A Big Island Neighborhood Tour:

South Kohala, Waimea, & North Kohala

Take my 12-minute whirlwind tour

People visit the Big Island on vacation and end up falling in love, but they don’t have the time to explore the island enough to choose a neighborhood they might want to buy in. Just getting from one area to another takes 30 - 45 minutes — it's called the BIG Island for a reason — and you never really get a feel for what it’s like to live there.

This is where my expertise comes in. As an experienced realtor at Venture Sotheby’s on the Big Island, I know each of the three areas I will tell you about in this tour intimately and can help you find the one that is right for you. They are:
  • South Kohala: Covering the western flank of Mauna Kea, this is our premiere resort area
  • Waimea: Also known as Kamuela, this neighborhood has a small-town feel with inspiring mountain views
  • North Kohala: This is the oldest part of the island and offers a more rural, ranch lifestyle
By the end of our time together, you should have a strong sense of the things that make each neighborhood unique. Who knows? You may even feel like you found one you want to call home. If that's the case, I'm here to help!
