Located on the East side of the
island in the Puna District less than 15 miles south of Hilo, Mountain view
and Kurtistown are good communities with many limited services
available. There are some shops,
gas stations, and a small grocery store. The landscape is a gradual slope and the rainfall is good
for flower farms and fruit farms that can be seen all around Puna.

The air quality in Mountain
View and Kurtistown can be voggy (volcano fog) if the wind blows to the
north rather than normally blowing west. When the wind does blow the vog toward these towns, the
smoke will blanket the area and great reduce visibility. However this is not usually the
case.

The area does not provide any
interest to tourists and they pass though the area. The subdivisions that surround
these communities are nice but some of the neighborhoods may not be as nice
as others. Road quality
conditions in these subdivisions are varied. This area is very
|
close to the Pu’u O’o Vent, which
is an active vent on Kilauea volcano.
Lava does flow from this vent south towards the sea and away from
these towns.
The real estate market in
Mountain View and Kurtistown is less expensive compared to the rest of the
island. The cost of living is
very affordable. The area is
very popular because of the cooler temperatures, cost, and its proximity to
Hilo. The availability of
property is good. The prices are
low and there is plenty to buy.
The prices have climbed great deal in the past few years.
