Napilihau Villages I

4955 Hanawai St, Lahaina, HI 96761

Napilihau Villages I is an inland residential community on Hanawai Street, the newest of the Napili-area condo complexes covered here, built in 1997 with 76 homes across nine two-story buildings. All units are two-bedroom layouts, with three variations ranging from about 646 to 767 square feet, each with private storage, and the location is a short distance from neighborhood shops rather than on the water. It's fee-simple ownership and pet-friendly, a straightforward residential setting distinct from the beachfront buildings nearby.

Short-term vacation rental is not allowed at Napilihau Villages I, and the residential zoning here (A-1) supports that: this is a long-term, residential community rather than a resort-style building. Long-term renting is a normal part of the mix, and for buyers who want an inland, family-friendly home in Napili without vacation-rental turnover next door, that's the appeal.
