My Favorite Honolulu Neighborhoods: Kamehame Ridge, in the Hawaii Kai Region Located toward the mountains from Koko Villas is the hillside community of Kamehame Ridge, where you find excellent views, cooler temperatures and lovely homes. The ridgeline area of development consist of less than 200 homes that were built between 1982 and 1988, most on large lots and a mix of styles. At the bottom oif the ridge is a newer complex called Bali Lofts. These are larger homes, 4,000 square feet or larger, of contemporary design, a kind of Bali island style, most with central air conditioning, high quality materials and other luxury amenities, but with no views. It is said that the name Kamehame comes from the Hawaiian word Hame for tree. View Current Homes for Sale in the Kamehame Ridge Neighborh... 01/30/2012
