Kalaheo is the oldest town in Kauai and is located in the southern region between Lihue and Kauai. The population here is just over 4,000 people, and some of the most undisturbed beaches can be found in this area. Also the largest producer of coffee beans in Hawaii, Kalaheo Café and Coffee Company, is located here.
Kalaheo is a great destination point for people on vacation; however, the accommodations are limited because of the size of the area and the amount of local residents who live here. This makes this an ideal location for residents. Several restaurants and cafes are located here besides the local favorite Kalaheo Café and Coffee Company. There is a multitude of cuisines to choose from.
There are many activities that residents and tourists enjoy participating in. Some of these are fishing, swimming, snorkeling, biking, and laying out in the sun. There are also favorite attractions such as the Olu Pua Gardens and Plantaions, Inuoloue Reservoir and Alexander’s Lake, and Kaukiuki Falls.
The real estate in Kalaheo has several things to contribute to its good standing including the scenery, views, and the serene environment. Many of the homes here either have ocean or mountain views. The average sales price for a home here is $350K. Condos in resorts such as Kalaheo Pali Kai have a starting price around $200K. It is also possible to find homes that are in foreclosure, short sales, or REOs for a low price in Kalaheo. This area is also a great place to buy investment property. The great price ranges here make it so that practically everyone is able to purchase property.
Kalaheo is a very laid back town set off the beaten track, and that is what makes it so great for residents and tourists. Residents want to relocate here, and tourists visit to achieve a peaceful vacation but never want to leave. It is actually common for visitors to come here on vacation only to end up calling it home. This is a tight-knit community that has ties to the same culture. People are so attracted to Kalaheo because it has a natural beauty that cannot be found in the overly tourist areas across Hawaii.
