Aloha O'ahu.

[vfosson]

Aloha! I am planning to move to O'ahu from California in a few months. I have been looking to rent in a nice neighnorhood - especially one in a great public school district. I was wondering, does anyone know where the best public schools are for an elementary school education?

I also need to find job. I'm a recent college graduate who is attracted to the diverse employment possibilities in O'ahu. Is anyone familiar with any of the law firms on O'ahu? Mahalos!

Re: Aloha O'ahu.

What kind of info do you need about law firms here? are you an attorney or paralegal? just curious - there are quite a few law firms here so you need to be a little more specific. I've worked for a couple so I do have a little knowledge.

Re: Aloha O'ahu.

A friend of mine moved to Manoa for the sole purpose of putting his daughter in Noelani Elementary, a public school. Manoa is a great neighborhood and like the rest of Oahu...very pricey.

Maybe Lavagal will chime in about Koko Head Elementary, another public school, in Hawaii Kai.

Re: Aloha O'ahu.

I myself would say it's an excellent school and excellent neighborhood....

I myself like to recommend Nuuanu Elementary School if you can get a Geographic Exemption.

However, if you can find a 2 brm for under $2000 per month in the Geographic area of Noelani I would be impressed.

Indeed! Of course, that will hold true for renting in any 'nice neighborhood'.

Re: Aloha O'ahu.

I know of a family in manoa that rents their yard out for parking! $60.00 per month times 4 cars = $240 per month .... X 9 months = a nice little piece of side change for them....

Re: Aloha O'ahu.

Hi there, I am not an attorney OR paralegal. I'm a recent grad - BA in English and Pre-Law from Santa Clara University. I begin working for Heller Ehrman tommorrow as a temp doing HR. I plan on going to law school in a few years. Right now I'd like to exloplore career opportunities in a law firm for experience and information. I'm aiming to move to O'ahu before Christmas, but there don's seem to be many career opportunities on Monster.

PS I'm so glad I found Hawai'i Threads, thank you very much for sharing your knowledge with me.
