Mongmong-Toto-Maite Homes for Sale

To the east of Hagåtña lies Mongmong-Toto-Maite, an area comprised of three smaller villages. Like much of Guam, Mongmong-Toto-Maite changed dramatically after World War II. Previously a farming area, after the war a U.S. Marine Supply outlet was established at Mongmong and Toto. Many people moved to the area, feeling that it would be safer to live close to the Marines after a war. Today, the parts of Maite and Toto that sit along Route 8 are an industrial area filled with stores, markets, warehouses, and more. The rest of Mongmong-Toto-Maite is more rural though, with many people living in the hills. Some of Guam’s notable families live in Maite, on the cliffs above Hagåtña.

Culturally, many people in Mongmong-Toto-Maite are Catholic and there are two fiestas held annually that draw many people from around the island. Mongmong’s patron saint is Nuestra Senora de Las Aguas, or Our Lady of the Waters. It is said that the Virgin Mary appeared to some Mongmong villagers in 1850 and protected their farm from a typhoon. A fiesta is held to honor her at the end of January. In Toto, the Immaculate Heart of Mary Church celebrates its patron saint’s fiesta in June.

Mongmong-Toto-Maite is close to Antonio B. Won Pat International airport, the main airport for civilian flights in and out of Guam. People who live in the area can see the planes flying overhead. People often choose to buy or rent a home in Mongmong-Toto-Maite in order to be close to the capital of Hagåtña and the U.S. Naval Hospital complex in Agana Heights. The only high school on the island is located at the Naval Hospital complex so schools are a consideration as well.
