The Neighborhood:
**There is a new home being built on lot 26, two lots over. There is a finished home that sits between our home and the lot under construction. The community has strict working hours during the day and weekdays, but it is inevitable that you will hear some construction noise and see construction vehicles when driving by lot 26 and when looking that way from the driveway area of our lot.

Just a short walk or bike ride from the house, enjoy the world-renowned white sand beaches of Mauna Kea (Kauna'oa Beach) and Hapuna Beach.
