BEST TOWN TO LIVE IN ON MAUI
Kihei
If you like sweltering sprawl with a side of cane dust, then Kihei’s the place for you. But can you even call Kihei an actual town? (There’s an actual current development project called “Downtown Kihei” to give the place a town center.) Advantages to living in Kihei: it’s relatively close to other parts of the island; has miles of good beaches; and (if you live in North Kihei) Target is just a 10-minute drive away. Disadvantages to living in Kihei: It takes just as long to drive the length of Pi‘ilani Highway as it does to get to Kahului; cane-burning can shower the whole place with smoke and ash; and South Kihei Road’s endless strip malls and timeshares largely hide those miles of beaches from view. @Apignataro
