Do you live where you grew up?

Topic says it all.

no. I moved a huge amount as a kid - 13 houses in my first 14 years. another pretty much 20+ times until I settled where I am now. lived in one apartment for 5 years now, the most ever in my life. I have as a goal staying on one place until all my kids have graduated from high school.

there is a very large number of people in my present town who grew up here. I am always shocked by how many people have come back here after school.

No.

NYC through High School. Both in the city and in Brooklyn.

Houston, Tx. ever since ( many years ). With a few long term trips ( work and play ) mixed in the Houston years. Places like Dallas, Tx. for 6 months which was nice and Lausanne, Switzerland for 4 months which was fantastic.

I am basing this purely on anecdotal evidence but this seems pretty common in the U.S. And if people do move, it's often to the next suburb over or whatever.

I wish but sadly, no.

 

[JayJay]

No, and I'm glad.

No. I think my sig says it all.

Not really. But I'm not far from where I grew up. I grew up in the sticks about an hour north of Detroit then lived in North Carolina for about 5 years and in Japan for a year when I was in the Marine Corps. Now I live in the suburbs about 20 minutes from downtown Detroit.

Yes! I'm happy for now, as it's a fantastic city. If I'd grown up in a small Canadian or midwest town and still lived there, however, I'd want to killself.

I live 50 miles from where I grew up.

Oddly, I just found out that my neighbor (who shares my surname but is unrelated) has a son who owns the house I grew up in.
