Hikapoloa Neighborhood Overview
Overview
Hikapoloa is a residential neighborhood in North Kihei, Maui, situated between the Piilani Highway and the slopes of Haleakalā. It is a primarily local, family-oriented community known for its quiet streets and panoramic mountain views. The area offers a more residential feel compared to Kihei's bustling tourist-centric coastal strip.
Character & Lifestyle
The neighborhood exudes a strong sense of local Hawaiian community, with well-kept single-family homes and a relaxed, suburban pace. Residents enjoy a friendly atmosphere where neighbors know each other, and the soundscape is more of birds and trade winds than resort activity. It's a place that provides a genuine feel for everyday island living.
Housing
Hikapoloa features a mix of older Hawaiian-style homes and newer construction, largely consisting of modest single-family residences on larger lots. Housing styles often include open-floor plans designed for indoor-outdoor living, taking advantage of the mild climate. The neighborhood is distinct from the condominium-heavy areas closer to Kihei's beaches.
Getting Around
Access is primarily via Hikapoloa Road, which connects to the Piilani Highway (State Highway 31), providing quick routes to Central and South Kihei, Upcountry Maui, and the airport. The neighborhood itself is not particularly walkable for errands, making a car essential. Bicycling is feasible for recreation on quieter internal streets.
Dining & Shopping
Residents typically drive a short distance to nearby shopping centers like the Piilani Village Shopping Center or Kukui Mall for groceries, dining, and services. Local favorites include restaurants like Three's Bar & Grill and Fork & Salad. For more options, the full array of Kihei's restaurants and shops is just a few minutes south.
Parks & Recreation
The neighborhood is close to the Maui Nui Botanical Gardens, which showcases native Hawaiian and Polynesian plants. For beaches, popular spots like Kamaole Beach Parks are a short drive away. The proximity to the highway also allows for easy trips to Upcountry hiking trails or the Wailea golf courses.
