Real Estate On The Big Island Of Hawaii

Most people think of Oahu or Maui when they think about the state of Hawaii. They imagine visits to Pearl Harbor, Waikiki, Kihei, or LaHaina. However, the Island of Hawaii is the largest of the Hawaiian Islands and has the most real estate and square acreage available. Hawaii is also the biggest and the most diverse island.

In fact, Hawaii is larger in square mileage than all of the rest of the Hawaiian Islands together. The Island of Hawaii also features five volcanoes. You may have heard about Kilauea on the news, as this volcano is very active. It is erupting almost continuously and pouring lava out into the ocean. Many tourists visit the area annually, but the volcano itself is far from populated areas of the Big Island.

Hawaii actually has a very diverse mix of terrain on the Big Island-ranging from mountain slopes-both treeless and forested-and near desert situations in the north to tropical forests and even high plains. There's a little big of everything! In addition, there are agricultural areas that are well known for growing famous coffee beans, macadamia nuts, plumeria, and other tropical fruits.

As mentioned, Hawaii is famous for coffee and the town of Kona is very popular and well known for the production of Kona coffee. The town is also famous for being the starting place for the Ironman Triathlon. The name of this town-Kailua-Kona-on the Big Island is hyphenated because the Island of Oahu also has a town named Kailua.

The infamous Kona coffee is grown on the sides and slopes of another volcano, the Hualalai volcano, at elevations of 1,000 feet on higher. Here the area is rainy because moist tropical air flows up from below and then condenses into precipitation. This coffee is also grown elsewhere on the island. The volcanic soil is rich and conducive to growing the famous beans due to this type of environment.

Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea are also two very well-known volcanoes on the Island of Hawaii. Both stretch upward more than 30,000 feet from the floor of the ocean, making them taller than Mount Everest if you actually consider that fact. From sea level, Mauna Loa is 13,680 feet high and Mauna Kea is 13,796 feet high. Perhaps you have heard about the Keck telescope that is located toward the top of Mauna Kea. You might also be surprised to learn that visitors to Hawaii can often see snow on the top of these two mountainous volcanoes.

Did you know that the Island of Hawaii is so large that you could drive more than an entire day before you would get back to your starting point? As a result, residents rarely experience the "island fever" residents of the smaller islands suffer from. In addition to the island size, Hawaii also has some unique attributes related to atmosphere and quality of life for its residents that the other islands may not. Here life feels very similar to what suburban residents in other parts of the U.S. experience. Daily routines include work and church, soccer games, and social engagements. It's not quite like living in the middle of a resort area or tourist center the way it is on some of the smaller islands. There is even a large park north of the Kailua Harbor in what used to be the airport there.

Real estate is readily available for residential occupancy on the Big Island of Hawaii. Many middle class families make there homes here. In addition, there are many extravagant estates available for a more luxurious lifestyle, as well. Hawaii is a great all-American community within which to live, and it features a wide variety of diversity and cultural experiences. Take a look around on your next vacation to Hawaii. You may just decide you want to live here!
