Best bet would be to use Google Maps or Google Earth.
Just type in an address from either and it will fly-to that location showing best available aerial or satellite images. With Google Maps you may need to change to the Satellite or Earth View if you're in Map view. Then you can enable Street View to see if high-resolution street-side photographs are available.
There are also alternatives to websites like Google Maps and software like Google Earth. See related questions and related links below for alternatives.
If you cannot find what you're looking for and want to purchase high resolution images then there are a number of image providers such as those that provide imagery to Google (e.g. DigitalGlobe, GeoEye). Try doing an internet search for satellite and aerial imagery.

MaxineYou can see many houses and properties sometimes in high-resolution imagery from
Google Maps,
Google Earth, or Bing Maps.
After you type in your address and jump to your property enter Street View mode to see if Google has high-resolution street level photographs available (it's not available in all areas or countries). To launch into Street View, either double click on the house and/or ground near it or drag the orange "pegman" icon and drop onto the property.
Likewise, in Bing Maps you can also enter your home address, fly near it, then switch to "Bird's eye" or "Streetside" mode to explore more closely.
You could check Google Maps, or Google Earth. To find it, simply enter your address into the search bar, such as 1234 Sesame Street, State, city. It should automatically take you to your address and you will be able to see your home.

What are three ways people can see the earth from above?
You can see the earth from above in flying vehicles such as aircraft or spacecraft. We can also observe the earth remotely by using satellite imagery.
Best website for satellite images?
NASA provides vast archives of satellite imagery much of which are available online such as the NASA Image Gallery.Google Maps is a great tool to see satellite imagery of earth. Remember to change "Map" view to "Satellite" to display the satellite imagery.If you need better (higher resolution) imagery, you could try other mapping programs or, if you have the resources, you could consider purchasing imagery for your own use.Here are a few companies with websites to start with, but there are others, try doing an internet search for satellite and aerial imagery:DigitalGlobeSpot ImageMapMartTerrametricsTerraServer
What is satellite and can you see it?
That is a pretty simple question... Satellite is a space craft which recives information from towers like tv towers and radio tower. Obviously you cannot see it, it is on the exosphere and we are on the troposphere
A satellite views the Earth at an angle of 20°. What is the arc measure, x, that the satellite can see 40° 80° 160° 320°?
160°
Is there a website where you type an address and you see a house from space?
Google has a site with satelite photos of just about everywhere. Not always clear or recent. My parents' home (Arkansas) is shown with cloud cover, unable to see much detail. Our home (Wisconsin) is clear enough to see that the sod hasn't been laid yet, which means the photos is about 5 years old.
