This area was owned by the McCauley family in the 1880s, and the name is likely a reference to its spectacular views of the river valley. Built largely in the 1960s, the area is characterised by a variety of "executive" style homes on wide, curving streets, surrounded by attractive landscaping on spacious lots.
