Kapaa Homesteads, located between Kapaa Town and Wailua, is a residential and hillside Kapaa neighborhood with trade-wind views and a garden-lot feel. The neighborhood reads as plantation-era cottages and newer single-family homes set along curving roads above the coast. The character concentrates around the Kuhio Highway corridor near Kapaa Beach Park, where shave-ice stands, local plate-lunch counters, and surf shops set a salty, walk-and-stop rhythm. Community pillars include Kauai Bakery, Pono Market, and the Kapaa Art Gallery. Days tend to orbit beach paths, school fields, and errands in town, with mauka roads leading back to quieter streets. Rain showers and sunbreaks move fast here, keeping yards green and the air cool.

Lowest priced property in Kapaa right now that's not a CPR!!! Great property on the corner of Kawaihau Rd. Actual square footage and tax records do not match. The front portion of the home was built in 1935 the back addition was built in 1978. The front of the home features a living area, 2 bedrooms, 1 bath with kitchen. The back portion of the home is a large room, bedroom and a bath that leads to the carport. This home is older and reflects its age. It is a fixer although is being well maintained by tenants. A 2 minute drive to Kapaa town and Kealia Beach.

Residential District - 4 DU per Acre
The Residential District regulates the number of people living in a given area by specifying the maximum allowable number of dwelling units that may be developed on any given parcel of land. In order not to differentiate between economic groups or life-styles, a reasonable flexibility in the type of dwelling units and their placement on the land has been provided; to establish standards governing the development, construction and use of housing and dwelling facilities; to provide opportunity for all groups of persons to obtain adequate housing within each area of the County suitable for residential use in relation to other land uses and consistent with the preservation of natural, scenic, and historic resources; to establish the level of minimum services necessary to assure the adequacy of housing; to encourage a variety of housing types, sizes and densities necessary to meet the needs of all economic groups and to avoid environmental monotony detrimental to the quality of life; and to maintain the character and integrity of communities within residential districts and support residents in continuing to live and raise their families in these neighborhoods.
