It’s. I don’t own the rights to these fotos but they are very accurate. The grounds are very well kept. All The staff members from Security Maintenance HOA and All others are very professional polite curtious and they respond quickly to any concerns. I’m upgrading my unit and they work extremely easily and happily with me. It’s kept clean and neat smelling fresh and clean daily. They’re upgrading things in the building and making efforts to bring pride to us homeowners and tenants. I’m just waiting on the day they can start the upgrading on the much needed plumbing situation. Other than that I’m grateful to be living here.
UPDATE: 10-15-2024
As of this date I’m happy to report that the plumbing in my unit and adjacent units have been updated and other units plumbing are being updated with brand new pipes as well. Also the elevators have been worked on. The grounds are still kept up nicely (trees trimmed, walkways cleaned, bridge painted, grass freshly cut, pool sparkling, chairs are cleaned, gazebo area nice and clean as always. Oh and there is a beautiful Hawaiian mural painted in the lobby. I found a wonderful pest control company that I have been using for the past year and Thank You Jesus no more ROACHES in my unit. I haven’t seen any in our trash shut area so I’m guessing the information I past onto maintenance they’ve followed through on using them. The neighborhood has changed for the better as well. 5 Star restaurant and pubs. New exciting businesses are here. New apartment building here as well. Lots of renovations going on in the neighborhood making this a jewel ? of a place that I have been blessed to purchase 2 years ago.

It is a place where multiple friends live. I would love to live there...not sure if I could afford to though.

I lived in Kukui Plaza for a few years. Great location near shopping and public transportation. Good security with security guard station when you enter the building. Beautiful garden and swimming pool. Downside is units get very, very hot during the summer and the plumbing is a tangled mess. Plumbing is tangled up with the unit next door so id you need a plumber, the plumber also has to go into your neighbor"s unit either on the bathroom side or kitchen side (depending on qhere the problem is). That means your neighbor has to be home to let the plumber in or has to leave his or her key with the security guard desk in the lobby so the guard can let the plumber in. Really a pain in the neck.

Delivered an Uber Eats order to your resident and had to pay to do so. In at 4:20 and out at 4:41. That’s the last time I wait for one of your residents to pick up an order. :)

Lived here and rented multiple units over time in both the Ewa and Diamond Head towers. While some units I have rented at a reasonable price for years, there are some newer property managers trying to jack up the price on this roach paradise. I couldn’t justify the increase in rent, even with a nicely renovated unit for $1,600. My newer building is much newer, cleaner and about the same price to rent a one bedroom, one bath, and one parking. Also, I’m so glad to be further away from Chinatown.

Convenient location to downtown, Safeway, CVS, and many eateries. Feels secured in the building because of 24/7 security guard and keyed lobby entry & elevator. Management team does good job maintaining building clean and neat. Love the large park like setting on the recreation deck to take a walk even at night because its secured and for residents only.

I've lived in this building as a tenant for the last five years, and love the location and the security of the building. It has a beautiful garden deck, with pool, my rent is affordable, I'm walking distance to groceries and restaurants in Chinatown, there is easy access to the freeway, and it's close to the airport and my place of work (when I commuted). I also have met some wonderful neighbors here and some of the staff are super nice and hard working and I count them as friends. So why three stars? Several reasons: old AF piping, poor management, and an unresponsive and ineffective board. For the first, the pipes are connected to your neighbor, which means that any clogs or backups from your neighbors to the side or above or below you will affect you. I've had water pour into my kitchen from a broken pipe above and last year reported water leaking into the hallway from a common pipe. As it's nearly impossible to locate the true source of a problem, you end up duking it out with your neighbor when it's possible NEITHER of you are the actual problem (maybe it's from above, maybe it's just time!). Without a communal approach to clogs, you're in disputes with people who live right next to you. As far as management goes - the security here, except for the lead guy (HMM), turns over like sets at the beach and people get fired for minor infractions. Most of the guards are friendly, but rules and application are inconsistent - sometimes I need to call security to let my guests up; other times they just let them in and hardly anyone signs in. I even heard there was a case of suicide where a non-resident jumped off a top floor because security let them up. I don't think they offer holiday or weekend pay for housekeeping or landscaping staff, who are mostly immigrant workers. Sounds like they need a union!! Additionally, the elevators BLOW. They are often out for repair, or blocked off for someone moving. It would be nice if residents could use the elevator unless someone was ACTIVELY transporting items, but it will sit open and unutilized to the annoyance of many. Tonight I had the distinct pleasure of meeting Kevin Lye, VP of the board here, who appeared to have stalked me at this hour, who asked me if I resided in the building and if I was an owner. I probably shouldn't have answered such specific questions at 11 PM in Chinatown no less, but didn't want to be rude. Kevin then informed me that under House Rules, animals should not defecate on property, in the courtyard or on the perimeter, and that security reviews footage to match animals and residents for infractions. This is just hours after I was informed by the head security guard that there have been "complaints" about my dog laying on the bench next to me. "Was it a white lady," I asked? The sheepish look told me everything I needed to know. A few weeks ago, a Karen, nearly shaking with fury, berated me for the fact that my dog was sitting politely on the bench. Mind you - my dog is calm, well-behaved, and HIGHLY beloved by residents of many ages and the staff. Turns out Karen is actually named Joyce Allen, who is the president of the board. If I can't walk my dog in the secure green area, nor around my building which provides lighting and security cameras (ironically used to police my behavior...), where in Chinatown should I walk? If I am assaulted, I can say that my apartment board strictly prohibits me from walking my ESA around my residence, so I have to go to more dangerous streets. So my dog doing her business on grass is a problem, but racist behavior and security guards wearing MAGA hats is cool? TBH, I think I'm being targeted for some pretty benign behavior. Back in August, I sent a message to the board regarding some racist neighbors' behavior - my Korean neighbor shared that she was shaken by a neighbor down the hall yelling "F*ck you, go back to your country!" when she informed him that the elevator was at the 5 person limit per COVID/Kukui Plaza guidel

30 dollars to be let in your apartment if you forget your keys! 100 dollars if you lose the key fob! 60 dollars to check the trash if you lost something in it! (Yes 60 dollars for YOU to go dig in the trash). 100 dollars if you lose your access card. On top of the 1700 dollars we pay in rent every month. They are money gouging do not move here!

I own a one bedroom unit in the Ewa Tower and lived here for about 10-13 years. The condo is very, very convenient in regards to location. Close to downtown, hospital, chinatown, and freeway. Since this is an older building, the one bedrooms do not have washer/dryers in the unit only the 2 and 3 bedroom end units have a full size washer and dryer in their unit. Again, the building is old but well kept. Some of the employees have been there since it opened in 1976. This was Mayor Frank F. Fasi's project.
