Ajit... there are many schools of thought. Elevation was one of our major issues. Below 800 to 1000 feet, the trades haven't hit the island yet, so expect hot, humid and mujggy. 1000 to 1500 still rather dry. 1500 to 2500, cool and wet. over 2500.. often less wet but colder.
As for choosing one subdivision over another, my thoughts would be CC&R's and road/power/phone accedss. Fern Forest is rough in most areas with limited power and generally 3 acre lots. Leilani estates is twice the price but has good roads, power and very restrictive CC&R's (good or bad depending on your desires.). I strongly recommend you drive up and down streets to get the feel. Neighbors can make or break a neighborhood. Also to be considered is the road access to the hiway. If you will work in Hilo, 3 minutes from the hiway is a lot different than 25 minutes from the hiway.
Good luck. Feel free to be in touch. I am up N. Glenwood Rd. (Fren Forest is on S. Glenwood), while Fern Acres and Hawaiian Acres are on S. Kulani at a lower elevation.

I want to be the kind of woman that, when my feet
hit the floor each morning, the devil says
"Oh Crap, She's up!"
