Kailua Neighborhood Series: Lanikai

Data Current September 2007

Lanikai means "heavenly seas" and is one of the most desired, prestigious, and expensive areas of Kailua. Home or vacation spot to many local and national celebrities, such as the beloved late Don Ho, you will find multi-million dollar mansions and modern architechtural masterpieces mingled with plantation style homes and shabby beach cottages.  As one of the first and oldest areas of Kailua, there are more very old (incl. 20's & 30's) homes left in this area of Kailua than any other, some beautifully restored. The beach, with it's soft white sand is world renowned and many homes are either beachfront or have a views of the ocean and nearby Mokulua islands, a wildlife preserve, to which people take out kayaks. It is very, very expensive and you really can't even buy a tear-down for much less than $2M. Prices range up above $10M, depending upon the property. It is located at the South end of Kailua Beach Park, up the Lanikai Hill (Alala Street). Homes start on a realtively flat loop road and branch out up the hills from there. The Mid-Pacific Country Club and Golf Course is located in Lanikai. Commuting out of Kailua to town is not as easy from this area, as there is only one road in and out. Bellows Air Force Station recreation Area is located directly South of Lanikai and the Bluestone condominiums and Keolu Hills neighborhoods are on the backside of Lanikai's hills.
