Makakilo Real Estate & Homes for Sale

Makakilo homes on the hillside of Oahu

Why Buyers Love Living in Makakilo

Located above Kapolei on the west side of Oʻahu, Makakilo offers hillside living with panoramic views, cooler temperatures, and a quiet neighborhood feel. It’s a hidden gem for families, military relocations, and anyone who values a breezy, elevated location. If you're relocating to the island, here's what to know when moving to Hawaii.

Makakilo is made up of several subdivisions, from older single-family homes to newer gated communities. Many homes here feature ocean or mountain views and are still relatively affordable compared to East Oʻahu.

As a real estate agent who lives and works on the west side, I know Makakilo inside and out—and I’d love to help you find the right fit.
