We haven't yet decided where we'll try to settle, but we'll definitely be renting for a couple of years. We are pretty wide open since I work from home. Our primary purpose for moving back is so that my wife can be closer to her mom, so anywhere on the island is going to beat Houston, TX for that.
At first, I was looking at a couple of hi-rises over by Ala Moana and some downtown, but I'm thinking that my wife's two little dogs would make that pretty inconvenient for us. I'm not thrilled with the idea of dogs on elevators 3 times per day. I like the idea of Kaneohe since it is quiet, pretty and just a short over the mountains from family and has multiple alternate routes in and out. I have not forgotten about the traffic. If I could find a comfortable place far enough up in the Valley then Kalihi would be ok. But I'm thinking about Mililani too. Much cooler up there as I recall. I haven't entirely ruled out Kapolei or Makakilo, but that just seems so far away. I'd like to be able to go down and work at The Box Jelly a couple of days per week if possible, but I doubt that I would if I had to spend 2 hours of it sitting in traffic.
I'm planning to try and find an agent or service that can help me locate a comfortable place that is pet friendly that I can probably move into around Sept. 1. If you have recommendations for who I might contact for rental property hunting then please let know.
