What's To Love
The neighborhood offers lovely green spaces, with winding roads and various terrains. Most homes are either on cesspool or have already been upgraded to a septic tank. Residents are a short drive from the beaches of South Shore, which offer some of the best oceanfront developments in the region.
What's Not To Love
Lawai has no oceanfront properties as the closest beach is a short drive to the south. It frequently rains in Lawai and can be cold in the evenings with lots of humidity typical in an elevated region with a Tropical climate.
Is it for me?
Who is this neighborhood for
Lawai is in a predominantly residential region of South Shore surrounded by other towns that serve as bedroom communities for the more developed beachfront areas in the region. Families looking to move into the region will find fantastic housing options in the area with spacious home lots with ample yard space and large houses with multiple bedrooms and baths. Residents are a short drive away from the beaches, making it exceptionally great for those looking to live in the area but still be a reasonable distance away from the major tourist spots of South Kauai.
