 Diamon Head is one of Hawaii’s most prolific icons and graces the island of Oahu’s south shore.  Known to Native Hawaiians as Leahi, the volcanic tuff cone received its current name after British sailors noted calcite crystals embedded in the mountainside and mistook them for diamonds.  Part of the Koolau Volcanic eruptions that created the eastern half of Oahu, Diamond Head today is a defining feature of the Waikiki shoreline and is preserved as a United States Monument.  A number of pieces of prime Diamond Head real estate takes advantage of this natural beauty, making for an immeasurable island living experience.  As a Hawaii vacation home to many, Diamond Head has become one of the most popular second home vacation destinations in the state. No where else in the world can one climb dried out mountain cliffs, swim in the warm blue seas, sun on sandy beaches, and explore green forests within such a small area.  Diamond Head, one of the most recognizable places in Hawaii, truly graces the sights of Hawaii with its beauty and prestige.  The unusually high property values in the area promote a unique local culture and an active lifestyle.  Because many homes go uninhabited for large parts of the year, the streets are especially quiet as well.
