The Kohala Real Estate Update is for one of the most stunning regions on the west coast of the Big Island of Hawaii. The Big Island got its name to distinguish it from both the State of Hawaii and the island itself. Kohala is divided into two beautiful areas, North Kohala and South Kohala. North Kohala offers a more peaceful, rural charm, featuring the historic towns of Hawi and Kapa’au, while farther 
south is the exclusive Kohala Ranch communities.
South Kohala, starting just below Kohala Ranch, is home to some of Hawaii’s most renowned resorts—Mauna Kea, Mauna Lani, and Waikoloa Beach Resorts. This area also includes the charming town of Waikoloa Village, just six miles inland from the coast, and Waimea, a picturesque town nestled in the heart of the lush Waimea Valley. For the latest market insights into these and other beautiful spots, be sure to visit the Market Update Page on my website.
