Queen Emma Gardens
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.

The remarks mention that units are suitable for owner-occupants, tenants, investors, or renters, and one listing notes a current tenant, but these do not establish the building-wide owner-occupancy rate. No explicit percentage or reliable building-level owner-occupancy description was found.
The remarks explicitly confirm that the building has two elevators, including a statement that each tower has two elevators. This matches the current value and is reasonable for the 22-story, 589-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.

Cable TV inclusion is supported by multiple listings across the building, with several remarks explicitly saying maintenance fees include cable TV or listing a separate cable charge bundled into the fee. The evidence appears consistent across different agents and towers, suggesting a building-level feature rather than a one-off copy/paste error.
At least 3 listings explicitly state that maintenance fees include "common area expenses," and one listing says electricity is included in maintenance fees. Several other listings distinguish sub-metered unit electricity from the maintenance fee, supporting inclusion of common-area electricity; the evidence is repeated across multiple listings and aligns with the high historical confidence.
No analysis available
Most listings and remarks state unit electricity is sub‑metered and billed to owners (many explicit lines: "Electricity is sub-metered" / "billed monthly to owner"), and only a very small number claim electricity is included. MLS checkbox count (1/20) and widespread submeter notes indicate unit electricity is not included in maintenance fees for this building.
I do not see evidence that gas is included in the HOA/maintenance fees. The remarks consistently discuss water, sewer, hot water, and electricity, but gas is not mentioned, and the MLS indicator is sparse at 2/20 listings.
At least 5 listings explicitly mention hot water being included, commonly in the phrase "water, sewer, hot water" or "(hot) water." Although 1/20 MLS records contains WTRHTR, it appears to be an isolated inconsistency rather than evidence of a building-wide change. The repeated confirmations across listings support true.
Internet inclusion is only weakly supported. One remark references high-speed fiber optic internet and common-area WiFi for residents, but there are very few MLS inclusions and no broad pattern of explicit maintenance-fee internet language. This looks like a possible building amenity, but the evidence is not as strong as for water, sewer, cable, or hot water.
No analysis available
At least 7 listings explicitly mention sewer as included in maintenance fees, commonly in the phrases "water, sewer, hot water" or "water, sewer and cable." The repeated confirmation across multiple agents strongly supports that sewer remains included.
At least 7 listings explicitly confirm that water is included in maintenance fees, frequently alongside sewer and hot water. The wording appears across multiple listings and agents and agrees with the high-confidence MLS data, providing strong building-level evidence.
BBQ facilities are mentioned across many listings, with repeated references to 8 BBQ areas, grilling stations, BBQ alcoves, and picnic sites. The consistency across numerous remarks and the current MLS presence in 20/20 listings strongly confirms this building-level amenity.
No analysis available
No analysis available
There is no corroborating remark evidence for a car wash facility in this building. Despite a small amount of MLS checkbox support, the current remarks repeatedly describe other shared amenities and never reference a car wash, auto wash, or wash station. This looks like a likely MLS data error or unchecked copy-paste entry.
Several listings mention a 'conference room,' 'meeting room,' 'conference room/cards social room,' 'recreation area,' and 'recreation area with a full kitchen,' indicating shared clubhouse or community-center functionality. The evidence is moderately strong, though agents more often describe the component rooms and gathering spaces rather than using the exact word 'clubhouse.'
No analysis available
Dog-area evidence is modest but repeated: about 3 of 20 listings have the DGPRK amenity, and several remarks mention "dog walking with dog waste bins" or a "dog-friendly community." This is not as strong as BBQ or jogging-path evidence, but it is consistent enough to treat as a real building pet area amenity.
There is no meaningful remark-level evidence that the building has a doorman or lobby attendant. The only MLS signal is 1/20 listings with DOORMA, while the remarks repeatedly focus on security personnel and never mention a doorman, so this feature is best treated as absent.

No analysis available
Meeting-related facilities are directly confirmed in numerous remarks, including "conference room," "conference/meeting rooms," "meeting room and mini-library," "Tea House meeting rooms," and "tea houses/meeting rooms." The repeated explicit references across listings strongly support this shared building amenity.
Patio/deck amenities are strongly supported across the listings. Dozens of remarks explicitly mention a lanai or balcony, including phrases such as 'private lanai,' 'covered lanai,' 'balcony off the kitchen,' 'spacious balcony,' and 'large lanai.' The evidence is consistent across many agents and unit types, so this appears to be a real building feature rather than a copy-paste error.
Jogging and walking paths are documented throughout the remarks, including repeated descriptions of walking/jogging paths, strolling paths, and a 1/3-mile jogging path. The feature is consistently supported by many listings and by 19/20 current MLS records.

The listings repeatedly describe shared recreation spaces, including an explicit "recreation area with a full kitchen," "recreation areas," a "large recreation area," and an "amenity deck with swimming pools." These references are consistent with the property's extensive common grounds and appear across multiple agents.
Several listings confirm indoor shared recreation or social spaces, including "recreation areas," "conference and social rooms," "Cards Social Room," and a "recreation area with a full kitchen." Although the feature is mentioned less often than BBQ or walking paths, the references span multiple descriptions and support a building-level amenity.

At least 5 of the current listings mention storage availability or rentable storage, including the phrases "storage availability," "if available, storage units for rent," and "storage lockers available for rent." Additional listings describe unit storage closets and rentable basement storage, so the evidence is repeated across multiple remarks and supports that Queen Emma Gardens offers storage options.
I searched for explicit references to surfboard, board, surf, and bike-and-surfboard storage facilities. No qualifying surfboard-storage facility was identified in the public remarks.
No analysis available
Trash chute access is directly confirmed in multiple remarks, including 'trash chute access' and 'Each tower offers laundry room, trash chute, and two elevators.' Combined with the high historical confidence and 18/20 current MLS listings, this is strong evidence of a building-wide system.
No analysis available
No analysis available
No listing remarks support a whirlpool or hot tub amenity. Across many remarks, the building is described with swimming pools, kiddie pools, wading pools, and tea houses, but never with a spa, jacuzzi, or hot tub. Based on the repeated absence of any such mention, this feature appears not to exist despite the prior MLS checkbox signal.
Pool amenities are confirmed across well over 20 listings from multiple agents, with repeated specific descriptions including "adult swimming pool," "lap pool," "swimming and wading pools," and "two pools including kiddie pool." The consistency of detailed remarks and the historical high-confidence MLS data strongly establishes that Queen Emma Gardens has shared swimming pools.
No analysis available
I searched for salt water pool, saltwater pool, salt pool, and saline pool terminology. The building has swimming and wading pools, but no public-remark evidence indicates that they are salt water.
There is only one current listing indicating in-unit laundry, and none of the remarks explicitly say 'washer/dryer in unit,' 'in-unit laundry,' or similar. Because the evidence is sparse and not reinforced across multiple agents or remarks, confidence is low that this is a building-wide or commonly available feature.
Community laundry is strongly confirmed across the building, with at least 15 current listings explicitly mentioning shared laundry facilities. Key remarks include "community laundry facilities," "there are laundry rooms in each tower," "large community laundry rooms," and "community laundry area in each Tower," supported by the MLS amenity checkbox on 17 of 20 listings.
I searched for references to coin laundry, coin-op machines, laundry fees, quarters, card-operated machines, and similar payment terminology. Community laundry is confirmed, but no evidence indicates that it requires payment.
Multiple listings confirm laundry facilities are available in each tower. Although the remarks do not use the exact phrase "every floor," the building's tower-by-tower laundry descriptions support the feature as defined by the available evidence.
Parking is clearly a building-level feature. Across the remarks, dozens of listings mention parking in some form, including phrases like "1 covered parking," "assigned covered parking stall," "2 covered parking stalls," and "1 indoor garage parking." The evidence is consistent across many agents and towers, so confidence is very high.
Assigned parking is explicitly mentioned across numerous listings from multiple agents and towers, including assigned covered stalls, assigned tandem stalls, and reserved parking. The repeated detailed remarks strongly corroborate the MLS data rather than appearing to be a single copied checkbox.
Covered parking is explicitly mentioned in numerous listings across Queen, King, and Prince Towers, with well over 15 listings citing covered stalls, garages, underground parking, or covered resident parking. The consistency across many agents and repeated tower-wide references strongly confirms that the building offers covered parking.
Many listings confirm that units have assigned or covered parking stalls, including statements that parking is included with the unit. However, no public remark explicitly establishes deeded ownership of the parking, so this feature remains unconfirmed.
No analysis available
The remarks describe resident, guest, assigned, covered, tandem, and garage parking. Searches for parking-cost language found no explicit fee, so the monthly parking fee is unknown.
Guest parking is repeatedly described across listings for all three towers, including explicit references to ample guest parking, visitor parking, and overnight stays. The high frequency and consistency of these remarks from multiple listings strongly confirm that the building provides guest parking.
Secured entry is supported by multiple remarks, though fewer listings explicitly tie the security feature directly to the parking garage. Notable phrases include 'FOB-controlled entry,' 'fob secured elevators,' 'secured building,' and 'multiple security cameras'; this is credible building-level access evidence but less direct than the evidence for other parking features.
Tandem parking is clearly offered for some units and should be retained as a building feature. Several listings independently describe tandem stalls, including assigned covered tandem parking and two covered tandem spaces.
No analysis available
The listings frequently mention ample guest parking and assigned or covered stalls. No remarks describe a parking waitlist system, so there is no public-remarks evidence that one exists.
No analysis available
Multiple listings directly confirm FOB-based access control for building entry and elevators. This is strong, repeated evidence of a card/fob security system.
Security service is strongly supported across many listings, with well over 18 remarks using phrases such as “24/7 security,” “24-hour security patrol,” “24-hour security service,” “security patrol,” and a “security office equipped with closed-circuit cameras” staffed 24/7. Although some descriptions appear copied, the feature is also confirmed through varied wording by multiple agents and specific details about patrols, video surveillance, and on-site security staff.
Several listings directly describe security patrol service, including patrols of the grounds and 24-hour coverage. The repeated explicit mentions strongly support this feature.

Window air conditioning is strongly supported across the building: at least 5 current or historical remarks explicitly mention window AC or individual bedroom/living-area AC, including “two bedrooms with window A/C units” and “newer window AC.” The MLS inclusion is also present in 6/20 listings, and the evidence comes from multiple listing descriptions rather than a single copied amenity statement.
None of the provided remarks explicitly mention “concrete construction,” “concrete building,” or “reinforced concrete.” However, 19 of 20 listings identify CONCRE as the construction material, providing strong, consistent building-level evidence despite the lack of descriptive remark language.
None of the provided remarks explicitly mention double-wall construction or two walls. Nevertheless, 8 of 20 MLS listings contain DOUWAL, matching the prior medium-confidence assessment; the repeated checkbox data provides moderate but not strong confirmation.
Hollow tile construction is not evidenced in the public remarks and is effectively absent from the listing descriptions. The single MLS checkbox does not overcome the broad silence across the remarks.
Zero public remarks mention masonry or stucco construction. Only 2 of 20 current MLS records contain MASSTU, which is weak, non-independent evidence and may reflect limited checkbox usage rather than confirmed building-wide construction.
Steel frame construction is not supported by the public remarks, and only 1 of 20 current listings has the checkbox marked. The evidence looks like a one-off MLS data point or copy/paste error rather than a true building feature.
No provided listing remarks explicitly mention a “concrete slab” or “solid concrete foundation.” Only 3 of 20 listings mark SLAB, so current checkbox support is limited and may reflect inconsistent agent data; however, absent a verified correction or contradictory evidence, the previously established feature is retained.

Above-ground construction/site development is strongly supported by the long-standing building description and the repeated references to extensive landscaped grounds, amenities, and tower structures. While only a small number of MLS listings currently check the box, the remarks consistently reinforce that this is an above-ground multi-building complex rather than a below-grade or subterranean-style building.
Brick construction is not supported by the public remarks and appears only once in the MLS data. The absence of any brick-related language across many listings suggests this is likely a copy/paste or checkbox error rather than a true building characteristic.
No analysis available
The remarks support conventional residential use and explicitly mention that long-term rentals are allowed. Searches for short-term rental approval, STR, vacation rentals, NUC, TVU, or other legal short-term rental authorization found no positive evidence; the explicit long-term-rental language supports that STR is not allowed.
The public remarks present the building as a residential condominium with garden, pool, security, and resident-manager amenities. No hotel rental pool, hotel operation, or managed-hotel program is mentioned, and the STR prerequisite is not satisfied.
The remarks contain no indication that owners must participate in a hotel rental pool. Because hotel-pool participation is not evidenced and the STR prerequisite is not satisfied, mandatory participation is false.
No analysis available
No analysis available
The remarks do not identify a leasehold expiration year or ground-lease end date. The explicit "fee simple" statement indicates lease expiry is not applicable, so no year can be returned.
Multiple public remarks directly state that Queen Emma Gardens or its buildings are VA approved. Repeated explicit mentions provide overwhelming evidence that VA financing is available.
Numerous listings explicitly state that Queen Emma Gardens has 100% hurricane insurance coverage or is 100% hurricane insured. These repeated statements strongly support fully insured status.
No analysis available
The remarks were searched for fire/life safety evaluation, FLSE, fire inspection, fire-safety certification, and life-safety compliance language. No qualifying statement was found, so there is no public-remark evidence that the evaluation passed.
Flood zone determined from official FEMA Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) data using building coordinates, not from agent-reported listing data.

Three of 20 current MLS listings mention ocean views, with phrases such as "partial ocean view," "slight ocean view," "panoramic views of the mountains, ocean," and "ocean as your backdrop." The repeated references across different units and towers strongly confirm that the building offers ocean-view residences.
Mountain views are mentioned in 10 of 20 current listings, including "beautiful mountain, city, and ocean views," "panoramic ocean, mountain, and city views," and views of the mountains from multiple towers and floors. The repeated descriptions across numerous listings and agents strongly support this as a building feature, although it is unit- and orientation-dependent.
Multiple current listing remarks (approximately 15 listings) explicitly mention Diamond Head — phrases include 'breathtaking DH and partial ocean view', 'Views of Diamond Head from living area', and 'facing Diamond Head'. The Diamond Head references appear across different agent remarks and towers (Queen Tower/King Tower/Prince Tower), indicating consistent building-level availability rather than isolated copy-paste errors.
City views are mentioned in 17 of 20 current listings, with phrases including "beautiful city views," "unobstructed views of Honolulu’s cityscape," "open city views," and "city lights at night." This is strong, consistent evidence from many independent listing remarks that the building offers city-view units.
No analysis available
Garden views are mentioned in 9 of 20 current listings, including "quiet garden view," "serene city and garden views," "overlooks the beautifully landscaped gardens," and views of a "garden and koi pond." The descriptions appear across multiple towers and listing agents, confirming that garden-facing units are available.

Sunrise-oriented views/exposure appear in a minority of listings, but they are mentioned consistently enough to support the feature at the building level. The strongest evidence comes from remarks describing units on the "preferred east-facing side" and references to avoiding afternoon heat, which aligns with morning sun and sunrise views. This looks like a real partial-building feature rather than copy-paste noise.
Sunset views are explicitly mentioned in 3 of 20 current listings, including "mountain, sunset, and city views" and "breathtaking panoramic views of the mountains, ocean, sunset, and Aloha Tower." Additional remarks cite western-facing scenery and Hilton Hotel fireworks, providing credible evidence that select high-floor or west-facing units offer sunset views.
No analysis available
Multiple listings directly connect unit views with Hilton Hotel Friday-night fireworks. This satisfies the requirement that fireworks are viewable from units.
No analysis available
No analysis available
At least 16 of 20 current listings identify RESMAN, while many remarks from multiple listings explicitly mention an "on-site resident manager," "resident manager," or "resident manager and staff onsite." The repeated references across different agents, including descriptions of an on-site office, responsive manager, and assistant resident managers, strongly confirm this building-level feature rather than an isolated copy-paste error.
