Ho’opili
Ho’opili is D.R. Horton’s new master planned community in West Oahu. It is located between the Ewa Beach and Kapolei exits. Over 12,000 homes are expected to be built on approximately 1500 acres of land. This new development coupled with the demand for affordable housing in West Oahu has influenced D.R. Horton to use the lottery system to give purchasers a fair chance to own one of these highly desirable new homes.
This community will have it all! It will include 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and a high school. The growing community will also have 7 community and recreation centers and parks to visit and enjoy. The vision for this development is to give residents the opportunity to have everything they might need within walking distance or a short drive from their homes. Bicycle and pedestrian pathways are also planned to help make it easier and safer for residents to get around.

Lottery
In the past, buyers could purchase homes on a first come, first serve basis as new homes were released. However, the developer has had such an overwhelming demand for new housing that they have recently decided to sell the homes through a lottery system.
The next lottery will be held on October 15, 2017 at 10:00 am. You will need a pre-qualification letter from any lender licensed to work in Hawaii or proof of funds for all-cash buyers. A registration packet will also need to be completed and submitted at the Sales Center no later than 5 pm on October 14, 2017.
