Our Take
Kaneohe offers good schools and is close to the Marine Corps Base, but its high flood risk, high cost of living, and almost zero walkability make it a tough spot if you value safety or convenience. If you’re staying for the base and can afford the premiums, it’s workable; otherwise, look elsewhere.
