ʻAhakea update — September 29, 2026: Detached GenHomes are the first phase; the second phase adds townhomes and attached FLEX homes. Older detached prices below are historical, not current offers. Confirm pricing and availability by home type. Compare the two phases.
Hoʻopili prices depend on the neighborhood, home type, and the homes available in a particular release. This guide separates advertised starting prices from homes listed for sale in our October 8, 2026 check, and explains which costs to confirm before setting a budget.

TL;DR – Ho’opili Prices at a
Glance
- The five builder community pages checked were Alana, Kāpili, Uluwehi, ʻAhakea, and Nanahea.

- ʻAhakea’s community price spans different products. Check detached homes separately from townhomes and FLEX homes.
- Affordable release eligibility and timing require a current application or announcement.
- Add the exact property’s association assessments, insurance, taxes, and financing costs to its purchase price.

Ho’opili Price
Breakdown by Neighborhood (2026)
Ho’opili isn’t one neighborhood – it’s a master-planned community
with distinct neighborhoods, each with different home types,
price points, and availability. Below is a comprehensive breakdown of
every Ho’opili neighborhood and its current status.
New-home pricing and listed inventory
Builder price and inventory snapshot: October 8, 2026; Alana status checked October 11. Advertised starting prices describe the builder’s community or plan offering. D.R. Horton labels Alana “Sold Out” (checked October 11, 2026); confirm any remaining developer homes or resales. Counts and price ranges for the other neighborhoods reflect priced homes listed on the builder’s website on October 8, excluding under-contract homes. These are dated snapshots, not guaranteed availability.
| Neighborhood | Home types | Advertised starting price | Availability (dates noted) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Alana | Multifamily condos and FLEX homes | $556,480 | D.R. Horton labels Alana “Sold Out” (checked October 11, 2026); confirm any remaining developer homes or resales. |
| Kāpili | Multifamily condos | $654,945 | 29 for sale; $700,975–$813,945 |
| Uluwehi | 1–3 bedroom condos | $487,960 | 11 for sale; $487,960–$629,460 |
| ʻAhakea | Detached condos, townhomes and attached FLEX homes | $655,965 | 13 for sale; $670,965–$810,705 across products |
| Nanahea | Detached single-family condominiums | $925,990 | 21 for sale; $1,052,610–$1,193,100 |
ʻAhakea’s advertised community entry is not a detached GenHome quote. Its first phase has detached condominium homes; the second phase has townhome and attached FLEX homes. Confirm the exact home type, price, and assessment for the unit you select.

Resale pricing: check current comparables
Use current MLS listings and closed sales for a resale comparison. The earlier examples on this page were not a live inventory feed, and an asking price is not a completed-sale price. Work with your agent to compare the same home type, size, condition, and association obligations.
Coming Soon / Future Phases
D.R. Horton releases additional phases over time. See our Lanipo guide for the early neighborhood-name report; product details, prices, location, and release timing remain unconfirmed.


Affordable
vs. Market-Rate Housing at Ho’opili
One of Ho’opili’s most significant features is its commitment to
affordable housing. D.R. Horton has reserved approximately 30% of all
Ho’opili homes for affordable housing buyers.
Affordable Housing Prices
Affordable releases have their own application, income limits, ownership requirements, and occupancy or resale restrictions. Ask D.R. Horton for a current release announcement and the applicable program documents before assuming a home is available or that your household qualifies.
Income Qualification
Requirements
Affordable releases have their own application, income limits, ownership requirements, and occupancy or resale restrictions. Ask D.R. Horton for a current release announcement and the applicable program documents before assuming a home is available or that your household qualifies.
Market-Rate Prices
Use the October 8 inventory table above for the priced homes actually listed at the time of review. Advertised community and plan prices may be lower than the cheapest listed home. The table is a dated snapshot and does not guarantee that any unit remains available.
How to Buy a
Ho’opili Home: Lottery vs. Resale
There are two primary paths to homeownership in Ho’opili. For a
complete walkthrough, see our How to Buy New
Construction in Hawai’i guide.
Path 1: New
Construction Lottery (D.R. Horton)
For a new release, register with D.R. Horton and follow the instructions for that neighborhood. Confirm whether selection is by lottery or available inventory, obtain the required lender prequalification, and review the release price sheet, deposits, deadlines, and estimated closing date. Release procedures can change.
Ask for any financing incentive in writing. Review your buyer-representation agreement for services and compensation; do not assume every purchase includes the same costs.
Path 2: Resale Market
If you miss the lottery or prefer a move-in-ready home, Ho’opili has
a growing resale market:
- No developer lottery is required for a typical resale purchase. Confirm the property’s financing eligibility and any affordable-housing restrictions.
- Move-in ready – many resale homes are only 1-5
years old and look brand new - Any lender accepted – no restriction to DHI
Mortgage - Consideration: Resale prices may be higher than
original purchase prices due to appreciation
Ho’opili HOA Fees Overview
The Hoʻopili Community Association’s 2026 budget sets the master assessment at $87.69 per lot/unit per month. Separate condominium maintenance assessments also apply to the neighborhoods below, including detached condominium homes.
These public reports give a documented starting point for budgeting. The monthly condominium figures exclude the master assessment. They are estimates for the stated budget period, not a confirmation of what a particular owner is being billed today.
| Neighborhood, budget period and source | Monthly condo estimate |
|---|---|
| Nanahea 2026 estimate; period begins March 4, 2026; DPR effective March 20, 2026 |
$60.71–$103.34 |
| Uluwehi 2026 estimate; DPR effective January 21, 2026 |
$225.08–$415.34 |
| Kāpili 2026 estimate; Amendment 1 effective February 18, 2026 |
$441.95–$693.56 |
| Alana 2026 budget estimate; Amendment 2 effective May 14, 2026 |
$325.36–$751.61 |
| ʻAhakea — detached homes Older estimate: period begins July 24, 2025; DPR effective October 1, 2025 |
$60.31–$68.33 |
| ʻAhakea — multifamily homes Older estimate: period begins July 24, 2025; DPR effective October 1, 2025 |
$427.46–$675.07 |
The five neighborhood filings also list a $10 per unit monthly meter-reading and billing charge, with unit water and sewer usage billed separately. For Nanahea, adding its 2026 condo estimate, the master assessment, and the meter charge gives $158.40–$201.03 per month before water and sewer usage. This is a calculation from the published figures, not an all-inclusive ownership cost or current unit bill.
ʻAhakea’s figures above come from an older budget period; request its current assessment before comparing it with the 2026 estimates. For every home, confirm the unit’s current statement, any special assessments, insurance obligations, and when owner billing begins. Developer-paid common expenses can temporarily affect what is charged. See the Hoʻopili HOA guide for association background; use the dated source documents here for these figures.
Ho’opili Price Trends and
Appreciation
To assess appreciation, compare recorded sales for similar homes over a defined period. Builder release prices, current asking prices, and closed resale prices are different measures. Rail access and future amenities may influence buyer demand, but neither guarantees a particular price increase.
What’s Included in a Ho’opili
Home?
D.R. Horton’s Ho’opili homes come with standard features that set
them apart from older O’ahu housing stock:
- Split A/C – Air conditioning standard in all
units - Solar – Solar systems for energy savings
- Solar water heater – Standard in most models
- Modern finishes – Quartz/granite countertops,
modern cabinetry - Smart home features – Connected devices in newer
phases - Parking – 1-3 stalls depending on home type
(garages in single-family) - Front yard landscaping – Included in single-family
homes - Full appliance package – Included
- 10-year structural warranty – Plus 1-year
bumper-to-bumper warranty
Ho’opili vs. Other O’ahu
Developments
Compare like-for-like home types and dated offers. Lau Leʻa’s advertised market-rate entry is below Uluwehi’s advertised entry; that does not compare equivalent sizes or establish available stock. For detached homes, check the Nanahea inventory snapshot and Nanea III’s current status rather than reusing older starting prices. Mau Loa remains coming soon.
Location, floor plan, included features, association costs, and financing can matter as much as the headline price. See our Hoʻopili vs. Koa Ridge comparison for community context; confirm all dated prices against current sales documents.

Confirm whether selection is by lottery or available inventory, obtain the required lender prequalification, and review the release price sheet, deposits, deadlines, and estimated closing date.

Is Ho’opili a good
