Should you call 911 from a mobile phone?  Read my blog post to see what happens when you do, if you are in an emergency in a condo building.

Hale Ka Lae is moving forward and taking reservations.  Read more on my Condo Page and contact me before you visit the sales center, if you want to use your own Realtor.

15 Craigside is a Senior Living Community now selling in Honolulu.  The studios have already sold out, but 30 larger units are available, under the "lease for life" arrangement. 

The "entrance" fee is around $329,000, and monthly service fee about $3,500 for singles.  For couples, entrance fee will be $400,000, with a monthly service fee of $4,900  for couples.  It is a pet-friendly building, has maid and linen service, and 24/7 medical care with a clinic on site.  Nurses will come to one's room ($23/hour or $270/day in semi-private room). 

Located in Nuuanu, the residence offers homes to those 62 years or older, and is close to shopping, restaurants, and on The Bus line.

If you have a home to sell, I can give you a free market analysis so you'll know what price you can expect to realize on a sale.

If you want to visit the sales center for 15 Craigside, call (808-226-2537) or email me first so you will have your own professional Realtor help you with the relocation.  There are fewer than 30 units left, as of March 2011, so let me know if you have an interest.

Hawaii offers

• Longer life expectancy
• Healthier lifestyle
• Lower utility costs
• State-of-the-art medical facilities
• Many choices in assisted living and retirement communities
• An historical tradition of respect for and reverence of its Elders
• A higher cost of living than most states
• An isolation which can cause "island fever"

What price Paradise?  Those of us who live and age here wouldn't be anywhere else.  But if you are considering relocation and retirement to Hawaii, request the free reports shown below (which are just a beginning to your research), and then let me know your questions.

I've been on Oahu for more than 20 years and can help with your decision.  The Aloha Spirit is alive and well, and welcomes you.
