Getting to base

JBPHH sits along the H-1 corridor, which carries heavy traffic at rush hour in both directions. Check which gate serves your unit and test the drive at the hours you'll actually commute.

Typical drive times (approximate): Aiea to JBPHH usually takes 10 to 15 minutes. From Ewa Beach or Kapolei, plan on about 20 to 35 minutes off-peak, and 45 minutes to over an hour at morning rush hour.

What to check on any home near JBPHH

  • Fee simple or leasehold. Know whether you own the land, and how that affects VA financing and resale.
  • Association fees. Many homes and condos have HOA or AOAO fees that affect your monthly payment and loan approval.
  • VA requirements. Condos need VA approval, and every home must meet VA Minimum Property Requirements.
  • Flood zones. Some areas near the water may require flood insurance. Check the flood zone early so it's in your budget.
  • Your exit plan. Think about keeping, renting, or selling when you PCS again. We cover this in your strategy consultation.

Do your own research on schools and neighborhoods

I don't rate neighborhoods or schools. Use official sources and visit in person:

  • Hawaii State Department of Education for school information and boundaries.
  • Your installation's School Liaison Officer.
  • Honolulu Police Department for public crime data.
  • Military OneSource MilitaryINSTALLATIONS for base and relocation resources.
