Reading through these answers makes me think of the fact that I have lived in my current house for over 20 years, yet I don’t consider it my home. My husband’s company moved us here. I would rather live in Santa Barbara.

My adult grandsons consider this Grandma’s house because I have lived here since they were babies. Two out of the three of them live here with me.

My son considers it home and he barely remembers any other house. He lives in our rental house 18 miles away.

27.9 miles, according to google maps. I lived approximately 700 miles away before I moved to this house in ‘95. It’s nice to be back home.

On another continent. I was only 5 months old when we moved into the house where my mother still lives… about 32 miles from where I live now.

8 miles max. And I live about 1 mile from the house where I grew up. This doesn’t account for the fact that I moved away and lived in several places, including a foreign country. I guess the chickens do come home to roost.

I can see the hospital I was born at from my roof.

But, I have lived in Mexico and all over the west coast and a brief stint on the east coast. It was just dumb luck that I ended up where I started.

About 100 miles. That’s a long way, in this little country.

GracieT's avatar

I’m in the same state, although if my husband would agree we would leave the midwest. (I would love to leave the country for a while but I would be unable to immigrate to any other country)

harple's avatar

538 miles by road and channel tunnel… roughly 430 miles as the crow flies…

Only 160 odd miles by road to where I did most of my growing up though (and where my folks still live).
