This township was once home to many Western expatriates circa 1970s. It is located roughly halfway between Ampang and Melawati. Sri Ukay is a residential area located immediately adjacent to Hillview.

Due to its proximity to the nearest hills, a collection of houses and apartments were built here. Many major landslides occurred due to the soil erosion that occurs after heavy rain.

Notable events

  • 11 December 1993 - Block 1 of the Highland Towers collapse, 48 people killed.
  • 20 November 2002 - The bungalow of the Affin Bank chairman General (RtD) Tan Sri Ismail Omar collapsed caused by a landslide in Taman Hillview.
