The community was the first in Jamaica to have a community paper and its residents claim that the community was the first to host street dances.[1] Harbour View is located in East Kingston and can be described as one of the best communities to live and raise families .
Harbour View is southeast of Long Mountain and south of Yallas Mountain. The centre of Harbour View is near the point where the Palisadoes spit meets the mainland, making Harbour View the eastern extreme of Kingston Harbour. To the east of this, also within Harbour View, is the mouth of the Hope River.
