Ho'opili is one of Oahu's largest master-planned communities, with over a dozen distinct neighborhoods (or "villages") being developed by D.R. Horton across approximately 1,600 acres in Ewa Beach. Each neighborhood offers different home types, price points, and lifestyles. Here's your complete guide to Ho'opili's neighborhoods in 2026.

How Ho'opili Is Organized

Unlike older subdivisions with a single home style, Ho'opili is built as a collection of villages, each with its own character. The community is designed as a transit-oriented development (TOD) centered around the Honolulu Skyline rail stations, with neighborhoods radiating outward from mixed-use centers. The full buildout will include approximately 11,750 homes over a 20-year development timeline.

Single-Family Neighborhoods

Kanalani

One of Ho'opili's established single-family neighborhoods, Kanalani features 3 to 4-bedroom homes ranging from approximately 1,219 to 1,996 square feet. Some floor plans include an ADU (accessory dwelling unit) option, making this an attractive choice for multigenerational families or those seeking rental income potential. Homes in Kanalani are typically priced around the $1 million range.

Ikena

Ikena offers modern single-family homes with open-concept living spaces. This neighborhood also features an ADU home option, giving buyers flexibility for extended family or rental use. The contemporary designs reflect Ho'opili's focus on functional, modern Hawaii living.

Ho'oulu

Ho'oulu features modern plantation-style single-family homes with 2 and 3 bedrooms, ranging from 868 to 1,144 square feet. With 68 homes in this neighborhood, Ho'oulu offers a more intimate community feel within the larger Ho'opili development.

Iliahi

Built starting in 2018, Iliahi includes both duplexes and single-family homes with ADU units. This neighborhood provides entry points for buyers looking at Ho'opili's single-family options at various price levels.

Townhome and Condo Neighborhoods

Kohina

Located at the gateway entrance to Ho'opili, Kohina is the community's first transit-oriented development neighborhood — just steps from the Skyline rail station. Kohina features approximately 276 multi-family homes across 40 unique floor plans, including:

  • Market-priced homes
  • Affordable housing units
  • Townhomes with lanais
  • FLEX homes and commercial spaces
  • Studios (residential and commercial)

Unit sizes range from 1-bedroom (694 sq ft) to 3-bedroom (1,286 sq ft), with FLEX homes up to 1,750 sq ft.

Ilima

One of Ho'opili's most popular neighborhoods, Ilima offers 76 townhomes with a key differentiator: fenced private yards. This makes Ilima especially appealing for pet owners and families who want outdoor space. Seven floor plans range from 935 to 1,400 square feet, with split-level designs and one-car garages. Ilima also includes affordable housing units available through lottery.

'Ahakea (Pohaku Estates)

Part of Ho'opili's newest product line called GenHomes Ho'opili, 'Ahakea is a mixed-use condominium community. The first phase features single-family detached condominium homes with four two-story floor plans offering 2 and 3-bedroom layouts from 880 to 997 square feet. Every home includes smart home technology and split AC.

Uluwehi

Uluwehi is a condominium community designed for convenient modern living, positioned within Ho'opili's growing footprint near planned shopping and dining options.

Alana (Pohaku Estates)

Alana features 187 homes with one-, two-, and three-bedroom floor plans, offering diverse options for singles, couples, and families within the Pohaku Estates section of Ho'opili.

Choosing the Right Ho'opili Neighborhood

When selecting a neighborhood within Ho'opili, consider these factors:

  • Budget — Condos and townhomes start lower; single-family homes with ADUs command premium prices
  • Lifestyle — Want a yard? Look at Ilima or single-family villages. Prefer walkability to rail? Consider Kohina
  • Family size — Larger families should explore Kanalani or Ikena for 3-4 bedroom options
  • Investment potential — ADU-equipped homes in Kanalani and Ikena offer rental income opportunities
  • HOA fees — Fees vary by neighborhood; see our Ho'opili HOA fees guide for details
  • Schools — All neighborhoods feed into the same Ho'opili school district

What's Still Coming to Ho'opili

As a 20-year master plan, Ho'opili continues to expand. Future development includes:

  • Additional neighborhoods and home types
  • More recreation centers and pools (7 planned total)
  • Commercial retail, restaurants, and grocery stores
