S/O - how many miles do you live from your childhood home?

19 miles / 25 minute drive from where I live now. Ironically, one of my siblings lives in the house my mom moved to when she sold the house I grew up in, and another sibling lives in the house she lived in last. Yet another sibling lives in the house DH and I bought when we got married.

I did not have a childhood home. I grew up in Los Angeles in apartments or rentals or with family until we moved across country to coastal NC when I was 15. Neither of those places are "home". It's 1553 miles from my current home in Omaha to LA and 1372 miles to NC.

As someone who did not grow up with strong family roots, then roaming the world in the military, then marrying military and roaming after he retired, moving here was the first time I felt like I'd found "home". I'm here until I die. The funny thing is, I actually have come home. My paternal grandfather is from South Dakota (Pine Ridge Reservation), maternal grandfather from North Dakota (German immigrants from Russia), maternal great grandparents from Nebraska. My paternal grandmother's family has been in Southern California since the late 1800s.

I've really tried to provide my son the family ties, with a home we owned, that I didn't have growing up. This summer, his girlfriend moved here from NJ and we're working on her mom now. If you didn't grow up with it, it's possible to create your own.

I live either 20/10,000/15 miles from where I grew up. Funnily enough, the 10,000 and 15 miles are the ones I feel that actually make sense to me. The 10,000 miles is from Sydney, Australia to Montreal, Canada; and the other two are suburbs of Sydney. I kind of wished for a long time that we had stayed in Canada, but now I can just visit.

1,559 miles. 

30 miles. I grew up in North Dallas and I now live in Colleyville - both suburbs in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. I did not love the Dallas side of town as a place to live, so have zero interest living over there, but I do love the broader DFW area and grateful to live here. Everyone else in my family of origin moved to California/Colorado, but my husband's family still lives on the Fort Worth side of town. I also have lots of college friends that live in DFW.

1000 miles - Chicago (now) to DFW (grew up)

I live about a hundred miles from where I grew up. We lived in the Bay Area. DH and I got married and raised our kids there. 
He worked for a major newspaper. We stayed there until our youngest kid was 13, then moved to a small town to get out of the Bay Area. DH continued to work for the newspaper for another 15 years. Then he retired, and we bought a small farm, nothing I ever would have predicted when we first got married. 

Under 15 miles.
I moved three times but all in the same town


Not so long ago I discovered a great great+ aunt and family moved from Rhode Island to Piscataway NJ to the town I presently live in, in the 1600s, before this town was chartered in 1669..

As the crow flies, 14 miles. To drive it, about 25 miles. My dh and I live on HIS family farm. My deceased brother's widow lives on the yard where I grew up.

25 miles/30 min.
Not necessarily by choice. We’ve lived here our entire lives. We’d like to try something else, but this is not the right time.

Another with no true "childhood home" but live about 6 miles from the last house I lived in before moving out to live with my EX. We moved a ton when I was growing up and then my mom met her current husband when I was in high school and basically moved out of our house when I was a senior in high school. My EX is also from the same town and his childhood home was about 2-3 miles from all of the places we've lived the past 30 years. He grew up in the slightly nicer part of the town so we chose to settle here and after the divorce, I stayed because I like it (nice, quiet suburb with good schools and minimal crime. The only thing I don't love is that it's a bit more conservative than I'd prefer and is lacking diversity not to mention that it's $$$)

About 4000 miles. I was born in the sitting room of the house my family rented from the council in North east England. I always try to visit the area when I go back for holidays. ( My Sisters and Brother still live close to the house)

17 miles: Berkeley to SF

About 200.
