1 Reviews & Comments About Makaha
Definitely on the outside looking in. I've lived it what some would call the ghetto on the mainland. I currently live in Makaha and love it here. I drive through Nanakuli everyday on my way home. The worst part about living here is the traffic. Is there crime, well that's a stupid question, where there are people there is crime. If you come here respecting the locals you won't have much problems.
I feel safe in Makaha been here for many years with my family and we love it. You can still find plenty of Aloha from most people in Hawaii, don't judge people and live life with Love and Aloha and you will find it is usually returned.
