[kimbutgar]

[Hugh_Lebowski]

6. You still live in the house you were born into?

Wow!

[kimbutgar]

7. The same city and I still own the house I grew up in

The house i live in now 29 years!

[Skittles]

9. I was talking to a coworker

he said he lived in the same house until he went to college - I found that mind-boggling....I said, so you went to school with the SAME PEOPLE year after year after year? I couldn't even imagine, I was a GI brat, we moved constantly, sometimes overseas....for example, I went to three high schools, in England, Iowa and Illnois

[BarbaRosa]

21. Schools

I had a similar experience in my school years. My Dad was a exploration geologist which meant we went to where the rocks were. K-8 was eight schools and high school was SW New Mexico, New Delhi India, SWNM ( same town, new building) and Sydney, Australia.

I saw a lot, but my grades suffered.

15. We refinanced 3 times over the years to get it down to 6%.

[Joinfortmill]

10. I'm between homes...

Currently staying with my daughter. Previously I called home S.C. for 6 years, which is about average for me.

Hong Kong, BCC: 3 years
East Bay, California: 5 years
San Luis Obispo, California: 5 years

Groveland, California: 1 year
Gilbert/Mesa, AZ: Almost 15 years total

This house (Mesa): 6.5 years

[Elessar Zappa]

14. Are you Mormon by chance?

I ask because I know a lot of mormons here who have either lived in Gilbert or Mesa or have family there.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

16. My ex-wifes family is (well, at this point, they mostly 'were') and she was raised Mormon

But left the church at 16 yo.

She is why I live here. Her family is here, Gilbert natives.

Plus a great job I've been at this whole time. Plus I own a house here.

I'm probably the biggest Atheist you've ever met

[rsdsharp]

12. 19 years, 4 months tomorrow.

That’s the longest time I’ve ever lived continuously in one location. I lived in my parents house until I was 20, but after I was 18, I lived in the dorm at college for most of the next two years.

[LisaM]

13. 7 years.

The rent is too high, but there is no rent control in Washington state and no prospect of rent control in the future.

We had to leave the last three places we lived, not through our choice. It sucks, and we are perfectly good tenants, so I can't imagine how it is being on the edge (first we had to leave a family house that was being sold, even though my partner had been his grandmother's caretaker for the last five years of her life and should have been left the house, then we had to leave because of a certified crazy landlady who was later blocked from ever having tenants again, and finally, our little well-priced rental house was sold and we had to leave).

Our apartment is too small, but at this point, leaving is not an option. Getting a new place means we would either pay more or have to move far away from our friends and activities.

I get so tired of people who push apartments and density. It's not a great way to live and I can't see any other option. I so want a roomier place with a library for my books.

[doc03]

17. 27 years

[CountAllVotes]

[Dale in Laurel MD]

22. 44 years, 2 months

Core was built in 1878.

[Freddie]

23. 24 years 3 months

We bought the house newly built. I think DH and myself and our neighbors to the left might be the last “original” people here. Paid $153k. House just got a Zillow value of 480k (realistically I think it would sell for 380) but we’re not going anywhere.

[Alpeduez21]

24. 3 months

we just downsized and moved from the county to downtown after 12 years there. Which is the longest I've lived anywhere. (12yrs)

[Genki Hikari]

25. 22 years this month

Where did the time go...?

[Basic LA]

26. Over 49 years ...

... bought this little 2-bedroom in L.A. (The Valley) in 1973. Raised 2 kids here. Kept it thru 2 divorces, and I'm still here. Love it.

[ARPad95]

27. I've been in my house for 31 years, 4 months. It was 4 years old when we bought it.

[mnhtnbb]

28. 22 months on Nov 6th

I moved into my new house on Jan 6, 2021. Yes, the day of the attempted coup and attack on the Capitol Building in DC.

[IcyPeas]

29. same apartment 30 years.

feel kind of stuck here now.

[BluesRunTheGame]

30. I have NOT had a "house/apartment" of any kind for 9 years.

I’m an OTR trucker and I live in the truck supplied by my employer. When I take time off I stay in a hotel. When I’m between jobs I stay in a hotel. The idea was to save money and purchase a home with cash. Of course, we all know what the housing market has been like for the last few years. I’d been better off going into debt.

[Midnight Writer]

31. 36 years. 10% interest. Crappy little house but in a very nice neighborhood. And it's paid for.

[2naSalit]

32. 16+ months.

[we can do it]

33. 6 years, 3 months in Rehoboth Beach.

[Aristus]

34. Eighteen years.

That’s the longest I’ve ever lived anywhere.

[Archae]

35. February 1rst it'll be 31 years in this apartment.

I like it here.

[3catwoman3]

36. 28 years in one of the far northwest suburbs...

...of the greater Chicago area. It will be 29 come February. Longest I've lived anywhere.

I was born in Chicago, but wasn't there long, as my parents moved for the first time, when I was 6 months old. By the time I was 12, we finally settled in one of the suburbs of Rochester NY, by which time it was our 8th address. My dad was not in the military - just kept changing jobs.

After attending 2 different colleges, where I lived on campus, I've had an additional 12 addresses, including living in Japan while I was in the Air Force nurse corps. Actually 14 places, if I can count 2 separate 4 month stints that I knew were only short term going in - 4 months in a boarding house while taking my nurse practitioner certification course, and 4 months in my parents' cottage at Keuka Lake in the Finger Lakes while our current house was being built.

[FakeNoose]

37. Northside of Pittsburgh - bought my house in 1996

So I'm a single homeowner for over 26 years. The mortgage will be paid off in a couple of years.
