Living in Kilauea, Kauai: A North Shore Beach Town (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When buyers tell me they want the North Shore, Kilauea, Kauaʻi is rarely the first town they name. They picture Hanalei Bay. But Kilauea sits just east of it, with the same coastline and a town of its own. Hanalei and Princeville get the postcards.

The town of Kapaʻa is ten minutes back down the hill. That combination is elevation, access, and a residential texture removed from the visitor corridor.
