Just a mile from downtown Honolulu, Makiki is known for its diverse, local-based community. The neighborhood features a mix of high-rise condos and single-family homes, with sweeping views of the city and a cooler climate as you move higher up the slopes of Makiki Heights. Nearby, the Makiki Valley offers a network of trails through a tropical rainforest, leading to stunning viewpoints such as Tantalus and the Pu’u ‘Ualaka’a State Wayside. For those who enjoy outdoor activities, smaller parks like Makiki District Park and Cartwright Neighborhood Park offer pools and community gardens. Ala Moana Beach, a short drive south, provides a less crowded alternative to Waikiki Beach, with a coral reef for snorkeling. The neighborhood also boasts a variety of dining and shopping options along Beretania and King streets, including Grace’s Inn for traditional Hawaiian food and Golden Pork Tonkotsu for Japanese ramen.
