With 2015 over, it’s time for the year-end report on what’s been selling and what’s for sale in the year ahead. The Makawao region includes the towns of Makawao, Haliimaile, and the surrounding area in between, Baldwin Avenue above Paia, and also Olinda, which lies above Makawao town proper.
There’s a real country feeling in the Makawao area, and the small town vibe is still very alive. It’s easy to raise cattle and horses here, and not unusual to see a cowboy riding through town. This is where Maui’s rodeo events and polo games are held each year. So if you’re part of the horsey crowd, you’ll find yourself loving life in Makawao.
