The View


View from Living Room Window

One of the best features of our new apartment is the view. It is something that wasn't even on our list of features that we were looking for in an apartment, but it is a wonderful "extra", as is the balcony that we will be able to enjoy our view from in warmer weather. We are on the 9th floor (yes, Apartment 6B is on the 9th floor....there are 3 commercial floors beneath the apartment levels). This is high enough that we can see for miles, more than 180 degrees from various windows, and it also keeps the abundant street noise rather dim, which is a good thing since we are accustomed to NO noise, except birds and the occasional coyote. But it is not so high that it would be impossible to walk up in the event of a power outage (although I certainly would not look forward to the climb). The view is even more awesome at night, but I lack the photography skills to capture it. Wish Lisa Scolastico or Patty Bamber or Debi Peters or Robert Cunningham were here!

  1. on the "Toward Harvard and the Charles River" photo, Harvard Dunster House residence is the white with crimson topped-tower on the far right, and HBS Baker Library Gold Dome is the tiny tower near the center of the photo (near the top).
