For those of you who are shaking your heads and wondering what is this all about, the Big Island, the largest island in the chain, has a real name, Hawaii. If you don’t think this is confusing for even the 175,784 inhabitants of this 4028 square mile island, guess again.
Personally I relate quite well to this confusion as I have lived my entire life with a nickname and even the other day my neighbor returned an email from me that contained my legal name.
But this may or may not be an issue for you, wherever you are, wondering if “Hawaii”, which can be any of at least six islands in the chain, is the place for you or is it the “Big Island”. Keep in mind, this “Big Island” of ours is really big….there are seven districts, multiple towns and subdivisions, plus eleven out of the thirteen climate zones on earth, more than forty public schools and more and more. Now if you want to compare it to the island of Maui with 727.3 square miles or the Island of Oahu with 597 square miles or the island of Kauai with 69 square miles, you will just begin to understand the magnitude of this island we call home.
Next blog let’s talk about how many miles of coastline, elevations and more, so you can really start to know the difference between “Hawaii” and the “Big Island”, so your search for Hawaii Real Estate and Big Island Real Estate will be easier.
