1. I'm not trying to sound rude but all places have areas you need to be more cautious or are less desirable.
2. kalihi, hotel street in honolulu, and the west side of oahu but a lot of the west side is fine.
   and it can all be unsafe too –still a city even if it doesn't look like it.

   but have fun!

3. Those huge Samoans are dangerous and live like animals. Watch out for them
4. wainae, some parts of waipahu, wahiawa, small area south south of ewa beach (rough looking), I live in central oahu… I moved like 3-4 times since ive been here (6 yrs) I stay in mililani now. nice places to live kapolei, ewa beach (if you can stand some traffic), mililani, waipio, waikele, makakilo OH KUNIA too.
5. If you stick with tourist areas, you should be okay, although I really can't think of actual unsafe areas on Oahu. Locals would know better than I would. Waikiki, North Shore, and the windward coast are all nice. I've never been to the leeward coast. You can ask a travel agent who specializes in Hawaii packages as well. If you have kids in your family, Honolulu/Waikiki would probably be a good choice because there is so much to do there. Problem is, it's also really crowded. Below is a website for looking up condo/house rentals. Hope that helps.
