The Residences at Kulamalu

The Residences at Kulamalu sits in Pukalani, upcountry, right alongside the Pukalani Golf Course, with the elevation delivering premium views over Maalaea Bay and Kalialinui Gulch on the better-facing lots. It's a small, established neighborhood built out between 2003 and 2005, holding 57 homes on lots roughly 10,000 to 13,000 square feet, generously sized for an upcountry subdivision. A block of Kamehameha Schools land separates it from its sister developments, Kulamalu Hilltop and The Cottages at Kulamalu, so despite sharing a name and a developer history, there's no direct access between the three.

One detail buyers should know going in: despite the generous lot sizes, the CC&Rs here prohibit ohana or accessory dwellings, and local listings for the neighborhood describe it as a rule the community actually enforces, not just a formality on paper. It's a real trade-off for anyone hoping to add a rental unit or multi-generational living space. Buyers who want this confirmed in writing should ask for the recorded CC&Rs directly rather than relying on marketing copy, including ours. The resale market is quiet, with low turnover and few homes changing hands in a given year; a recent high sale landed around $1.89 million in 2024, and pricing generally runs from the high six figures into the high $1 millions, with a premium for golf-course or bay and gulch views.
