Fastest growing part of Hawaii, the Puna district, long the state of Hawaii's poor ******* stepchild, is rapidly coming into it's own. Once only the land of erupting volcanoes, earthquakes and marijuana gardens, tropical and wet Puna, on the east side of Big Island of Hawaii has become a mecca for Baby boomers and dreamers from all over the earth. Here you will find hippies, rednecks, rastafari, buddhists, shaman, square pegs of all sorts, along with black sand beaches, lava flows, jungles, and some of the nicest people on the planet. Thousands of retirees are moving here, rather suddenly, from all over the mainland U.S. If you are interested in discussing living in Puna, or maybe Kau, or the Big Island in general, just post, maybe I can answer some of your queries. Aloha, Leilaniguy, from deepest, darkest Puna!

I'm doing research on moving to Hawaii, and it looks like the Big Island might be my only financially viable option (my first choice may have been Kauai, I think). I've contacted a buyer's agent on the Big Island with some detailed information about me and what I'm looking for, but I was thinking maybe I could get some more insight from people in this forum who've been living there for a while.
I realize this is an old post. Should I start a new post instead of adding to this one? |

Aloha insider, this is the original opening post from the other thread titled Puna with 160+ replies. It has the newest posts. Apparently there was a glitch in the system and the thread was cut in two somehow.
