Tantalus homes for sale

Located above Makiki Heights, Tantalus is a neighborhood accessed by a  looping road known as Roundtop Drive.  The transition from downtown Honolulu to a quiet rainforest with beautiful singing birds, guava trees and views of Diamond Head is breathtaking and sudden.

This is a favorite area for people who enjoy views of the city lights and quiet evenings at home.  Not far from the lookout area is Pu'u Ualaka'a Park.  One can see for miles from east to west at this location.  Tantalus also has some great trails for walking and running.

Tantalus is a small neighborhood whose population is less than 1,000 people.  The area was originally established by wealthy Honoluluans wanting homes on the cool hillsides.

Tantalus information and history

Mount Tantalus' peak reaches to 2,004 feet above sea level.  Tantalus Drive and Round Top Drive connect together to make a long road through the neighborhood.  On the west side of the loop, Tantalus Drive also connects to Mott Smith Drive and then Makiki Heights Drive to get back down to Makiki Street.

The roadway has been placed on the state Register of Historic Places in an effort to preserve its original character.  The roadway was constructed in the early 1900's and was paved in 1937.  The entire loop measures 10 miles.  Tantalus Drive and Roundtop Drive are a favorite Makiki Heights and Manoa.
