Diamond Head Homes & Condos for Sale - MLS Search

Diamond Head is more than just an ancient volcano or a world-class surfing destination. It is also home to the neighborhood that sits just at the base of this renowned landmark. The Diamond Head community is part of the larger Honolulu area. Set between Waikiki Beach on one side and Kahala on the other, it is bordered by both mountain and ocean, giving it the best of both worlds. Diamond Head was first settled during the first half of the last century. Doris Duke built her fabled home, Shangri-La, here, and it soon became a fashionable location for a vacation home.

For a small community, Diamond Head packs a lot of punch. Downtown Honolulu is minutes away, and is within walking distance for the western edge of the neighborhood. Waikiki beach gives residents easy access to sand and surf, while the proximity to the mountain make for some of the most unique views on Oahu. Kapi’olani Community College is toward the eastern end, next to Diamond Head Memorial Park. Most Diamond Head homes are individually owned, although there are a few private neighborhoods. The exclusive Black Rock gated community is located here. Outside of the gates, homes are usually upwards of 1 million and price is heavily dependent on the view.

Unlike other areas, home prices do not tend to vary with beach proximity, as the mountain view is the draw. There are Diamond Head condos for sale as well. Prices vary according to unit size and view, as well as building amenities. Most units average around 400K, although there are exclusive units that can go into six figures, and studios to be had for 300K. Many condo complexes were originally built in the 1960s, but the majorities have had major updates and renovations, and are as modern as newly constructed buildings.
