188 HALE ST, Hilo, HI 96720

Looking to step into the Hilo market with something low-maintenance, affordable, and centrally located? This move-in ready 3 bed, 1.5 bath townhome offers 1,055 sf of living space and exceptional value. The updated kitchen features quartz counters and stainless appliances, including a gas range and a new microwave with hood. No shared laundry here, as the unit has its own interior washer/dryer with extra storage, plus a half bath downstairs for guests. Upstairs are three bedrooms with louvered windows looking south over Halai Hill, along with a full bathroom. The property borders State land to the north, with the peaceful sounds of the Wailuku River right next door. Your assigned parking space is right next to the building, and there is plenty of guest parking. The private patio is perfect for entertaining friends and has room to park your bikes, which you may use more than the car. This is one of the rare places in town where a car is optional, with schools, library, groceries, the Downtown farmers market, and beaches all within walking distance. The well-kept community has a reasonable HOA fee of $550, covering county water, gas, sewer, rubbish collection, common area maintenance, exterior insurance, and on-site management.
