A house or apartment with a “view” – any kind of view – is a luxury which commands a LARGE PRICE premium over those with no view.

In urban areas a home with a view is rare, and home-hunters get excited even at the prospect of a “partial view”.  Any kind of view ramps up the desirability – and thus the selling/rentable value – of a home.  Within the densely-packed buildings of most cities – especially as you get closer to the centre – any potential views are usually obstructed by nearby buildings and/or ruined by noisy roads, expanses of concrete, advertising hoardings, transmission poles, or the many other manifestations of urban ugliness.  

Geography conspires to limit views since most cities are built on wide flat plains and – of those situated by a sea, lake, river or mountains – only expensive homes will have a direct frontage to those.  The only “view” that the great majority of urban homes have is of the building next door or the one across the street.  Anything more – a park view or a green hillside or – most sought-after of all, a water view or mountain view – or even partial views or “glimpses” of those – commands a hefty price premium.
