Blakeview was gazetted as a suburb in 1990, taking territory from Smithfield and Munno Para that was east of Main North Road.

Houses built within the Blakes Crossing community are subject to land title encumbrances, with Delfin/Lendlease having guidelines in place to dictate acceptable architectural design and external finishes in accordance with their vision for the development.
