Bluesboy: "in my opinion Leilani Estates is much nicer than HPP. You're farther from Hilo, but if you want to be close to Hilo why would you move to HPP?"
Because HPP is affordable and Hilo is not, there is nothing most people can afford between HPP and Hilo. I know this as someone who makes that drive to Hilo 192 days a year to work and has been looking for years for something closer I could afford on a teacher's salary.
HPP and Leilani are very different in terms of size and population, HPP is still nowhere near built out and has over 10,000 people, 2400 are school age. At roughly 4 miles by 4 miles, plus the shoreline area and Kaloli Point, HPP varies greatly in climate and personality. Leilani is much smaller and more homogenous, and is in a different lava zone.
Every subdivision and village in Puna has it's own flavor and personality so there are lots of choices for everyone.
