Why Live in Pahoa

Pahoa, Hawaii, is a rural town on the southeastern coast of the Big Island where lush tropical scenery meets stretches of black lava rock, giving the area a distinct “old Hawaii” feel that longtime residents say has changed little over generations. The community includes the town center and nearby residential areas such as Hawaiian Beaches, Nanawale Estates, Ainaloa, Leilani Estates and Seaview, with housing that ranges from midcentury ranch-style homes and recently built contemporary properties to seaside bungalows, some with broad coastal and mountain views. Roads are generally narrow, quiet and rural. Pahoa sits in an active volcanic zone, and the 2018 eruption destroyed homes and roads, especially in Leilani Estates, leaving some residents still displaced and contributing to the perception of higher risk. Outdoor attractions are a major part of daily life, with Pahoa District Park’s ball fields, skate park and Pahoa Aquatic Center pool, the lava-formed trunks at Lava Tree State Monument, and coastal viewpoints at Waiakahiula Beach Park, Lighthouse Beach and MacKenzie State Recreation Area. Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park, about 30 miles away, showcases Kilauea and Mauna Loa. Downtown Pahoa has several well-known dining spots, including award-winning Kaleo’s Bar & Grill, Pele’s Kitchen and Black Rock Café, along with Island Naturals Market & Deli and Malama Market for groceries, while residents typically drive to Hilo, about 19 miles away, for big-box shopping, the airport and hospital services.
