I am curious about the differences in elevation in Hawaiian Acres. It seems to span from 700-1500 ft. I know coffee and certain fruits are usually grown above 1000 ft. I know many tropical fruits like lower elevations. I also noticed the lots in higher elevations within H.A. are more expensive. Why is this? Is it because there is something specific that people like about the elevation? I think the elevation is interesting but lower elevations seem more practical to me as far as growing fruits and veggies goes.

Road accessibiliy is the main reason for the price differences...roads around road 8 are usually in the best condition...and those closer to HWY11 are USUALLY in better condition (but there are exceptions to those rules...)

The "neighborhoods" within the acres vary a lot, I see more visible money up by 1 road and more visibly working class closer to 8 road, but who knows what is at the end of those winding driveways with locked gates. I know from when we shopped the Acres that some of the roads were deal breakers because my husband did not want to be locked into having to have two gas guzzling high clearance trucks. But, even though we bought in HPP, I really like the Acres and I know and work with a lot of people who have happily lived there for years and wouldn't consider living anywhere else.

the price of the lots really should reflect on how close you are to a good road and how many faults are with the property...
there are some real cheep lots at top of HA, especially if they are on a rough rd far from hwy, far from rd1 or rd8 or have drainage issues or alot of albezia or waiwi...
... the best coffee in the state (voted) is from a small farm on rd1 between B-C
you can grow coffee in all of HA, its the cloud cover, cindersoil, and rain that makes it good
