I wouldn't call any of the listings an opportunity of a lifetime.
The listing on Papio is a problem because Papio serves as a main road to Old government Beach Road which has the Waa Waa subdivision and serves as a connective between Kapoho and Hawaiian Shores. If that wasn't bad enough, the home owners on Papio put in speed bumps which are a double edge sword with regard to peace and safety. If memory serves me, that house has a speed bump right in front of it, thus the noise of slowing, bumping and accelerating will be a real pain to listen to. Interestingly a few houses went up for sale shortly after the speed bumps were installed and very likely it was some of the people eho had the bumps installed, realizing they made a huge mistake, the one you're asking about being one of them. As a former developer, I can tell you that speed bumps next to houses are a rookie mistake and to be avoided at all cost. Considering the culprit who had them installed, it's not surprising such a stupid thing would be done, reacting without true research. Bottom line, the shores house will NOT be peaceful and buying on any main connective is most often a poor choice for a home unless you're a truck driver, holding out for commercial zoning and or deaf. I couldn't tell you anything about the other place.
Good luck.
