Where Should I Live Near USCG Base Honolulu?

Major Cities Near USCG Base Honolulu
The base is located in Honolulu, the most populated city among all the Hawaiian islands, with just under 350,000 people. That makes up roughly 35% of Oahu’s population and is 300,000 more people than that state’s second largest city, East Honolulu. There’s a good chance that between work, amenities, and recreation, you’ll spend much of your time in Honolulu, even if you live in an adjacent city.Best Places to Live Near USCG Base Honolulu

Pearl City
Honolulu is the most convenient city to call home, as it’s close to base. Another good option, though, is Pearl City. After Honolulu proper and East Honolulu, it’s the third largest Hawaiian city. As you might suspect, it’s adjacent to Pearl Harbor. Pearl City is a good central hub to the southern, more populated part of Hawaii. If you live here, it’s a short drive to Honolulu to the southeast or Wahiawa to the northwest, which is close to Schofield Barracks and the military amenities there. Another Pearl City benefit is it’s a shorter drive if you want to cut through to the other side of the island, such as Haleiwa and the famed North Shore Beach.USCG Base Honolulu Schools
