Looking for a condo that gives you the space you need, gorgeous views, and that’s centrally located in the mid-price range? Welcome to 1717 Ala Wai Blvd, the building that ticks all those boxes. Built in 1970, it is a 31-story condo building on the Ala Wai Canal. The 283 units are configured as two and three bedrooms.
My Favorite 1717 Ala Wai Unit
Of the 10 active units for sale as of this writing, I like unit #2901 (MLS# 1204580) best – a 1,084 sq.ft. three bedroom, two bath unit. It also has 150 sq.ft. of lanai space with stunning city, canal, marina and ocean views, and is offered at $579,000. Gorgeous, sweeping views from Downtown Honolulu to the marina and ocean are a hallmark of this unit.
Beautifully Remodeled 1717 Ala Wai Condo
The one other to consider is unit #1806 (MLS# 1204090). At $738,800, it tops #2901 by almost $160,000. However, it has been thoroughly and beautifully remodeled, so if you desire high end finishes, this may be the unit for you.
Living at 1717 Ala Wai gets you a condo of spacious proportions right in the heart of Waikiki. If you’re an Urbanite like me, this may well be the perfect fit for you.

Just after this blog was published my “best buy” mls 1204580 priced at $579K has an accepted offer. My prediction for next to go is 2 bed 2 bath unit #1309 mls 1208629 priced at $468K. It has a newly remodeled kitchen and is on the 13th floor with views of downtown Honolulu and the Ala Wai canal and a peak of ocean. Good deals are going fast.
