You’re witnessing the infant stages of a community imagined. The Hoopili development is 11,750 master plan community by one of Hawaii’s most trusted developers, D.R. Horton Hawaii. The community aims to put a sizable dent in the housing supply problem that’s plagued the Oahu Real Estate market for years, with home types and sizes to fit nearly every household.

The City | Living In Ewa Beach
Ewa Beach will see a consistent offering of Hoopili homes for sale year after year until the completion of the master plan. Located on the west side of Oahu, Hoopili will serve as a bridge between the thriving communities of
Ewa Beach and
Kapolei, bringing with it a wide array of affordable housing opportunities, condominiums, townhomes, single-family and multi-family homes, as well as mixed-use "flex homes" to choose from.
Ewa Beach and Kapolei real estate has seen a significant uptick in development over the last decade, both in the residential and commercial retail sector with the emergence of other new neighborhoods like Mehana at Kapolei, the resort community of Hoakalei, Kealii by Gentry, and even new Hawaiian Homelands Properties. The most notable commercial retail addition is
Ka Makana Ali'i Mall.
Where is Ho’opili, Hawaii?
The shopping center brings a welcomed assortment of new restaurants, shopping, and entertainment opportunities to the growing neighborhood and is a mere stone’s throw south of the Hoopili development. With a burgeoning array of dining, shopping, and entertainment opportunities, Ewa/Kapolei residents are truly starting to see an “eat, work, play” environment come to life with the majority of options being only a stroll or bike ride away. Let’s not forget the beach! You’re only minutes from White Plains surfing beach and should you wish to venture into the city, take the rail! (eventually). Hoopili station will be the genesis of the Honolulu Rail Station and will offer a new, convenient way to travel to Honolulu Airport and Metro Honolulu.
Proximity to Oahu Military Bases
Like Ewa Beach and Kapolei, Ho’opili has proven to be a top pick amongst Oahu’s military personnel looking to use their Hawaii BAH towards a new home purchase as the neighborhood offers some of the best bang for your buck on Oahu. If you’re PCS’ing to Schofield Barracks Army Base Hawaii, be sure not to overlook Ho’opili when looking for a place to park your Honolulu BAH. The only neighborhood on the island with Oahu's new homes that’s closer to Schofield would be
Koa Ridge in Waipio Gentry. To learn more about your new Oahu Military Base, check out our
Schofield Barracks Ultimate PCS Guide.
The Neighborhood | Lifestyle, Amenities, and What to Expect
The vision of Ho’opili is truly to bring the intangibles of “community” to this young neighborhood. “Home” can transcend your four walls and that’s accomplished through an excellent set of amenities, gathering spaces, and great neighbors. Consisting of roughly 1,600 acres, the development aims to provide a dynamic display of community activity spaces through 7 recreation centers with pools, multiple green spaces, playgrounds, wide sidewalks for pedestrian traffic, and even a community garden. The master plan provides for five brand new schools as well as bringing grocery stores, restaurants, and entertainment on-site for added convenience.
Ho’opili FLEX Homes scattered through the neighborhood will provide unique “Live / Work” dynamics to some residents as they allow business operation on the ground level of the structure with living units above. Not only will this promote entrepreneurship and economy within the neighborhood, but we may also see retail storefronts and cafes that the entire neighborhood can benefit from!
So is it Hoopili Kapolei or Hoopili Ewa Beach?
We think it’s both! The lines are starting to get a little blurry as Ho’opili nearly joins the Kapolei & Ewa Beach regions together but if we’re talking facts here, Ho’opili currently flies the Ewa Beach flag with the 96706 zip code, despite being a stone’s throw from being in the Kapolei 96707 zip code. With Kapolei having long been pinned as Oahu’s “Second City,” Ho’opili will play a big role in Kapolei being able to claim a “Metro” role once and for all. Ho’opili is poised to one day receive its zip and may over time see itself become the focal point of the Ewa Beach & Kapolei Region at large.
Ho’opili Rail Stations | Honolulu Authority for Rapid Transit

If you know Kapolei & Ewa Beach then you know the traffic. Especially if you’re commuting to Metro Honolulu. However, if you’re a lucky Ho’opili resident, you’ll soon be one of the first beneficiaries of commuting by light rail! Flip on the nightly news every once in a while and you have undoubtedly been subjected to the controversy surrounding the Honolulu Rail and the talk of it being vastly over budget, way behind schedule, and beneficial to few. Fortunately, Ho’opili residents are that FEW!
Not only does Ho’opili have 3 of the 21 planned Honolulu Rail Authority Transit stations, it also benefits from having the very first to be completed, and we are starting to see the rail cars performing practice runs as of late 2019. With the first Ho’opili Rail Station rumored to open as early as Q1 2020, the region will soon have access to long-overdue alternative means of transportation through Oahu’s busiest 20-mile-long corridor from Kapolei to Ala Moana Center.
Check out the HART website for more information about the estimated completion for the rail, and approximate travel times from Hoopili to Kakaako and Ala Moana.
Ho’opili Rail Stations & Ride Time to Ala Moana
- Kualaka’i Station 1 | East Kapolei | in front of the Kroc Center | 42 Minutes
- Keone’ae Station 2 | UH West Oahu | 40 Minutes
- Honouliuli Station 3 | Ho’opili | 36 Minutes

Looking at some of the renderings, you get a conceptual sense of the community that Ho’opili hopes to be in its maturity. Wide, pedestrian, and bike-friendly sidewalks thread the neighborhood providing walkability to the neighborhood's future planned retail, grocery stores, parks, and rail stations. These are all elements of a growing urban planning trend called “Transit Oriented Developments,” or “TODs” for short, to create vibrant, livable sustainable communities centered around mass transit stations to make it possible for lower-stress lifestyles without complete dependence on cars for transportation and survival.
Types of Homes | Townhomes/Condos, Lofts, Single & Multi-family, Flex Homes
The Ho’opili development prides itself on being able to offer something to almost all buyer profiles. Young professionals looking for starter homes will see Honolulu affordable housing options available to them as well as entry-level townhouse options. Hoopili affordable housing purchasers must be deemed eligible under the Honolulu Affordable Housing guidelines as set forth by the HHFDC; the State’s overseeing agency for affordable housing development. To learn more about the program, see the FAQs Here.
Families of all sizes will see small to large townhouse options, lofts, entry-level single-family homes, extended family options featuring Hoopili ADU homes (Accessory Dwelling Units), and even mixed-use “FLEX” style homes providing the unique ability to run your small business from home!
Most single and multi-family home options will feature two-car garages and some townhouse options will offer garages as well. Single and two-story floor plans will be available, and most Hoopili lot sizes being governed as R-3.5 you will see a minimum lot size of 3.500sq although the majority should be in the low 4,000sqft range.
Interiors | Finishings, Appliances, & Packages
Expect to see modern interiors with several flooring, cabinet, and countertop schemes to choose from. Most homes will be inclusive of but not limited to the interior features listed below and many features will be standard items per most plan types, but be sure to inquire with your sales agent to verify. Affordable Housing interior options will be more limited:
- Split air conditioning

Previous Phases | Sold out, but may now offer resale homes.
With the Ho’opili project roughly 7 years into its 20-year master plan, we are now starting to see some of the original owners reselling their homes. We always encourage buyers to take a peek at the resale market as you may find a suitable home that may be only 1-3 years old and slightly lived-in.
If you’re interested in also receiving updates on resale homes in the neighborhood, let us know in the comment section of the interest list below.
