PACIFIC PALISADES is a residential community nestled in the mountains above Pearl City, centrally located between Downtown Honolulu and the City of Kapolei, on the Hawaiian Island of Oahu.

The early 1960s marked the beginning of residential development by developers Lewers & Cooke. What was formerly sugarcane land transformed into single-family 3 bedroom, 1.5 bath homes selling for less than $15,000.

Today, with a population of more than 5,000 and a little over 2,000 homes, many homes have been razed or replaced from the original 900 square feet homes to larger 2,000 square feet homes. The median sales price for a single family home is about $500,000.

Our neighborhood is made up of individuals and families with a diversity of ethnic, racial and religious backgrounds representing a variety of income levels and occupations.

This is a great neighborhood for those who appreciate being away from the city and secluded. There's only "One Way In, One Way Out" of this subdivision by a two lane roadway that cuts through the valley and along the hillside with curves and swerves. Heading up the hill is the entrance to Pacific Palisades with an elevation starting at 213 feet above sea level. Continue another two miles uphill on Komo Mai Drive, ending in a cul-de-sac at an elevation of over 700 feet above sea level. Relax and enjoy the spectacular panoramic views of the Ko'olau Mountains and the Pacific Ocean.

Nestled in a quiet neighborhood and bordered by Rainbow Eucalyptus trees is the Pacific Palisades Community Park. This 12.5 acre community park has a little league baseball field overlooking a volley court, two basketball courts, and an adjoining children's playground. Benches are located in the shelter to enjoy a quiet moment. Across the street are two tennis courts.


PACIFIC PALISADES COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION is a non-profit organization owed by Pacific Palisades' Homeowners. Residents have volunteered their time and efforts for the betterment of the community for over 50 years to make their community the best possible place to live.

Since the mid-1960s, PPCA has coordinated efforts to carry out projects to improve the community.


PACIFIC PALISADES COMMUNITY CENTER offers a variety of free special events, recreation programs, self defense classes, senior exercise and tai chi classes, rental opportunities, seminars, workshops, teen dances, social gatherings, craft fairs, swap meets, car shows, holiday activities, egg hunts and many more.

It has a total of 45,407 square feet of space an is conveniently located, allows facility rentals, has a kitchen, swimming pool and a playground, views overlooking Pearl Harbor to Makakilo, a swing set, a pavilion and free on street parking.
