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.
