I am planning on going to Hawaii Pacific university or U. of Hawaii pretty soon and I was wondering if it was a better idea to buy my own house on Sunset because I'm an avid surfer and I want to surf Pipe and Sunset or get an apartment in Honolulu closer to the school......I know that beachfront houses are expensive. I'm spending $20,000+ on school tuition(minus housing b/c I don't want to live on campus) and my budget for where I'm going to live ranges from $500,000-$1 mil. No, I'm just telling you my budget so you can tell me whether I'm able to buy a beachfront house or if it's a better idea to get a house that's less expensive and more inland.
