Before I bought my land in Eden Roc (that's in Mountain View, much cheaper, and much cooler at a higher elevation), I spent a month at a VRBO ("Vacation Rental By Owner" or www.vrbo.com ) in HPP near the ocean. I had previously scoped out HPP and thought I would like living there, but the summer I spent a month there, I found it was too hot for my tastes. And that's about the time that lots started getting very expensive (comparatively) in HPP. My point is that it really does help if you can spend a little time in a neighborhood, not just drive around it, and renting a VRBO is probably a smart and not-that-expensive way to see if you like it. That being said, as someone else noted, HPP is HUGE and varies alot from street to street, just like a lot of other "developments." In addition, tho, you might want to appreciate the fact that HPP is in lava zone 3 (as is Eden Roc, and many other developments, but NOT Leilani Estates, which is lovely, but is in lava zone 1). So many variables, so many choices!!! Aren't we all lucky to live Hawaii!?!
