Hawaii Resort Community Offers Authentic Island lifestyle in America’s #1 “State to Live In”

KaMilo Hawaii Resort Homes

Big Island resort community, KaMilo at the Mauna Lani Resort, offers an authentic Hawaii Island lifestyle, in the state that 2011 Harris Poll announces to be America’s #1 “State to Live In”

Kohala Coast, HI – Giving credence to what the residents of the Hawaiian Islands already know to be true, a recent Harris Poll indicates that most Americans would prefer to live in the State of Hawaii than any other state in the country; besides the state they already call home.

Over the last 3-4 years, with home prices falling and mortgage rates at all time lows, real estate investors and second home buyers have been beaconed to Hawaii’s Big Island and the world-recognized Mauna Lani Resort to take advantage of unprecedented real estate opportunities. KaMilo at Mauna Lani Resort, an authentic Hawaii neighborhood consisting of new single-family and paired homes on the Big Island’s Gold Coast, is a distinctive offering for those who seek both value for their dollar and a community and lifestyle that is representative of the unique Hawaii experience.

“There is nowhere else on Hawaii’s Gold Coast where you will find brand new homes by an award-winning builder that offers panoramic golf course views, vaulted ceilings, large square footage, and 2-car garages at these prices,” says Diana Mahaney, Realtor/Sales Associate from Island Paradise Properties LLC. “Plus, with KaMilo’s private 2-acre recreation village and the Mauna Lani Resort’s white sand beaches, historical walking trails, and access to the Kohala Coast’s natural landscape, buyers appreciate that they will access a truly unique and quality lifestyle at KaMilo.”

Over the last 8 years, California has ranked 1st in the Harris Poll as the state that Americans would most like to live in. For 2011, Hawaii has taken the reign at the top spot. “The true value in owning a home here is not only financial,” continues Mahaney. “Year round outdoor activities, access to world-class golf courses and spas, enjoying fresh local produce and dining experiences, and Hawaii’s unique cultural events; these are the life enhancing elements that buyers cherish about the our community.”

KaMilo at Mauna Lani Resort, a resort within a resort, is a private new home community of 137 single family and paired homes located along the Mauna Lani Resort’s North Golf Course. Single-level and two-story floor plans feature expansive pocket doors that open onto spacious outdoor lanais for enjoyable indoor/outdoor living. The private 2-acre Recreation Village includes adult lap pool, family pool, outdoor gathering pavilion, BBQ’s, and fitness lounge.
