Facility Overview

The parking area at 99701-99721 Apela Street offers convenient open-air surface parking nestled in the historic hillside community of Aiea, Hawaii. Situated just off the main thoroughfare of Moanalua Road, this facility provides direct access to local retail shops, medical practices, neighborhood eateries, and community services. Designed as a paved ground-level lot, it features straightforward layout bays that allow easy vehicle maneuvering without the spatial limitations or tight turning radiuses of multi-story garages.
