West Maui consists of the beachfront cities of Kapalua, Napili, Kahana (with the Kapalua Airport), Ka'anapali, and Lahaina. For years, the inward land of western Maui was used for agricultural farms, sugar plantations, and successful coffee crops. Many modern developments include farm estates where agriculture will continue to rise in scope and production.

However, most people imagine themselves on the beautiful oceanfront properties of west Maui. There, one can find condominiums, apartment complexes, resorts, hotels, single family homes, and a variety of small single-person houses. The popularity and marketability of west Maui real estate continues to rise as the number of available locations slowly decreases.

The historic city of Lahaina usually has old plantation and cane style homes for sale. These are more rustic in appearance and offer more timeless lodging compared to modern beachfront properties. In addition, the western upcountry usually features houses that are located away from the main road. These homes and condos require a good car and a lot of self-sufficient planning for long overnight periods.
