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 once known as HOVE is now referred to as 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.
