The Community
Family neighborhood with a private community marina, pool, and clubhouse.
History
Northview Harbour (Denver) was developed in the late 1990s as a large family-anchored waterfront community on the western shore of Lake Norman. The plan combined a community marina with covered slips, a pool and clubhouse facility, and a wide range of waterfront and water-view homes.
Lifestyle
Life at Northview Harbour is anchored by the marina and the pool. Mornings start with breakfast at the dock-side pavilion, weekends mean fueling up at the marina before sunrise launches, and evenings end with pool-deck gatherings or marina sunset cocktails. The culture is multigenerational boating families.
