Thanks for all the info Donna. I was leaning towards Hawaiian Beaches and it sounds like the perfect place for us.
Not speaking as someone who doesn't make mistakes choosing real estate, rather as someone who has gotten some unpleasant surprises. It is really easy to get "high"
on a property and just want so much for it to be the one that you tune out some red flags. Particularly if you are ready for the prroperty hunt to end.
At minimum, check out the potential of each adjoining lot to have an impact on you, and look into how people feel about the pros and cons of no CC&R's.
Make sure you know all the allowed uses of land there.
Check and see if the water company is allowing new hookups.
Best of luck whatever you pick.
