Malulani Gardens is a highly regarded, award-winning planned unit development (PUD) offering a quaint and desirable residential experience in the heart of Kailua-Kona on the Big Island of Hawaii. This gated community, primarily established in the early 2000s, is known for its charming Hawaiian Plantation-style homes and convenient location.
Kailua-Kona was a pivotal location, famously where
Captain Cook landed in 1779 and later became the capital of all Hawaii under
Kamehameha I. While the region transformed with plantations and farms in the 19th century (its coffee gaining global renown), the post-WWII tourism boom, and subsequent development waves have shaped it into the desirable destination it is today.
Property Characteristics - The lots here range from 4,300 to 9,700 Sq Ft.
- These one and two-story homes offer interiors spanning 1,100 to 2,000 Sq Ft, with 2 to 3 bedrooms and 2 to 3 bathrooms.
- The Hawaiian Plantation-style is prevalent, with open floor plans in their living areas and nice-sized lanai spaces to spend time on with friends & family.
Location - Day-to-day needs are easily met right at the bottom of the subdivision, with major shopping centers such as Kona Crossroads and Lanihau Center right there, providing everything from grocery shopping to home improvement supplies.
- Located just 1.5 miles away in Kailua-Kona town is Kamakahonu Beach, where you’ll find calmer waters ideal for swimming, paddleboarding, and snorkeling in the midst of a number of different tropical fish.
- Old Kona Airport Recreation Center (1.7 miles away) is just beyond Kamakahonu. This massive recreational facility features baseball and soccer fields, tennis courts, an aquatic center, a skateboarding park, and a beach area with large tide pools.
Features & Amenities - The community is surrounded by open, green landscape on the south, east and most of its west side.
