There are a few key factors to consider when house hunting. Most people concern themselves with which way a house faces, its floor plan, and what floor it's on. On top of all that, many people these days prioritize the view from a house. I, too, place a premium on this factor.
I chose the house I live in now because it has a river view. I feel a deep sense of happiness whenever I see the sunlight glimmering on the waves. Nothing obstructs the view, so it really feels liberating. I realize every day that the view plays a big part in my quality of life. These days, I sometimes long for the healing energy provided by trees and forests. That's why I plan to look for place in close proximity to a mountain or park when I next choose a home.
