This Kailua Home Includes Every Buyer's 2026 Wish List

The Coconut Grove neighborhood in Kailua is where many first-time
Kailua buyers land — smaller lots, R5 zoning, plantation-era
homes from the 1950s and 60s, and prices that (relatively
speaking) still work. But this listing at 426 Kani Street does
something most Coconut Grove homes don't: it has a legal,
permitted Ohana dwelling upstairs.

In this video, Maila tours a 3-bedroom, 2-bath Coconut Grove home
listed at $1.769M (also VA-assumable) with a 526 sqft permitted
Ohana unit that can be rented for approximately $2,400/month —
and explains how that rental income translates into roughly
$200,000 more in buyer borrowing power through American Savings
Bank and other Hawaii lenders. She also breaks down the Coconut
Grove neighborhood specifically, the flood zone considerations
above Oneawa Street, and the Q3 2026 market data for Oahu,
Kailua, and Ewa Beach.
