Neighborhoods Near Schofield BarracksInformation for Army home buyers in Central Oahu
These nearby neighborhoods are all located to the south of Schofield. It’s not only where you’ll find more available homes to buy, it’s also where you’ll find many neighbors who are stationed on the base themselves. Let’s start with the closest town, located right outside the gates. Wahiawa - Life In Schofield's Rural NeighborWahiawa was historically a center for sugar cane fields and pineapple plantations, most of which have closed in the last 20 years. Agriculture remains, though, as does some of the plantations heritage, including the Dole Plantation, which is now as much of a tourist attraction as an active farm. Fields and farmland still surround Wahiawa today so it remains a very rural area of Oahu. Much of the area’s shops and stores cater to military residents. That should be no suprise since Schofield Barracks is geographically larger than Wahiawa and its population is a prime generator for the local economy. The rural environment doesn’t include as many condo communities as some parts of Oahu, but you'll always find some condos available in Wahiawa. With its easy access to both Schofield & Wheeler Field, and its military-friendly environment, Wahiawa could be the right town for you and your family.

You’ll find Wal Mart here along with other, larger shopping options than you would closer to the base. This is also where your real estate choices will include many newer homes due to the fact that Mililani is a planned community that sold its first houses in the late 1960’s. Mililani is actually made up of 2 districts. The original, Mililani Town, is closest to Schofield. Mililani Mauka, across the highway to the east, was first built up in the early 1990’s and continues to this day. Home prices are higher in Mililani than Wahiawa so your budget will need to be raised when shopping here. The growth of this area is illustrated by the fact that 5 elementary schools serve its younger students - Kipapa, Mililani Uka, Mililani Waena, Mililani Ike and Mililani Mauka. There's also Mililani Middle School & Mililani High School for the older kids.

Right next door, but under the umbrella of Waipahu, is the community of Waikele, known for a very popular outlet mall of high-end stores as well as higher priced homes to match. As you can see, this part of Oahu has a range of houses, all within a small area. No matter your budget, chances are you'll be able to find a home that meets it here. Younger children attend one of 3 elementary schools - August Ahrens, Honowai, and Waipahu. Upon graduating from them, most will go to Waipahu Intermediate School.
