Wow, I know exactly where that is. Using Hukilau logistics, it's about 12 miles southwest of The Mai-Kai and about 10 miles directly west of the Bahia Cabana.

It's not far from the Hawaiian Gardens, which has been well documented: http://www.critiki.com/cgi-bin/location.cgi?loc_id=540
I'm surpirsed this one flew under the radar. Just did some Google research. From what I can tell it was built around the same time as Hawaiian Gardens (early to mid-'70s).

Hawaiian Gardens is now a condo retirement community for ages 55+ but Polynesian Gardens appears to be open to all ages. It contains 475 condo units in five buildings/complexes. Like most other older condos in the current real estate market, prices have plummeted below $100,000 and there have been quite a few foreclosures. But it appears to be well-kept and has not fallen into disrepair, at least if you can believe the Realtor photos.

So, let me run by there and take a gander. I'll be in that area next Saturday.
