Halawa is a stream, a valley, an ahupua‘a, a neighborhood, and a census-designated place (CDP) located in
the Ewa District, City & County of Honolulu, Hawaii. Halawa Stream branches into two valleys: North and South
Halawa; North Halawa is the larger stream and fluvial feature. Their confluence is within the H-3/H-201 highways
exchange.
"Neighborhoods" of Halawa are very disjointed, in part because of the significant highway exchanges
(see below) that now occupy nearly all of the lower end of Halawa Valley between Red Hill and Aloha
Stadium. Much of the remainder of the valley along both sides of Interstate H-3 is developed into commercial
and light industrial properties. On the east side of H-3 are found the State Animal Quarantine Station and the
Halawa High and Medium Security Facility (main Oahu prison).
Where the valley widens out closer to Pearl Harbor occur residential neighborhoods: Foster Village
adjacent to Aliamanu; and the stadium area between Aloha Stadium and Makalapa. The interfluve
(uplands between valleys) on the west comprises Halawa Heights, extending up to Camp H. M. Smith.
Along the lower, western edge, Halawa Heights merges with the neighhborhoods of Aiea. As of the
2000 Census, the CDP had a total population of 13,891.
The U.S. Postal Code for Halawa Heights is 96701 (the same as for Aiea). The postal code for Foster
Village, the stadium area, and Makalapa is 96818 (the same as Aliamanu).
Geography
Halawa is located at 21°22'39" North, 157°55'22" West (21.377633, -157.922759)GR1. According to the United
States Census Bureau, the neighborhood has a total area of 6.0 km sq. (2.3 mi sq.). 6.0 km sq. (2.3 mi sq.) of it
is land and none of it is covered by water.
North Halawa Valley is the route of Interstate H-3 from its western terminus with east-west Moanalua Freeway
(H-201; connecting eastward to Honolulu or westward to H-1 and Aiea) to the 1100-foot (335-m) elevation
entrance into the Tetsuo Harano Tunnels penetrating the Koolau crest. The freeway continues beyond to
Kaneohe on windward Oahu.
Most of Halawa Valley is undeveloped, and there are numerous archaeological sites in this valley.
These sites are one reason that a significant proportion of Interstate H-3 within the valley is carried on a
viaduct. Although very expensive to construct, the viaduct offers significant returns in
terms of preservation of both archeological sites and stream ecology.
