About Punchbowl
See our video of Punchbowl homes.

Punchbowl homes have the very enviable location just behind the prime sections of Honolulu, mauka of both the city's modern and historical centers. One thing that needs to be understood first, however, is that there are 2 sections that make up the whole, Upper and Lower Punchbowl.

Lower Punchbowl takes in the properties hugging the base of the volcanic cone, especially the eastern side, where it runs into Makiki. At certain points, those two neighborhoods blur together so either or both labels are sometimes applied to the same place.
