We just moved here in October. We sold our house and are in the process of building a home, so we needed temporary housing for 7-8 months. We liked the fact that we could do a 7 month lease with the option to go month to month after that, that we felt safe, and that we could have our large dog and cat with us. We are renting a 3 BR 2 BA remodeled duplex at approx 1200 sq feet and were able to take everything with us. We are paying extra $100/month for the pets and for $25 extra per month for each wall A/C unit. Definitely needed the A/C as Ewa Beach gets pretty hot. The remodeled units have upgraded light fixtures, flooring, and cabinets. Price for rent was good considering we were thinking about renting a smaller place and renting storage. Pros: gated community, security, gym, maintenance, free lawn service, dog park, close proximity to the beach, NEX Mini-mart and gas station if you're elligible, Elementary school, and child care. Cons: not all units have fenced yard, close to the airport, so there is a lot of plane noise from 7AM-7PM, and time to H-1 is about 15-20 minutes depending on how many traffic lights you hit on Fort Weaver Road. Overall we are happy with our temporary living arrangements at the Waterfront at Puuloa. Kathy in the leasing office was very accomodating...stop by and see her if you are looking for a place to live.
