Kukui Gardens is located near the Central Business District, immediately adjacent to Chinatown. The property surrounds a county park that contains a community center and playground. It has excellent access to public transportation, shopping, restaurants, and entertainment. Kukui Gardens was designed by world-renowned architect Cesar Pelli and was constructed in 1971 under the HUD 221(d)(3) program. 

Covering approximately 9 acres, 20 attractively designed buildings house 1-4 bedroom family apartment homes, many of which exhibits a private patio or balcony. 

Dave's Thoughts On Kukui Gardens

This LIHTC property is among the most common types of affordable rental housing in the United States. The LIHTC program only provides subsidies to the building’s owner at construction. No subsidies are provided directly to the residents, but the owner must set rents affordable to low-income renters in the area. Our data suggests Kukui Gardens does not participate in any project-based rent subsidy program. This means you must earn enough to pay the full rent or have your own Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher. For that reason, LIHTC properties tend to have shorter waiting lists or even none at all. LIHTC properties nationwide are required to accept housing vouchers. LIHTC properties were first built in the late 1980's. Because they tend to be newer, these properties are more likely to have larger units, more amenities, and greater tenant service offerings than other affordable housing programs. This property might be right for you if you have a housing voucher or enough income to pay rent, are looking for a high quality property, or need immediate availability. Since this property participates in the LIHTC program, the property is required to accept Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers.
