skyline view

Urban horizon scene

A skyline view is a vista showing the outline of buildings, mountains, or other structures against the sky.

The term typically describes urban panoramas where tall buildings create a distinctive silhouette: The apartment's skyline view of Manhattan justified the rent.

Real estate listings use it to signal premium sightlines from upper floors.
