Hoʻopili Homes for Sale: Every Neighborhood Compared
What neighborhoods are currently selling in Hoʻopili?
Hoʻopili has five active neighborhoods this fall: Uluwehi and Alana at Pohaku Estates (condos), Kapili (townhomes), ʻAhakea (detached single-family homes), and Nanahea (the newest single-family release). Prices range from the high $500,000s to over $1 million, and the gap between the least expensive and most expensive option is close to half a million dollars. Kapili currently offers the best value per square foot, while the smallest condo units actually cost the most per square foot.

Hoʻopili keeps showing up in Oʻahu real estate searches for a reason — it's the largest active new-construction community on the west side, and it releases new inventory almost every month. Right now there isn't just one option selling here. There are five, and the price difference between the least expensive and the most expensive is close to half a million dollars.
If you're trying to figure out where you'd actually fit in this community — a condo, a townhome, or a detached single-family home — here's the breakdown, straight from a walkthrough of what's available as of this fall.
This matters most if you're relocating to Oʻahu — whether that's a military move, a first home purchase, or bringing your family somewhere with rail and shopping access instead of a long commute. Hoʻopili is one of the few Oʻahu communities where you can still buy brand new, with a builder warranty, instead of competing over 20- to 30-year-old resale inventory.
Why Hoʻopili Keeps Coming Up in Your Search
Hoʻopili is a master-planned community built by D.R. Horton on the border of ʻEwa Beach and Kapolei. It's been in development since around 2018, and the builder is only about a third of the way through a planned 12,000 homes — this project has another 10 to 15 years of new releases ahead of it.
A few things set it apart from older resale neighborhoods nearby:
- The rail station connects Hoʻopili to Pearl Harbor, the airport, and eventually all the way to Ala Moana. It's already getting used — parking lots are full, and even middle and high schoolers are riding it to school.
- Ka Makana Aliʻi — with Foodland Farms, Costco, Target, Home Depot, and Walmart — is five to ten minutes away.
- The community association fee (currently $88 a month) covers a pool, multiple community centers, playgrounds, tennis courts, and a dog park, with a new urban garden about to open — on top of whatever fee applies to your specific neighborhood.
- The builder has its own in-house lender, DHI Mortgage, which can offer rate programs other builders on the island can't set on their own — worth asking about, though you'll want to confirm any specific rate with a lender directly before counting on it.
That last point matters because it changes how you should shop here. New releases come out consistently, so if a floor plan you want isn't available today, it's worth checking back within a few weeks — and it's worth asking what incentives the builder will offer on homes that have been sitting a while.
What Each Hoʻopili Neighborhood Actually Costs Right Now
Hoʻopili currently has five active products, and they land in very different price brackets and lifestyles.
Uluwehi (Condos)
Uluwehi is the smallest-footprint option — 8 floor plans ranging from 572 to 1,056 square feet, in one- and two-story layouts. As of this fall, a 591-square-foot one-bedroom runs about $529,000, and the largest, a 928-square-foot two-bedroom, lists around $610,000. HOA runs about $367 a month on top of the $88 community fee. Watch the full Uluwehi breakdown at 5:45. This is a fit for most buyers who need three bedrooms or less — first-time buyers, downsizers, or anyone who wants ground-floor pet access without condo-tower living.
Alana at Pohaku Estates (Condos)
Alana is the smaller sister community across the freeway, with one-, two-, and three-bedroom units. It's also nearly sold out — as of filming, only one unit remained, a 648-square-foot one-bedroom listed at $556,480, with a total HOA of $413 a month. When a builder is down to their last unit in a project, that's usually the moment to ask what they're willing to negotiate to close it out.
Kapili (Townhomes)
Kapili is built for people who want a yard and a garage without condo-tower access. It's 300 units across 1-, 2-, and 3-story buildings, with 2- and 3-bedroom plans and — notably — 2 parking stalls per unit plus guest parking, which most of the other Hoʻopili condo products don't offer. Pricing starts around $635,000 for a 971-square-foot two-bedroom and tops out near $818,000 for a 1,400-square-foot three-bedroom. HOA runs higher here, around $693 a month plus the community fee, but that also covers garage insurance and more shared infrastructure per building.
ʻAhakea (Detached Homes)
ʻAhakea is where the math changes: these homes are legally structured as a shared community (a CPR, or condominium property regime) but built fully detached — meaning you can add solar, install an EV charger, and generally live like it's a standalone house. Four 2-story plans range from 880 to 990 square feet, priced from about $786,000, with a modest $66 monthly neighborhood fee. See what ʻAhakea looks like inside at 11:30.
Nanahea (New Single-Family Release)
Nanahea is the newest release, and the one generating the most buzz — Hoʻopili hadn't released new single-family inventory in about a year and a half before this, so there's real pent-up demand. Six floor plans range from 1,092 to 1,859 square feet, all with a 2-car garage pre-wired for solar and EV charging (one plan, the ʻIwa, comes with a 1-car garage plus a carport instead). Buyers here are required to be owner-occupants — this isn't zoned for investor flips. Pricing has already moved: homes released in May started around $926,000, and the July release started closer to $1,032,000. Hear how that price jump plays out for early buyers at 13:00.
If you're trying to figure out which of these five actually fits your budget and your life — condo, townhome, or detached — that's exactly the kind of conversation worth having before you start touring. Book a free 15-minute call and we'll walk through the numbers together.
The Price-Per-Square-Foot Surprise
Here's the part that surprises most buyers: the smallest units aren't the cheapest per square foot. They're the most expensive.
Uluwehi's one-bedroom units run about $896 per square foot — the highest of any product in Hoʻopili right now. The larger Uluwehi two-bedrooms come down to around $658 per square foot. ʻAhakea runs about $822 per square foot, and Alana is close behind at $859. Nanahea's larger homes land around $633–644 per square foot.
The best value per square foot in the entire community, as of this fall, is Kapili — at roughly $593 per square foot. Watch the full price-per-square-foot comparison at 16:30.
What that means practically: if you're chasing the lowest sticker price, you'll gravitate toward the smallest condo units — but you'll pay more for every square foot you get. If you're chasing the most space for your money, a townhome like Kapili is worth a serious look even though the list price is higher.
Quick recap of where things stand as of this fall:
- Uluwehi (condo): $529K–$610K, HOA ~$455/mo total
- Alana at Pohaku Estates (condo): last unit at $556,480, HOA ~$413/mo total — nearly sold out
- Kapili (townhome): $635K–$818K, best value per square foot at ~$593/sq ft
- ʻAhakea (detached): from $786K, lowest neighborhood fee at $66/mo
- Nanahea (new single-family): from ~$1,032K as of the July release, 2-car garage, owner-occupant required
Hoʻopili moves fast — new releases come out every few weeks, and pricing tends to only go up as each phase sells through.
