Neighborhood Profile
Most weekday mornings I can be found at my desk in the beautiful Mauna Kea Resort working away. When hotel guests stop by to say hello and talk real estate, they are typically surprised to find two bedroom condos, some on the fairway, all with ocean views, well under $1M. Today the asking prices for those Kumulani condos start at $550,000. Located within Mauna Kea Resort, Kumulani is an amazing value for tennis, golf and beach buffs.
Another neighborhood with ocean views available at respectable prices is Sunset Ridge in Waikoloa Village. Being outside the resort and further away from the beach is the downside, but the upside is recently built, single family, three bedroom homes with ocean views, and homeowner association dues of just $500 per year. Today these homes are priced at $425-650K.
Waikoloa Village is not to be confused with Waikoloa Beach Resort. The resort is located about ten minutes down the hill from the Village entrance. Waikoloa Beach Resort has a wide selection of lovely condominiums, but no single family homes. Today the Waikoloa Beach Resort condos are priced $275K to $2.75M.
Included in the annual Waikoloa Village homeowner association dues are discounted green fees on the neighborhood golf course, use of tennis courts, and swimming pool. At the association website read the Village newsletter and official association documents; learn about the Golf Club, the long list of Village social and charitable organizations, and the businesses that serve the Village.
Yes, some Sunset Ridge homes were built in the 1990s, and their asking prices are lower. If an ocean view is what you are looking for, be sure to first consider the homes built in 2007 and 2011. “Contact me” and ask for a specific list of the newer built Sunset Ridge homes.
