HOVE consists of 10,697 one-acre lots mauka of Hawaii
Belt Road. The terrain varies from rugged lava fields to lots containing
Ohia trees and other vegetation. Water is by catchment only with power
to some, but not all, of the lots. Elevation begins at the 1,500 ft.
level, at Hawaii Belt Rd., and rises up to the 5,000-foot level.
Ocean View was once part of Kahuku Ranch. Initial sales began in the
late 50's and early 60's. The original developer of HOVE was the
Crawford Oil Company. In the early 1980's a service station and a rental
building, where the first hardware store began its business, were built.
In 1989 the Ocean View Town Center was developed and the Ocean View Road
Maintenance Corporation began an extensive rebuilding program of the
roads in HOVE and the surrounding area. Shortly thereafter the Ocean
View Development Corporation started a new market, which included a
Laundromat and restaurant. Ocean View now has two shopping centers.
There are over 100 listings in the Ocean View Business Directory with
categories ranging from: Automotive, B&B's, Builders, Computer Services,
Electronics, Farm & Garden, Grocers, Hair Salons, Land Services, Medical
& Health, Professional Services, Publishing, Real Estate Offices,
Restaurants, Retail & Wholesale Outlets, Services, Water Service, and
Video Rental Establishments.
The area is known as HOVE or Ocean View and now encompasses the
developments of Hawaiian Ocean View Ranchos, Kahuku Country Gardens,
Kula Kai View Estates, Kona Gardens, Keone's Ranchos, and Kona View
Estates. |
