How many houses have you lived in?

24 different houses/apartment/vessels.
8 as a kid with parents, the rest as a teen/adult/oldster.

I spent multiple years going back and forth from our first apartment to a vessel I worked on. Although I lived in several different cabins aboard, I counted it as one place.

I’m in my late 60s now.

Now you’re second. :wink:

71 years old, 3 residences.

House #1: 33 years … Grew up in North London (UK) (saving up for a house - when interest rates were 7% :astonished:)
House #2: 6 months … Took a job on South coast (it didn’t last :roll_eyes:)
House #3: 38 years … Took a wonderful job in the Midlands and retired here :grinning:

Curses!

mmm

I’m 56 and with 5 homes I’m at the low end, but it’s typical for Germans not moving as easily as Americans. I don’t count the three months of boot camp when I served in the Bundeswehr (which was still during the Cold War).

I lived at my family home until I was 29, which was convenient since I had my own floor in our three story house and I attended a college in a nearby city 50 km away which I could commute to.

A few years after college, I moved to a house in a nearby village with my best friend (and his changing girlfriends :wink:) as housemates. I lived there for six years before I had a bout of severe depression and went back to live with my parents for a year, who in the meantime had sold our family home and had moved to an apartment.

After I had overcome the depression, I moved to an apartment in another neighboring village, which actually is my birth place because back then, it had the nearest hospital. This was my first time living alone. After four years, my landlords needed the apartment for their daughter, so I moved to a similar one in the same village where I have been living now for 17 years.

All in all, I haven’t moved farther than 15 km from my home town.

I tried adding those up, but it got too confusing.

Lessee … 2 with my parents, 6 at university, 8 in the USAF, and 7 since = 23 (±2 :wink: ).

I’m 66, and probably have 1 or 2 more ordinary residences in me before the (optional) move to Ye Olde Farte’s Home and then the (mandatory) final move to the box.

I thought I was at the low end with 9 houses (not counting shared accommodations in college days) but I see some here have even lower numbers. Most were houses that I owned, a few were rentals. It’s a mix of long-term residencies (well over 10 years) and a few short-term ones.

67 years old - 21 places (or 22 if you count one rent house that I lived in twice) up to the age of 36. In the last 31 years I have lived in only 2.

23 residences total

33 residences, counting summers I lived in a tent or travel trailer.

I am 70.

60 years, about 19 places in four cities in three countries. That is not counting summer stays in England and Austria as a teenager and long stays learning languages in Italy, France and Russia.

Let me tell you about the biggest tsunamis recorded by science so far, and I am sure anything can be topped by a resolute Argentinian. And I mean anything.

52 here, and as best I know, ten.

Two were ones I was too young to remember, and three were dorm rooms, two of which were in the same dorm.

I didn’t count ones where I didn’t have a permanent address or the equivalent for a dorm room.

The two largest stretches were my childhood home (18 years) and my current home (16 years).

One
Two
Three
Four
Five
Six
Seven
Eight
Nine
Ten
Eleven
Twelve
Thirteen

That figures.

I’m in my late 50s and not counting temporary accommodations provided by my employer on international secondment or domestic relocations nor university residence halls, I have lived in 11 houses or apartments, and before leaving my parents home we lived in 7 homes.

I’m 55 and have lived at 22 different addresses across 3 countries. They range from a 1 room bedsit to a 4 bedroom house in a couple of acres. Now in a 2 bed flat which feels about right

Literal houses? Three, two of which I currently own with my wife. These two are my longest-term residences (one from 1977-2017, with about ten, eleven years missing from 1993-2003 in between, and the other since 2017).

Just addresses? Little more difficult. Let’s see, college, 2 different rooms at a single dorm. Oh, I guess I rented at 2 different houses here, so you could add that to my house total. 1 apartment. Let’s see, 2 different houses in Croatia (forgot about all these houses), 1 staff quarters in Scotland. Spent a few months at a friend of the family’s house in Wolverhampton. 3 apartments in Budapest. 1 month-long stint at volunteer’s quarters in Slovenia. Oh, and a summer at Winthrop House at Harvard. Oh, and a frat house room I rented for the summer (I was not in the frat).

So what is that? Around 17, I guess, depending on which of these count.

A lot. Grew up in one house, but we summered about 100 miles from where we lived, in about a half dozen different bungalows for three months at a time (paying rent on the bungalows), so I’d say 7 places, ages 0-17.

Then I went to college, so 4 dorm rooms plus 3 summer residences when the dorms were closed, plus I rented a different dorm room over winter break one time, so that’s 8 more, ages 18-21, for a running total of 15.

Then I lived in a variety of apartments, 4 of which I paid rent on (as opposed to “crashed in for a week or two”), so that brings me up to 19, from ages 22-27.

Then I went to grad school for 8 years in 3 different cities, living in 4 different apartments and dorms, so that’s 23 places, ages 28-35.

Then (married now) I lived in two places, ages 36-39.

Divorced, I lived in a series of 3 hellholes, ages 40-42, bringing me up to 28.

Then I bought a co-op, sold it and bought another one, ages 42-45, so that’s 30.

Then I sold my co-op, and bought a condo and retired at age 66, so that’s 31 (25 not counting the bungalows). Nearly one for every two years I’ve lived.

Seven. Three as a child (one as an infant so I was too young to remember), three apartments after college, and the house I live in now (been here 45 years).

House #1 : ages 0-3
House #2 : ages 3-17
House #3 : age 18 (my folks are still there, and it’s where I sleep when I visit)
University dorm room #1-2 : age2 18-19 (two rooms in the same building)
Apartment #1 : age 20
Apartment #2 : age 21
Apartment #3 : ages 22-24
Apartment #4 : age 25
Apartment #5 : age 26-30
Apartment #7 : ages 30-38
Apartment #8 : 38 to present.

Twelve buildings total, though two different rooms in one of them.

Two during childhood
College-ish years where I probably racked up at least half dozen, none more than a year and often just a few months, across three countries and both coasts.

Married, four, one for about 40 years.

1 house I grew up in
5 dorm rooms/apartments for college
4 apartments before getting married
1 apartment after getting married
1 house after getting married (I have a vacation place but it’s not my legal residence, not counting it)

12 total, 53yrs old.
