Kauai Home for Sale
See what's in the area for the House for Sale at 217 Lauone Rd., Kapaa. Click on "walkscore" above.
“Walkability has become a buzzword in real estate, as environmentalists and “green” planners advocate compact residential neighborhoods near businesses and public transportation. And some realtors say in this difficult market, houses with high walkability scores are easier to sell: Owners can save money by walking to mass transit, and by using less gas when running errands”, says Matt Lerner of Walk Score Blog.
I think this "walkscore" application is a great idea, however, Kauai's terrain and infrastructure just doesn't provide for a walkable solution. Kauai is NOT like the mainland...Buyers just need to come to terms with that!!

Kauai - Things to do!
Does this picture look familiar? (Hint: look at my opening page blog photo)
My friend, John and I fit in a motorcycle ride in our busy schedule last weekend. We went to Polihale and then up to Kalalau Lookout in Kokee.
Just one of the exhilarating things to do on Kauai!
Here's another great thing to do on Kauai, check out John's cafe! Kalaheo Cafe and Coffee Company

Poipu Beach Estates
This photo was taken on June 5th, Friday afternoon, from the 11th hole of the Kiahuna Golf Course which overlooks Poipu Beach Estates. Currently, there are 8 lots for sale ranging from 11,256 sq. ft - 1.25 acres, priced from $320,000 - $825,000. In my opinion, this will be an exciting new neighborhood for Poipu. Poipu Beach Estates is within walking distance to the "soon to open" Kukui'ula Village and the famous Poipu Beach park.
Some of the highlights of Poipu Beach Estates include the following:
*Low monthly fees
*Underground utilities with digital phone, cable and internet
*Located in the Vacation Destination Area where vacation rentals are possible with County approval
*Additional Dwelling Unit allowed; restrictions applicable
*Two water supplies-County water for home use and Ag water at a much reduced cost for irrigating your landscaping
I spend a lot of time walking through the Poipu Beach Estate lots, trying to get a feel of the views, wind flow, lot location, proximity to the road, golf course....
