I was googling around the internet recently using search terms suitable for properties here in Hawaii. Then I came across some interesting listings. Someone in Mississippi decided to name a town after Hawaii's most famous landmark, Diamond Head!
Even more interesting, the streets in Diamondhead Mississippi have Hawaiian names as well!
Examples are: Hilo Way; Analii Street; Ahia Court; Kaimuki Court; Mahalo Hui Drive; Kapalama Drive; Ala Moana Street; Kahana Street; Maili Way; Maunalani Place; Molokai Village and Lanai Village. I guess when Diamondhead Mississippi residents visit Hawaii they have an easier time pronouncing our street names!
Check it out on Google Maps.
The people who named these streets picked good ones from some of our top neighborhoods In Hawaii:
Analii Street is in Waialae Iki.
Kaimuki is a neighborhood near Diamond Head.
Maili Way is in Manoa, near the University of Hawaii campus.
A search of Activerain found one member that sells homes at Diamondhead Mississippi, Tricia Cash.
I checked some listings and found Diamondhead Mississippi real estate costs a fraction of what Diamond Head Hawaii real estate goes for. I'll keep that in mind, should I know of some Hawaii residents who decide on a move to Mississippi.

Hi Mike. Oddly Diamond Head is called Leahi by some but it is really Lea'ahi. Aloha, Lana
