Royal Hawaiian Estates or Glenwood Gardens?

[shens32572]

Howdy,

IM interested in purchasing lot in Puna area, due to my limited funds (25k-30k ) I have narrowed my search to 3 subdivisions, Royal Hawaiian Estates, Glenwood Gardens, and Aloha Estates.
Which area would offer the biggest bang for the buck? The least amount of crime? Least amount Junk houses & shacks? Does it rain too much in these areas? I plan to visit area in next couple months for vacation, & to purchase lot.
IM open to Ainaloa, Tiki Gardens, Nanawale also, but from what I have read on internet it sounds like upper Puna is more suitable for me due to heat
I don’t plan to move there for 5 years, just want to get a foothold in while lots are still affordable.


Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Thanks!
