Kapahulu, HI Overview
Where Urban Meets Old World
While the Ala Wai Golf Course takes up nearly a quarter of this neighborhood the vast majority of properties you’ll find here are single-family and multi-family homes. The areas west of Kapahulu Ave. have an urban vibe and are where most of the condominiums and grocery stores are found. The areas east of Kapahulu Ave. is a larger residential area full of single and multi-family homes.
Along Kapahulu Avenue you’ll find grocery stores, retail shops, and restaurants, some of which include the famous Rainbow Drive-In and Leonard’s Malasadas. You’ll want to note, that as one of the main access routes to Waikiki Beach, Kapahulu avenue itself can, at times, get quite congested.
A little further inland from both the Waikiki and Diamond Head neighborhoods, those looking for properties located a short distance from Waikiki Beach and the University of Hawaii at Manoa, investors will find the prices in the Kapahulu neighborhood more affordable than their ocean side locations.
