Walkable neighborhoods with mountain views and modern homes
At the foot of the lush West Maui Mountains, Wailuku offers cooler temperatures and a lifestyle of modern conveniences. It’s home to one of Maui’s largest master planned communities, enhancing its pleasant, upbeat vibe. Realtor Adam Miller with Real Broker says, “Wailuku is more of a commercial area than nearby Waikapu. You have government buildings in Wailuku, as well as Main Street through the center. Wailuku also has Kehalani, one of only two planned communities on Maui. And across Kehalani’s more than a dozen neighborhoods, you can find everything from condos in the $500,000 range to $2 million-plus properties to new construction. It’s walkable, bikable, close to major retailers and services, and the views are epic. From some homes, you can see the sunrise and sunset on both coasts.”
Homes in Wailuku sit beneath rolling mountains in an idyllic Hawaiian landscape.
Wailuku is nestled at the base of the lush West Maui Mountains.

Kehalani offers condos, townhomes and luxury hillside estates
A key gem in Wailuku, the master-planned Kehalani community spreads across 550 acres of green landscape. Once complete, it will be the largest planned community on the island of Maui. Along Kehalani’s sidewalks are quiet, luxury duplex homes for around $800,000 with eco-friendly solar panels. In Ho’olea Terrace, homeowners can view ships in the harbor from two-story condos averaging around $600,000. Condos with Spanish-style roof tiles and earthtone stucco exteriors are found in the gated Villas in Kehalani for around $900,000. Two-story townhouses for around $700,000 comprise Iliahi. The gated Koa subdivision has mansions built on terraced slopes to maximize the sweeping vista for around $2 million.

Kepaniwai Park offers a beautiful escape with a Japanese temple where visitors can stroll along the Iao stream through themed gardens. The War Memorial Stadium Complex in Wailuku is home to the Maui Interscholastic Baseball and American Legion games and the site of the annual Maui County Fair. This pivotal event delights more than 100,000 visitors with rides, comedy acts, live music and livestock exhibits. Complete with pie contests, the fair’s food court is a hands-down highlight. Visitors also find the public eight-lane Coach Sakamoto Pool at the War Memorial Stadium Complex, named in honor of legendary Swim Coach Soichi Sakamoto, who developed Olympic champions in the ‘30s and ‘40s.

Local cafés and bakeries serve soups, pastries and espresso
Wailuku offers an assortment of eateries, including A Saigon Café, which is famous for Vietnamese soups crafted with only fresh ingredients. Locals line up at the quaint Japanese-Hawaiian Ichiban Okazuya for customized meals incorporating tempura, steamed veggies, fish cakes and other scrumptious ingredients. Maui Coffee Attic draws a following for its house pastries and live music on the patio, and the hip, family-owned Wailuku Coffee Company in a converted gas station is popular for its full espresso bar and build-your-own sandwiches and salads. Since 1994, Stillwell’s Bakery and Café has also been well worth visiting; their signature homemade Chinese chicken salad, elegant cakes and decadent cream horns are crowd-pleasers. Grocery store options include Target, Safeway, Walmart and Costco.
Wailuku is Maui's county seat, filled with historical downtown charm.
