In Hawaiian, ‘maka kilo’ means “observing eyes” and when you’re in the Makakilo area of Oahu, you understand just how fitting that name is. In Ancient Hawaii, Pu’u Makakilo was a place for Kahuna to observe the sky, sun, and stars for signs and messages from the Gods. These Waianae mountain slopes are full of history.
Although the first construction of homes began at the bottom of the Makakilo area in the 1960s, we’ve seen the growth of some great neighborhoods in the 2000s, heading up the hillside.
Today in Makakilo, some of the most sought-after, newer homes tend to be in neighborhoods like Kahiwelo. In Kahiwelo, it’s possible to get more sizable homes and larger lots. This gives homeowners more opportunity for outdoor recreation and the ability to own larger properties. Homeowners enjoy having more space between neighbors without sacrificing the close-knit vibe of community. Importantly, ask any resident which features they enjoy most living in Makakilo and chances are high that the elevation, cooler temperatures, and breezes make the list.

Kahiwelo = Location
One of the big advantages of living in Makakilo is the location. It’s just a short drive to Kapolei, Oahu’s ‘Second City’. Homeowners have the ability to easily pop into Home Depot, Walmart and a plethora of stores, shops and restaurants. Not far from the highway, military bases and hospitals, many find Makakilo neighborhoods to be a great choice. A good deal of folks desire to live above the hustle and bustle, nestled in the hills. Because of this, many have found Kahiwelo offers that lifestyle, while remaining close enough to the action of the city below.
