A mid-rise retreat in the heart of Makiki
Maunaihi Terrace, an 11-story condominium building completed in 1974, stands as a familiar fixture in the vibrant Makiki neighborhood. With 74 units, this residential complex offers a blend of urban convenience and community living. The building's location on the slopes of Punchbowl provides residents with sweeping views of the Honolulu cityscape and glimpses of the Pacific Ocean beyond. Situated in a peaceful and quiet area, Maunaihi Terrace serves as a comfortable home base for those seeking a balance between city accessibility and residential tranquility.
Versatile layouts with panoramic views
Maunaihi Terrace offers a range of floor plans to suit various lifestyles, from cozy one-bedroom units to spacious three-bedroom homes. The one-bedroom layouts span from 586 to 691 square feet, providing efficient living spaces with sale prices ranging from $370,000 to $375,000. These units typically feature one bathroom and are ideal for singles or couples looking for a compact city dwelling.
The two-bedroom units, measuring between 647 and 700 square feet, offer a bit more space and flexibility, with sale prices from $395,000 to $399,000. These apartments also come with one bathroom and are well-suited for small families or those who desire an extra room for a home office or guest accommodation.
For those requiring more space, the three-bedroom units are generously sized at approximately 1,800 square feet and include two bathrooms. These larger apartments are perfect for families or individuals who appreciate expansive living areas.
Many units in Maunaihi Terrace have been updated over the years, featuring modern touches such as vinyl plank flooring, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances. The building's design takes full advantage of its elevated position, with many apartments boasting floor-to-ceiling windows that frame stunning views of Diamond Head, the ocean, or the city skyline. Lanais (balconies) are a common feature, providing outdoor space to enjoy the Hawaiian breeze and scenic vistas.
Storage is a notable asset in Maunaihi Terrace, with many units offering extra storage closets within the apartment and additional storage lockers in the basement. Air conditioning units in bedrooms and living areas ensure comfort during warmer months, while the building's orientation often allows for cooling cross-breezes. Some units come with the convenience of in-unit washers and dryers, while others utilize the building's community laundry facilities.
Comfort and convenience for everyday living
Maunaihi Terrace offers a selection of amenities designed to enhance residents' daily lives. The centerpiece is a spacious swimming pool, perfect for refreshing dips or leisurely swims. Surrounding the pool is an expansive deck area that doubles as an observation platform, providing breathtaking views of the city and ocean – an ideal spot for sunbathing or enjoying a quiet moment.
For social gatherings and community events, the building features a large recreation room. This versatile space can accommodate various activities and serves as a hub for resident interactions. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the BBQ area, which offers a perfect setting for grilling and dining al fresco while taking in the scenic surroundings.
Parking, often a premium in urban Honolulu, is well-accommodated at Maunaihi Terrace. The building provides secured garage parking for residents, with some units allocated two parking spaces – a rare find in the area. For visitors, there are six guest parking stalls conveniently located in front of the building, alleviating the stress of finding street parking for friends and family.
Security is a priority at Maunaihi Terrace, with features such as secured entry to the building and parking areas. The presence of an on-site resident manager ensures that day-to-day operations run smoothly and that residents have a point of contact for any concerns or maintenance needs.
Additional conveniences include a community laundry facility for units without in-unit laundry, and extra storage options in the basement, allowing residents to maximize their living spaces.
Urban convenience meets neighborhood charm
Maunaihi Terrace is situated in the diverse and vibrant neighborhood of Makiki, known for its mix of long-term residents and proximity to downtown Honolulu. This area offers a unique blend of urban amenities and residential calm, making it an attractive location for a wide range of residents.
The neighborhood is dotted with parks that provide green spaces for recreation and relaxation. Makiki District Park, about a 20-minute walk from Maunaihi Terrace, is a community hub featuring sports fields, an outdoor pool, and community gardens. For those seeking a quick outdoor respite, Dole Community Park is just a 10-minute walk away, offering basketball courts, a playground, and picnic areas.
Education is well-represented in the area, with several highly-rated schools within easy reach. President Abraham Lincoln Elementary School, boasting an 8 out of 10 rating from GreatSchools and a B+ from Niche, is less than a mile away. Robert Louis Stevenson Middle School and President Theodore Roosevelt High School are also nearby, both receiving solid ratings and offering quality educational options for families.
Shopping and dining options abound in the vicinity. The nearest supermarket, Safeway, is about a 20-minute walk or a short drive away, providing convenient access to groceries and everyday essentials. For a wider range of shopping options, Ala Moana Center – the world's largest open-air shopping mall – is just a short drive away, offering an extensive selection of retail stores, restaurants, and entertainment options.
Local dining scene caters to various tastes and budgets. Fast-food options like McDonald's and Jack in the Box are within walking distance for quick meals. For those seeking more diverse culinary experiences, the neighborhood and surrounding areas offer a range of options from casual eateries to more upscale dining establishments.
While Makiki itself is primarily residential, its central location means that many of Honolulu's attractions are easily accessible. The historic downtown Honolulu area, home to government buildings, business districts, and cultural sites, is also within easy reach.
Connected living with multiple transit options
Maunaihi Terrace's location in Makiki offers residents a variety of transportation options, balancing the convenience of personal vehicles with the accessibility of public transit. The neighborhood's layout and infrastructure support multiple modes of getting around, catering to different preferences and needs.
For those who rely on public transportation, the area is well-served by Honolulu's bus system, TheBus. Two bus stops are within a five-minute walk from the building. The Prospect St & Magazine St stop, served by the Papakolea-Pacific Heights line, and the Thurston Ave & Magazine St stop, on the Nuuanu-Punahou-Mccully route, provide easy access to various parts of the city. These bus lines connect residents to key areas such as downtown Honolulu, Ala Moana Center, and the University of Hawaii at Manoa.
The neighborhood's relatively flat terrain in the lower areas makes it conducive to walking for daily errands and short trips. Many local amenities, including parks, schools, and some shops, are within walking distance. However, the hilly nature of some parts of Makiki may present challenges for longer walks or cycling, particularly for those living in the higher elevations.
For residents who prefer to drive, Maunaihi Terrace's location offers easy access to major thoroughfares. This proximity is particularly beneficial for commuters working in downtown Honolulu or other business districts. The building's secured parking facilities, including the rare amenity of two parking spaces for some units, make car ownership convenient for residents.
Cycling enthusiasts will find some bike-friendly routes in the area, though the overall infrastructure for cyclists is still developing.
For air travel, Daniel K. Inouye International Airport is approximately a 15-minute drive away, making it convenient for residents who frequently travel for business or leisure. The relatively short distance to the airport is a significant advantage for those who value easy access to air transportation.
While the area's transit options provide good connectivity, residents often find that a combination of transportation methods – such as using a car for longer trips and walking or taking the bus for shorter distances – offers the most flexibility in navigating urban Honolulu life.
