What I wish I knew before living in Wailuku
So, I'm originally from Sacramento and With a population of 15,754, Wailuku is a small town. Rent is about $1,747/month for a decent place. Homes are going for about $781,700 on average. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse.
Pros:
- Friendly people
- Diverse community
- Low taxes
Cons:
- Sprawl everywhere
- Lack of diversity
- Few job opportunities in some fields

Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. I'd say it's better for families than young singles.
