About Makawao

A town of just over 6,000 residents, Makawao, Hawaii, is located slightly inland on the island of Maui in an area residents refer to as "upcountry." The elevation is higher here, and temperatures are generally about five degrees lower on average than temperatures at sea level, making it a perfect spot for those seeking a house for rent or an apartment for rent who prefer cooler temperatures. The town lies on the border with a rain forest. Though small, the town is lively, offering plenty to see and do on the slopes of Mount Haleakala. Art galleries are scattered throughout, Piiholo Ranch offers horseback riding, and Hui No'eau Visual Arts Center and the Garden of Eden Arboretum are major draws. Those seeking a house for rent or an apartment for rent here will find Eddie Tam Memorial Center within town and Pukalani Country Club nearby. The closest hospital is just about 10 miles away in Kula. Two elementary, an intermediate school, and Kekaulike High School serve the area, in addition to Montessori and Catholic grade schools and the private Seabury Hall high school.
