Types of Homes at Hoakalei

There are three distinct communities at Hoakalei: Ka Makana, Kipuka, and Kuapapa.

Ka Makana was the first community to be developed at Hoakalei. There were two groups of homes developed: the Koa Lifestyle and the Koa Premier. The lifestyle provided two floorplans, and premier provided five floorplans. These homes have between 2,100 and 3,500 square feet.

Kipuka is a gated community that overlooks the golf course and is surrounded entirely by green. The community has the two home series called Garden & Golf. The garden series homes look out onto the greenways, and the golf series homes have views of the fairways. Garden series homes have up to 1,700 square feet of living space, but the golf series homes are considerably bigger with up to 2,200 square feet. These single-family homes are all two stories with four bedrooms. A private pool, spa, and recreation area are available for Kipuka residents, including the Wai Hale Club. There is also a private boat launch into the lagoon.

Kuapapa homes were the last addition to the Hoakalei and the most luxurious. The homes in the community have the widest variety of floorplans and options. The gated community looks onto a green course and has water features. Residents can enjoy the incredible Hawaiian sunsets. Residents have access to the Wai Hale Club and private boat launch.

The home styles available at Kuapapa are the Loulou, Naio, Elama, Koa Lifestyle, and Koa Premier.

Loulou style homes are Seaside Cottage homes, and there are four models that have up to 1,800 square feet and have between three and four bedrooms. They boast open-concept floorplans with beautifully covered lanais and front porches. Residents have the ultimate outdoor relaxation spots in these homes.

Naio style homes have a Southern-style and have between four to five bedrooms. These large homes have up to 2,300 square feet and have three full bathrooms. This floorplan is beautiful and inviting.

Elama style homes have views of the golf course and the Kuapapa Preserve. There are three different designs that have up to 2,100 square feet. There are at least four bedrooms and between two and a half and three bathrooms.

The Koa Lifestyle and Premier homes are the same names as the Ka Makana homes, but they are the sister styles. They have up to 3,500 square feet and are extremely roomy with up to five bedrooms. The options between these two homes are endless. They include upgraded finishes, and they are very elegant and luxurious.

There’s a good reason why the homes at Hoakalei have sold out as fast as they did and why homeowners choose to stay in the community for as long as they can.

Future Communities

The developer of Hoakaeli homes has not ruled out the possibility of future communities, but there has not been any formal announcements or specifics released.

Ewa Beach has been around for a long time, so most of the community has been developed. Any new communities have been transformed from previously developed properties. Due to a lack of space and low supply, the prices continue to rise in this desired area. Eventually, typical homeowners won’t be able to afford the neighborhood and will choose a different location, even if it doesn’t offer as much as Ewa Beach does. Prices have seen strong growth in the area, and the demand also continues to grow. Businesses are continuing to move into the area, driving more interest from homebuyers. Oahu has a very healthy real estate market because everyone wants to live in paradise if they can. Many homebuyers choose Oahu to invest in real estate for a second home or as an investment rental property.
