View from the House is the eleventh studio album by American singer-songwriter Kim Carnes. It was released on 25 July 1988 by MCA Records. The album marked a return to her early country music roots.

The album spawned two minor hit singles, "Crazy in Love" and "Speed of the Sound of Loneliness", both charting on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks at #68 and #70 respectively. The pop oriented "Crazy in Love" also made it to #13 on the Adult Contemporary chart. In the UK, "Just to Spend Tonight with You" was released as the album's lead single instead.
