Kihei Condos (for sale, rentals, hotel)

[Anton2606]

i was wondering why the condos for sale that are in north kihei are quite a bit less expensive than the ones in middle and lower kihei? Like Kihei Villages, and southpointe. Does it have to do with the beaches or location or are those buildings just not as good?

Not sure about the condos you asked about, but Northern Kihei beaches are pretty windy compared to Southern Kihei. Afternoon winds, and some of the shorefront doesn't have sandy beaches, more like rocky shore.

Kihei development has moved from North to South over the years, so some of the older areas are in the North, while many of the newer are in the South. They did just build a new development in Northern Kihei - not remembering the name of it right now.

There are some rougher neighborhoods in Northern Kihei.

Many of them are zoned apt rather than hotel which means they can only be rented for six months or more. Since owners can't rent them out as vacation rentals, income potential from them is much more limited. Also, many were built to be working class residences while most of the places in the south were designed as vacation rentals and have beautiful landscaping, nice pools, spas, etc. For example, Kihei Shores is in the south yet it was built as apts, can't be short term rented and has an "eh" pool and strictly utilitarian grounds. Units there go for significantly less than the complexes around it, less in fact than at many complexes in the north, especially those with amenities.
