Kahaluʻu blends shoreline living with easy highway access
Located on the eastern coast of O?ahu, Kahalu?u is a tranquil neighborhood that hugs the coastline of Kane?ohe Bay. Remnants of the once bustling agricultural and fishing community can be found at the Moli?i and Kahalu?u fishponds, which are still intact. Luxury hilltop estates, classic midcentury homes and newly built single-family homes with spacious front and backyards are available. Kamehameha Highway runs along the eastern edge of the neighborhood, allowing quick access to Kane?ohe to the south and other coastline neighborhoods to the north.
Oceanfront parks offer sports, swimming and scenic views
Kahalu?u's parks and public beaches are hard to beat. Stunning views from Kahalu?u Regional Park, Laenani Neighborhood Park and Kahalu?u Beach are just around the corner. Laenani Neighborhood Park, another local green space located near the historic Kahalu?u Fishpond, is great for get-togethers with friends and neighbors. This oceanfront park has basketball and volleyball courts, as well as easy access to take a dip in the water. Plus, located next to Kahalu?u Elementary School is the Kahalu?u Community Park, complete with a football field and playground for children. A drive up Kamehameha Highway will take you to the Kualoa Regional Park, where you can spend the day relaxing in the spacious grassy fields for a picnic or swimming in the Kane?ohe Bay with views of Mokoli?i Island. Another hidden gem of Kahalu?u is the Kahalu?u Gallery and Gardens. Patrons can take a walk along lush greenery and beautiful flowers while viewing oil paintings, clay sculptures, ceramics and other art pieces. You can also take in picturesque mountain views at Kahalu?u Regional Park, featuring spacious fields and a walking path, along with baseball and football fields. If you are looking to get your steps in for the day, walk the park’s Kahalu?u Loop.
Kamehameha Highway is a hub for dining
Along Kamehameha Highway you’ll find several locally owned restaurants. For authentic and flavorful Hawaiian food, head to Nome Ono Food. The Ko?olau Center has several fast, casual joints and barbecue plate lunch options from the Ko?olau Drive Inn. For grocery needs, Times Supermarket, part of a beloved local chain, is also located in the shopping center, offering fresh produce, meat and seafood options.
