Section 1, located between Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park and the Puna District, is a rural and forested Fern Forest neighborhood with lava-rock lots and a canopy of ʻōhiʻa and hapuʻu ferns. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Highway 11 corridor near the Fern Forest Road junction, where small roadside stands, mailboxes, and service pull-offs set a practical, off-the-grid rhythm. Homes tend toward modest cabins and single-story builds tucked into dense greenery, with long driveways and minimal street lighting. Rainy afternoons and birdsong shape daily routines, and the air often carries a cool, upland feel. Weekend errands and casual meetups orbit local stops such as Kilauea Lodge, Volcano Garden Arts, and the Volcano Art Center.
