Waimea Homes For Sale
Waimea translated to “Red Water” in Hawaiian is a census-designated place in the southwestern portion of the main island of Kauai County, Hawaii. Like many communities in this part of the island, Waimea is mostly rural, offering outback tours and nature hikes for tourists looking for an outdoor adventure away from the typical beach spots in the region. Waimea is known for being the place where Captain Cook first set foot in Hawaii and features beautiful spots on the beachfront areas of town. The Waimea river meets the ocean in Waimea, and half of the community is within the river basin. The area conveniently has a hospital, two grocery stores, and a bank, making it one of the relatively convenient places to move into the West Side of Kauai.
When it comes to real estate options, Waimea has an assortment of newer and older subdivisions. These communities feature a wide variety of single-family homes providing buyers a good list of properties to choose from when making their purchase. Houses in the area typically feature classic Hawaiian designs for suburban areas with distinct American and Asian influences in their architecture. Ample single-story and two-story home options allow you to pick a property that best suits your needs.
