How many dwellings can you see from your home?

[LauderSyme]

Just for casual interest. 'Dwellings' so we include flats and bungalows etc as well as houses.

From the back of my house - 21
From the front of my house - 44

I can probably see more when there are no leaves on the trees.

Plus I can see four tall tower blocks in the far distance so that's probably another 120 or so.

I'm mildly surprised. If you had asked me before I counted, I definitely wouldn't have said I can see 65. My estimate would have been much lower.

As in from the window, or standing outside?

From the window I can see 5 across the road. About 10 from back window as can see more through the gaps between houses

From the back: 8
From the front: 18

It's more than I thought, too. Some are only rooftops. Mind, I'm in a bungalow, so if I had an upstairs I might be able to see more, but not much. There's farmland to one side, but there is another street beyond mine.

Edited to add: that's from outside. From the window, I can only see 2 at the back and about 9 at the front.

Odd interest but okay

For me it depends on which window I'm looking out of but for the purpose of this, master bedroom window I can see 36 at the back of the house.
DS bedroom at the front of the house, 13

From the back window on to the garden I can see three. From the front window I can see one.

I'm not counting, but I live in a third floor flat, so quite a lot!

None. Bungalow/villa (I live abroad,) set in an acre of garden surrounded by hedges, trees and high walls. If we open the gates I can see fields and 2 houses in the distance and if I'm on my terrace I can just see next door villa through trees.

Three from the front and three from the back. There are lots of other houses (bungalows ) around but I cannot see them from my window. Obviously if I went outside and could look in different directions up and down the road I would see more.

A lot. I'm in a block of council flats surrounded by maisonettes and semis, and through a break in those I can see about two miles of terrace, double row.

1 from windows, 5 from the front & back garden all together. We live on the edge of a village.

I was standing inside at first floor windows when I counted.

Front, downstairs - 4
Front, upstairs - 7 or 8

Back - glimpses through the trees atm, there is a road across a field with a small development built off it. Can probably see 8 in the winter.

From the back I can see next door, next door but one on the other side and (just) the one behind

From the front 4.

It'd be a few more from upstairs

Around 60 from my window mix of houses and cottage flats + a hospital and a shop. I live on a bend so can see most the houses on my side of the road + opposite + the junctions at either end

A lot more than I think. 14 from the back and 15 from the front. I'm counting from upstairs. Less from downstairs.

Yes it's a bit odd! I felt the need to post an antidote to all the heavy 'meaning of life' threads I've been reading.

3 to the front, none to the back in summer, can see a couple in winter when the trees are bare

Nice! Sounds idyllic.

From my front doorstep, one. Back doorstep - none. Can see more from upstairs, maybe about 5 altogether.

2 from the front - none from the back or side

Two out the front, one out the back.

From the upstairs windows?

2 from the back, 3 from the front

Front - 5
Back - 6

I live in a tower block so can see for miles. Loads of houses/flats/tower blocks but then I do live in London!
