Several of the most popular and highly coveted Hawaii real estate listings are located in the very prestigious and quite elite Kahala area of east Honolulu.  At the center of Kahala’s social life is the Kahala Mall, an enclosed shopping mall that serves as a gathering place as well as a gateway to east Oahu.  In addition to a number of independently-owned shops and local merchants, a number of nationally and internationally recognized establishments have retail stores at the mall, including Whole Foods Market, Apple Store, Macy’s, Barnes & Noble, Starbucks, Jamba Juice, Radio Shack, Chili’s and California Pizza Kitchen.  Consolidated Theatres, the state’s largest movie theater chain, also operates an eight-screen complex at the mall.  The mall is known for its sizeable indoor water fountain and an abundance of indoor seating popular with senior citizens in the mornings and young adults in the evenings.  The mall is typically quite busy for the entire day from sun up to sun down.  While the mall itself technically closes at a certain time every night, the entire mall remains unlocked and open beyond the posted hours in order to accommodate the late night movie crowd as well as the several restaurants that stay open quite late.
