Crossword Genius

The location provides a sound view (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

site

'the location' is the definition.
(site is a kind of location)

'a sound view' is the wordplay.
'a sound' shows a homophone (sound like).
'view' becomes 'sight' (synonyms).
'sight' sounds like 'SITE'.

'provides' is the link.

(Other definitions for site that I've seen before include "Web location; place" , "Ties into building location" , "Somewhere to build, perhaps" , "Designated place" , "Building plot" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
