We keep our blinds closed throughout the day and night so we have no view. Our bedroom gets full afternoon sun starting at noon and it is brutally hot by 2 p.m. The blinds remain closed to keep the room a bit cooler.

10. I see trees framing our back lawn rolling down to a lake with the pennisula green of the golf sitting in the center. In the distance I can see the green fairway of the next hole, and mansions sitting on the far side of the green. In the morning the sunrises over the lake, with often with mist rolling over the water. We can see the bald eagles, herons, and hawks flying over, with deer frolicing on the lawn. I'm not sure I could do better.

I'd rate my bedroom view a 1! Or maybe a 0. I have two and they look out on my neighbors ugly fence. The front view isn't bad because it faces the street and there's a really nice mfg. home park across the street. There's a nicely landscaped area before the homes start and they keep it nice. Another story for next door neighbors and back yard though. Both of my neighbors have trashy yards and my back windows...which I have four big ones...looks out at a desert covered hill with HUGE water treatment tanks on top. Also a church but you can't see that. The one plus is that I can see the red rocks of Sedona from my eastside windows. I could see it better if not for the trees and roofs of my neighbors homes which I can see because I'm higher than they are. I guess I didn't buy the house for the views? lol

I have two rooms. One where my other half snores. The view out of that window is gorgeous rock outcropping of our property. We hope to clean them up and maybe add a waterfall. I'd give it a 9, possibly a 10 when the waterfall develops.

The other looks upon the front porch where the birdfeeders are. LOVE it! a solid 8 on that one.

No....but I'm only in my bedroom for quite limited hours a day (usually at night) and am usually otherwise occupied that I'm not looking out the window! The view from more public rooms is definitely more important to me.

9 for rear bank of 3 large windows, looks out to my wooded and landscaped back-yard.

5 or 6 for the side windows, it looks out to a neighbors side/back yard...we can see their trash cans lol...I usually keep those blinds tilted as I don't want to see their yard/trash cans. I store my trash/recycle containers in the garage...

This is my view. I'd call it an 8. We live on a steep hill across the street from a forested city park. I'd give it a 9 if there weren't telephone lines and cars parked across the street. It is at its most attractive just before sundown, when the setting sun casts a rosy, golden glow over the forest.

Pikes Peak to the east, the Collegiate range to the west, 9600' Crystal Peak 3/4 of a mile to the NE, all can be seen from our L shaped window room. Better views, of course, from other areas of the house. So a 10 doesn't do the view justice.

Pretty much a ten--it's a view of a golf course and a lake ringed with trees.
