Sunset View Terrace offers a unique blend of established charm, breathtaking scenery, and an unbeatable location. With its origins dating back to the early 1960s when the first lots were sold, this neighborhood boasts a rich history and a strong sense of community, with many second and third-generation owners still calling it home.
This region was once the home of
Kamehameha I, the unifier of the Hawaiian Islands, who later made Kailua-Kona his capital. By the late 1800s, like much of Hawaii, Kona was characterized by plantations and farms, with its coffee gaining world renown. The post-WWII tourism boom opened Kona to global travelers, spurring development that, while significant, never reached the scale seen on Oahu. That has preserved its enduring appeal as a place to live, visit, and invest.
