Manoa

Editors’ Pick

With elementary schools that consistently rank near the top in Hawaii, crime rates well below the national average and miles of well-maintained sidewalks that make it the 10th most walkable neighborhood in Honolulu, Manoa has been one of Hawaii’s top residential areas for decades. Now the neighborhood has even more to offer families with the addition of hip new restaurants such as Morning Glass and Grylt, unique shops such as Baby Awearness and LMS Boutique, and a brand-new, larger library featuring laptops, outlets, solar-panel power and covered parking to protect you from Manoa showers.
