Kilohana Ridge

Kilohana Ridge sits in South Kihei across from Keawakapu Beach, close enough to the Wailea border to give buyers resort-adjacent proximity without resort-level pricing. It's one of several similarly named neighborhoods in the broader Kilohana development, along with Kilohana Hema, Kilohana Waena, and the small gated Alii Lani Estates enclave, so it's worth confirming which specific subdivision a listing sits in. Kilohana Ridge itself was developed in 2003 by Towne Island Homes, with lots running roughly 7,500 to 9,500 square feet and homes between 1,500 and 2,800 square feet, a scale that suits full-time residents and vacation-home buyers alike. Kilohana Ridge has open, ungated access. The gated reputation some buyers have heard about in this part of Kihei belongs to a different section of the Kilohana development, not to Kilohana Ridge.

The HOA fee has been reported at $500 semi-annually, billed each January and July, covering garbage, green-waste, and recycling pickup, common-area landscaping, and a reserve for private-road maintenance. That figure shows up across most community write-ups, but at least one current listing shows a higher semi-annual due, so confirm the exact current amount with the HOA before quoting it to a buyer or seller. Being directly across from Keawakapu Beach, one of South Maui's better swimming and sunset spots, is the neighborhood's biggest draw for buyers who want beach access on foot.
