East Hawaiʻi Relocation Guide for Healthcare Professionals

Considering a move to East Hawaiʻi for a healthcare position? The region includes everything from in-town Hilo homes to rural properties in Puna, North Hilo and along the Hāmākua Coast, but these properties can differ dramatically in climate, infrastructure and maintenance requirements. Aloha, I’m Missy Elliott, a Big Island REALTOR® with NextHome Paradise Realty. Before entering real estate, I spent nearly 20 years as a pharmacist and eventually served as a regional Director of Pharmacy here on Hawaiʻi Island. In this East Hawaiʻi relocation guide, we’ll discuss: • Hilo as the region’s principal employment and service center • Keaʻau, Puna, North Hilo and the Hāmākua Coast • Localized rainfall, elevation and microclimates • Moisture management and property condition • Public, private and subdivision roads • County water, private water and rainwater catchment • Sewer, septic systems and existing cesspools • Lava-flow hazard zones • Parcel, permit and property-record research • The responsibilities that can accompany rural properties East Hawaiʻi is not one housing market or one lifestyle. Two homes located on the same side of the island may have very different roads, utilities, climates and maintenance requirements. The goal is not to identify one universally “best” community. It is to understand the objective characteristics of each property and determine which ones support your work, household and long-term plans. ▶ REQUEST YOUR FREE HAWAIʻI ISLAND HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONAL RELOCATION GUIDE: https://missyelliotthawaii.com/health... ▶ WATCH THE COMPLETE BIG ISLAND HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONAL RELOCATION SERIES:    • Big Island Healthcare Professional Relocat...   ▶ SEARCH BIG ISLAND REAL ESTATE OR CONTACT MISSY: https://missyelliottrealtor.com/ ▶ SUBSCRIBE FOR BIG ISLAND REAL ESTATE AND RELOCATION GUIDANCE:    / @missyelliottrealtor   Missy Elliott, PharmD, REALTOR® Realtor Salesperson, RS-87428 NextHome Paradise Realty, RB-23114 808-987-4211 missyelliottrealtor@gmail.com https://missyelliottrealtor.com/ OFFICIAL RESOURCES Hawaiʻi County Planning Department maps and property resources: https://www.planning.hawaiicounty.gov...
