Located in the cool, upcountry town of Kamuela (also known as Waimea), the Lualai community offers a desirable blend of modern living and historic charm. Developed by D.R. Horton in the early 2000s, this planned community is thoughtfully designed to embrace the relaxed Island lifestyle. ‘Lualai’ refers to the 1st 2 Phases of the project, containing about 208 homes, with ‘
Lualai at Parker Ranch’ being the 3rd and final Phase.
The Lualai community is deeply rooted in the unique history of the Waimea-Kamuela area, a fertile region first settled by Native Hawaiians. The landscape and destiny of Waimea were dramatically altered in 1815 as the
Parker Ranch came into being. It would not only dominate this part of the Big Island but also give rise to the legendary Paniolo, Hawaii's cowboys.
While Waimea, like much of the Big Island's interior, has seen growth and change, it has largely retained its "country" feel. It offers a welcome respite where people can enjoy a quieter pace of life and ample space, all while surrounded by a rich cultural heritage.
