Hello again, as previsously mentioned in my first two threads, my family and I are going to be making a job-associated move to Hawaii. I'd like to get opinions on where to buy a home. From my preliminary research, it looks like the Leeward (Makaha, Maili) and Windward (Punaluu, Kahana) sides of the islands are the most affordable, and most beautiful in my opinion. I understand that this will create about an hours worth of commuting time for us, but I think we will be happier in either of these semi-remote spots (we've always lived in places out in the country). Gives me time to ride my motorcycle too! From what I've read, not too many Haoles live out in those places though. Do you think we'd have any problems? I'm sure most of you know that Makaha means fierce or savage--makes us wonder. We've got 3 kids ranging from 1 year to 13 years-old. We are definately not flashy people, simple is better in our book. Any specific advise you can give us will be greatly appreciated--negative (crime rates, auto thefts, burglaries) or positive (fishing spots, surfing, distance to shopping, schools, youth football etc).
Thanks
Thanks
