A Picture Perfect Maui Suburbia

The suburbs.  I grew up in a Florida suburb, in Saint Petersburg on the Gulf Coast.  The rows of houses with fenced, manicured yards, sidewalks on both sides of the street, and depending on the suburb, houses that look like they were erected from one of 5 standard templates.

Well, Maui has its own share of the 'burbs too - where resident families of Maui lay roots.  If you're visiting Maui, you will probably never intentionally eye such neighborhoods.

I always thought suburbs such as this one were a little creepy.  It all looks the same.  Are the people the same too?  Who exactly lives around you?  Such uniformity and acceptance of conformity.  Different strokes for different folks I guess.

This is the Maui Lani subdivision near Wailuku.  The neighborhood was shot in the early morning light around 6:30AM on a Sunday morning while driving through in my truck.
