About Wahiawā
Wahiawā is a central-plateau town — a census-designated place (2020 population 18,658) between the Waiʻanae and Koʻolau ranges, surrounded by former pineapple country. It has a classic small-town feel: modest plantation-era and ranch homes, the Dole Plantation visitor attraction just north of town, and nearby military communities (Schofield Barracks, Wheeler Army Airfield). Housing is among the island's most affordable for single-family homes, with Lake Wilson and the surrounding farmland giving it a rural edge.
