Kahului, Hawaii
Population: 20,146
Located in Maui County
A planned community constructed in the 1950's as “Dream City,” Kahului is the major population and commercial center of the island and, as such, offers a large concentration of services. With the airport and harbor nearby, Kahului is the major point of embarkation for both goods and people. Certainly the most ambitious residential project undertaken in recent years in Kahului is Maui Lani. A development of approximately 1000 acres, a total of 3500 new homes will grace the hillsides bordering Wailuku when the project is complete. An integral part of the project is the magnificent Maui Lani Dunes golf course already receiving rave reviews from professionals and amateurs alike. The island’s largest shopping center – Kaahumanu Center – is located in Kahului. You’ll find national chains like The Gap, Sharper Image and Sears as well as local stores like Liberty House and Tempo Music. There’s also a food court and a six-plex movie theater. There are other centers in town, too – like Maui Mall with its state-of-the-art, twelve-screen megaplex movie theater and the Kahului Shopping Center – which offer additional shopping and dining choices. The newest center, Maui Marketplace, is home to the big Mainland “box” stores like Sports Authority, Borders Books & Music and Office Max. Nearby you’ll find discount outlet Costco. Since Kahului is the island’s major commercial center, there are, of course, offices, warehouses, and factories, many located in the town’s industrial park. Maui Community College and the recently constructed Maui Arts and Cultural Center are also in Kahului. The Center houses an art gallery and 1,200-seat auditorium as well as classrooms, meeting rooms and a grassy outdoor concert area with an area dedicated specifically to the art of Hula. The community college is constantly expanding its role as Maui’s major center of education and offers a wide variety of continuing education and non-credit courses in addition to degree-track classes. All the major banks are represented with branches. Public and private elementary, intermediate and high schools, churches of every denomination, the island’s main post office and library branch are all within close range in this well-planned community.
