let me be the first to chime in. I'm from Oahu originally, and I just moved my family here because of the price of homes in Puna is very affordable,and I truly believe the Big Island is a wonderful place to raise one's family. We moved here on Jan 31st of this year. Before moving here I did my research about the subdivisions. I checked them all out, Ainaloa, HPP, Nanawale Estates, Hawaiian Beaches, etc, etc... Each of these subdivisions offers something special & unique. Just like "beauty is in the eye of the beholder", so is the special & unique aspect of these subdivisions! After all my research on all the subdivisions, guess where I'm having my home built? HPP!!! For me and my family it was the obvious choice!
We are living in the part of HPP where my kids attend Kea'au school. Currently I live on 9th Ave. while my house is being built on 3rd Ave. BI Vet, it is my opinion that HPP is the premier subdivision on the east-side. Why? Simply look how much the lots have increased in price the past 5 years, and I believe it's the fastest growing subdivision on this side for many a reason too, and none of them are crime related!
As your friend in Kona when was he last in HPP? Ten years ago or more the subdivisons caught a "bad rap", as being the Wild,wild west. But today they are booming with life. A lot of retired 'Baby Boomers',from the mainland, and locals from Oahu trying to find affordable housing now make up the majority of the subdivison residents. They all pretty much live in harmony too.
In closing I'd say that Kona has a much larger drug problem than HPP any day!
