'Āhuimanu is a residential community and census-designated place (CDP) located in the City & County of Honolulu, District of Ko'olaupoko, island of O'ahu, Hawai'i. In Hawaiian 'āhui-manu means "cluster of birds".
'Āhuimanu is spread out beneath the steep windward pali (cliff face) of the Ko'olau mountain and separated by a low ridge from He'eia Kea. Thus, this area is mostly inland and not directly on Kāne'ohe Bay. However, one neighborhood spreads over the ridge and along Kamehameha Highway where there is private access to the Bay shore. Proximity to the pali gives the place a generally wet climate. As of the 2000 Census, this largely residential area had a total population of 8,506. A small commercial mall is located here across the highway from the Valley of the Temples Memorial Park, a large cemetery noted for its Byodo-in Temple.
The U.S. postal code for 'Āhuimanu is 96744.
