Hanapepe, West Side Kauai Real Estate

Hanapepe is a town rich in Hawaii history and is one of the island’s hidden gems. The single family homes of Hanapepe are typically listed well under 1M, making it an affordable alternative to the luxury homes of nearby resort communities. This small town on the southern shore spans roughly a square mile, but don’t let its size fool you. While you’ll find it has a quiet charm today, it was once one of Kauai’s largest communities.

The evidence of a once bustling district is everywhere as you walk through town. Many of the plantation style buildings, built during the sugar plantation era by entrepreneurial immigrants, have been preserved and repurposed as shops, cafes, and art galleries. The authentic, old time charm has even brought film makers here to shoot various times over the years. Hanapepe town has been called the art capitol of Kauai. In fact, it has a long history of hosting weekly art nights, where galleries extend a special invite to visitors and locals alike to celebrate local artists while vendors and musicians line the road through town.

Hanapepe’s Salt Pond Beach Park is one of the best places to swim safely on the island due to the curved reef that protects it. The salt beds nearby are a preserved piece of Hawaiian culture.
