Information About Living in Lahaina

In the 1800s, Lahaina was the center of the global whaling industry, but today only pleasure boats are anchored off of the West Maui town of just under 10,000 residents. Serving as the gateway to the famous Kaanapali and Kapalua beach resorts north of the city, Lahaina provides residents of real estate homes or condominiums for sale with exclusive living along pristine Maui shoreline. Popular for its sugar cane train, retail stores, and various ocean-bound activities, Lahaina is the perfect place for active people looking for daily adventure in a quiet, yet vibrant town.

Because of Lahaina’s world-renowned appeal, many events and attractions in Lahaina draw both a strong local and visitor crowd. The Plantation Course at Kapalua hosts the PGA Tour's Mercedes-Benz Championship every January. Halloween in Lahaina means a keiki parade, costume contest, and good food along the city’s historic Front Street. Front Street is known for its row of famous restaurants, some national, some local. As part of the historic Lahaina town, the street also offers broad variety of entertainment, creating Lahaina into the heart of nightlife on Maui. The upscale production of the show Ulalena is also staged in Lahaina daily. Every November, the town is also swamped because of the Maui Invitational that attracts top-notch college teams from around the nation to an exclusive preseason tournament. A slew of shopping, touring, and sightseeing is also available in Lahaina.
