Tranquil Kaneohe Bay and the Koolau Mountain Range border the community of Kaneohe. Townhomes, homes and the Kaneohe Marine Corps Base surround the shoreline of Kaneohe Bay. Away from the bay residents focus their views on the Koolau Mountains and lush foliage that grow well in this area. The gated community of Haiku Plantations offers residents large acre plots nestled against the majestic mountain range. Kaneohe is home to regional shopping center Windward Mall and several other neighborhood and strip malls as well as eateries, a medical plaza, public and private schools, churches and two megaplexes. Hawaii Pacific University has an extension college in Kaneohe that is particularly focused on courses for the business professional. Residents have access to three highways leading to central and leeward Oahu and the Pearl Harbor Naval Base.
