Kihei, HI Real Estate — Homes For Sale in Kihei, HI

...If you long to be minutes from the beach, to a broad slice of the local food and entertainment scene, and to have sunshine almost every day, Kihei might be the place on Maui for you. Whether you love walks on the beach, surfing, tennis, skateboarding, snorkeling, or just soaking in the awesome sunset views each day, Kihei is a great place to live and work. One of the youngest and fastest growing communities on Maui, Kihei barely existed a few decades ago-being hot, dry scrubland and downwind from the dusty and sometimes smoky sugarcane field operations. But in recent decades, this long, thin strip of town has grown up on the coast of some of South Maui's nicest beaches. Kihei also features the "tech park" which hosts a number of great employers, and Kihei is a second large hub of employment for local workers. Kihei is one of the few outlying mini-communities on Maui that could largely encompass your weekly life, without needing to travel into Central Maui much for shopping, etc. It is a great community for families, probably outdoing most other cities on Maui for access to numerous public playgrounds, parks, pools, safe walking paths, and all around family activities. It also attracts lots of young singles and couples who find Kihei a little livelier than some of the other bedroom communities of Maui. Kihei's biggest selling point is again, the proximity to great beaches. A pro or con, depending on how you look at it, is that it is a few degrees hotter than other parts of the island, and hardly ever seems to get rain, even when the rest of the island is getting well-watered. The schools are generally well regarded in the community, but there seems to be a never-ending delay in getting a public high school built here. less
