Why Live in Hilo

Hilo, located on the east side of Hawaii's Big Island, is a town with about 45,000 residents. Known for its quieter atmosphere compared to the west coast, Hilo attracts visitors to its historic downtown and natural attractions like the Lili’uokalani Gardens and Rainbow Falls in Wailuku River State Park. The town experiences significant rainfall, contributing to its lush rainforests and gardens. Hilo’s climate is marked by gray skies and an annual rainfall of approximately 125 inches, making it the wettest city in the United States. The town's architecture includes many pre-World War II plantation-style homes with wide-hipped roofs and covered lanais, alongside newer homes built from the 1980s onward.
