I think I drove about every sq inch of HA roads, prior to buying my lot in Orchidland. I'd look at Fern Acres personally, because you have paved roads and the bus route. On the other hand HA is nice and the thing to research is if your lot will flood and the roads going out there. The lots in the middle of the sub. are usually the cheap ones, and the roads really are terrible, although mostly passable in my minivan. I almost bought a lot in HA for 13,000, but the sellers wouldnt take less than 14 and I walked. It was on craigslist. I have been having to fly back and forth to Oahu for school and I agree that it's really builtup there. I don't like it at all. GL with your search. If your wife can transfer, then I'd just move here - into a rental -and then you'll be able to drive around and see for yourself what you like. Give yourself 6 mo. to figure it out while renting. Then again, if you see a "killer deal" you may just have to jump at it, and deal with the consequences later (but I am not risk averse at all). Sometimes people get desperate, or get bad advice- and sell good stuff for really cheap.
