Million-Dollar Views Without the Million-Dollar Price Tag

A great view can transform a home, making it feel more open, bright, and connected to its surroundings. Usually, that kind of scenery comes with a high price—but not always. Some homes offer the same sweeping cityscapes and breathtaking water views as multimillion-dollar properties, without the steep cost.

Here are five Brown Harris Stevens listings with million-dollar views under a million. You'll have to see them to believe it.
