Aloha Laura, Glenwood is between Mt. View and Volcano, about 2500' elevation. It is lush, cool and wet, a very rural area, just 1 gas station/store on the highway, a few houses. There are large country subdivisions off each side of the highway, Fernforest Vacation estates, mostly 3 acre lots on one side and Glenwood gardens, smaller lots, on the other. Only part of these subdivisions have any utilities, some of the roads are rough. I believe the zip is same as Mt. View 96771. The high school would be Keaau High. Since it is so rural, most of the kids seek fun at the beach or go to Keaau or more often Hilo, or party at friends homes. To find real estate prices in the area you can go to www.hawaiiinformation.com, click on Puna then type in fern forest or glenwood in "subdivision". Cellphone should work well, I don't know of there is cable or not. Hope this helps, Hutch
