Neighborhoods on Maui for Families

For a relatively small island, Maui offers a large diversity of lifestyles and microclimates that appeal to a wide range of people.

Maui Real Estate with Agricultural Zoning: Best Areas and Development Rules

Maui Agricultural Properties Zoning

On Maui, living in harmony with the natural environment is a top priority.

Agricultural zoning is also the most flexible zoning classification when it comes to subdividing, and many take advantage of this through the CPR process which I will describe later, if you're not already familiar. 

Numerous agriculturally zoned neighborhoods on Maui strike a harmonious balance between development and nature. This agricultural zoning designation, also known as AG zoning, allows for multiple residential homes to be constructed under…

You'll notice that many properties are described in listings as being a ‘CPR property’, or have unit A or unit B next to the address, that is there to designate the conforming use of that lot.
