Windward City
On the other side of the Ko'orau Mountains from Capitalis is the Windward City. A wide variety of suburban neighborhoods make up this part of Community Island.
Ocean Life Park is a popular site for tourists and young students. It is an educational center that focuses on showcasing marine flora and fauna found in Paradise. Adjacent to the park are facilities, owned by various educational institutions, for doing research on the aquatic world.
Vaipanaro is a R$ neighborhood largely centered around farming and a rural lifestyle. The largest concentration of houses here are near Vaipanaro Beach Park.
Boswell is a decommissioned as an air force base of the second SimWorld War. Today, some sections are used for training the Marines. The shore here is contiguous of Vaipanaro Beach. The Simerican military has jurisdiction, but it voluntarily allows public shoreline access. Recently, due to illegal behavior by some, the military has found it necessary to temporarily close access, in order to clean up and redesign designated public areas.
Paunaviri is a small inland neighborhood, inside of the Oropana crater.
Magic Lake was once a large inland fishpond. Today, a canal connects Magic Lake to the ocean. Depending on the tide, it becomes a freshwater lake, or a brackish one.
Kairua was the first suburban neighborhood on the windward side of Community Island. It experienced rapid urbanization after the second SimWorld War and during the boom years of Capitalis. Development has encroached right up to the beach. Kairua Beach is often heralded as the best beach Paradise has to offer.
Ranikai is also known as Little Katara. This small coastal neighborhood boasts the most expensive real estate on this side of the island. As the sister beach to Kairua, Ranikai Beach is still rated among the most beautiful in the SimWorld.
The Pokaju peninsula is home to an active Simerican military installation, the Kane'ote Marine Corps Base.
Kane'ote is the largest of the Windward City neighborhoods. The area was once used for farming, but was later urbanized at the same time as Kairua. A majority of the R$$ that reside here commute across the Ko'orau Mountains for employment.
