SperlingViews - Hilo, Hawaii

Hilo Hawaii is one of the beautiful locations in the world. With an average of over 100 inches a year and tropical climate it is stunning with green. Very old and small town it is easy to get to know and be known by the locals, which are to be respected for the love of family and land. During the summer, rain is primarily during the evening hours and gorgeous during the day. The unfortunate side is costs of living, based on the majority of food and fuel, and resources being shipped, it is on high side. Aloha, Hilograndpa[read more...]

Actually I live in Japan now, but Hilo was a great place to live. Really laid back and local. The only thing is it rains a lot, but when the sun's out it's much more beautiful than Kona side. I have fond memories of Hilo, but the cost of real estate is ridiculous, even though it's more expensive in most other places throughout the state.[read more...]

Hilo is on the move, as is the entire Big Island. But, for now, it remains a great small city to meet people and raise of family. Teenagers will be bored, claiming there is nothing to do.

Not so great a place for those living the single life. Not many social venues, nor opportunities to meet. Beach scene is very limited, which is surprising for an island[read more...]
