Princeville's economy centers on The Westin Princeville Ocean Resort Villas, the Princeville Makai Golf Club, and the Prince Golf Course.
Genuinely limited local economic diversification
Unlike Kapaa's more diversified, year-round local commercial hub (this project's kapaa.js record), Princeville's own job base runs almost entirely through resort, golf, and hospitality employers.
Commuting complicated by single-road access
Residents needing employment outside the resort sector commonly commute toward Lihue or Kapaa -- itself complicated by the North Shore's real, single-road-access profile.
Key takeaways
- Princeville's economy runs almost entirely through resort and golf employers.
- Genuinely limited local economic diversification exists beyond the resort core.
- Commuting for non-resort employment is complicated by the North Shore's single-road access.
