Leilani Estates is the jewel of Puna District. The neighborhood has some unique qualities: well maintained and nicely paved roads, mail delivery at the street, grid power, and CC&Rs; all too rare in the Puna District. Yet, this is raw Hawaii at its finest: one acre of tropical beauty. The neighborhood is easy to access from the Pahoa-Kalapana Road, also known as Hwy 130. The area offers a collection of beaches, parks, shopping centers, restaurants, cafes, urgent care, and government services. Leilani Estates is where you can build a home amidst Hawaii's natural beauty. Ohia, orchids, waiwi (strawberry guava), ginger, ferns, ti, hapuu (tree ferns), monstera, bromeliads, and much more are common in the area. Pride of ownership is evident within the neighborhood. The location is fairly remote, the roads are quiet and narrow. But don't confuse remote with distant. Leilani Estates is only minutes from Pahoa town and a little further to Keaau and Hilo. Pahoa town has wonderful cafes, restaurants, coffee shops, galleries, parks, post office, police, fire, and urgent care medical services. There is also the newer Puna Kai SHopping Center just a few minutes from the property. Just a little further away, Keaau provides most of the small town conveniences. When necessary, Hilo has everything: the University of Hawaii Hilo, government offices, and the International Airport by which to bring the rest of the world closer.
