The Kohala Real Estate Market Update for June 2021 is for the magnificent area located on the west coast of the Big Island of Hawaii. The Big Island received its name as to differentiate it between the State of Hawaii and the Island of Hawaii. The Kohala 
Coast is split into two areas, North Kohala and South Kohala, with North Kohala covering the more rural northern end of the island, containing the small towns of Hawi, Kapa’au and the Kohala Ranch communities.
South Kohala beginning just south of Kohala Ranch, covers the major, world class resorts of Mauna Kea, Mauna Lani, and Waikoloa Beach Resorts’, the small town of Waikoloa Village, located 6 miles inland from the resorts and Waimea, the beautiful town in the interior Waimea Valley.
