the building is not considered to offer sunset views.
Across all collected listings, there is no indication that any unit faces or overlooks a cemetery. The complete absence of cemetery-related remarks or view tags provides strong evidence that cemetery views are not a characteristic of this building.
The text was checked for phrases like 'fireworks view', 'watch fireworks from lanai', or similar, and none appear. While the building is near Waikiki, there is no explicit indication that units have a view of fireworks.
No analysis available
None of the 10 listings reference pets, pet-friendly status, or any dog/cat policies, and agents do not market the building as pet-friendly despite highlighting many other selling points. In the absence of any explicit indication that pets are allowed, the building is treated as not-pet-verified for now.
Most MLS entries (8 of 10) mark a resident manager amenity, and one listing explicitly notes 'a resident manager' on site. This repeated confirmation across multiple agents supports that the building has an on-site resident manager.
Listings market units as 'low rise condo', 'two-story walk-up building', and 'fee simple studio' suitable for residence or investment, but never mention hotel management, a front desk, or a hotel program. With no CONDOT flag and no hotel-operation language, this building does not appear to operate as a condotel.
Multiple listings explicitly call the units 'fee simple studio' or 'fee simple, recently remodeled corner studio' and reference an AOAO, which is typical of condominium ownership. There are no references to co-op ownership, shares, or cooperative tax treatment, so this building is very likely 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.
