Hi everyone I am a new member and will be moving to the Big Island in September. I will be working in healthcare in the Waimea area. Which brings me to my question. Are there any apartments within a 35 minute radius of waimea? I have spent hours on the interent looking for rentals but have not found anything beyond the vacation rentals which are extremely expensive. Does anyone on HT have any tips for finding a relatively affordable (under 1000/month) apartmnet on the Big Island? Thanks a bunch

That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

I would guess that $1000 a month would be very cheap for Waimea. That would be cheap for Hilo, unless you want to live in a dirty shack in the "bad" part of town. Also, keep in mind that most rentals here are houses, not apartment buildings.

Re: Apartments in Big Island?
The last apartments built in Kona were Kona Coffee Villas. That was over 25 years ago.
The Politics of NO has done a remarkable job of keeping densities low and prices high for the last 10 years. Times are changing, and higher densities are becoming more favorable in an effort to preserve ag/open space and prevent sprawl. But I know of nothing in the works right now that is 3 stories or taller.
In Hawaii, most of the people who complain about the growth, or higher densities, have a hidden agenda. Their real mission is to preserve Hawaii for only the wealthy. The way they do this is by stifling supply through activism, most especially the higher densities, that would lend themselves to affordability.
It is a hardcore irony to see a growth protester who rents instead of owns. Just another great example of liberal cognitive dissonance.FutureNewsNetwork.com

I was so tempted to buy...the asking was 250k for a 2bed 2 bath.
I could totally see myself in there as my second home, working and enjoying the BI tranquility. Great cooler climate up at that altitude too...
What are units going for in there now ?

Re: Apartments in Big Island?
www.westhawaiitoday.com has a lot of rental ads that may be helpful. Good luck. My husband found a nice, furnished condo in Waikoloa to live in until I come over with the cat and household goods and we find a place on Oahu.
