How many different places have you lived in?

I can only remember living in three places. A nice house in a place called Kirkland...then a more recluded house when I first went into Grade Three. Then the apartment I live in now with my mother when my parents split up. We might be moving again, too.

Montreal, Quebec CANADA

Was born in Malone, NY a small town in the Adirondack foothills about 20 minutes from the Canadian border. Lived in three different houses there with my family. Moved to Canton, NY (60 miles west) to attend college. Lived in Kenya for 6 months during my last year in college as a study abroad. Went back to Canton to live for the summer. Moved back to Malone for the first 3 months of fall trying to figure out what I was doing. Moved to NYC (Brooklyn to be exact) and lived and worked there for 6 years living in 5 different apartments in Brooklyn. Moved to Somerville, MA when I relocated to the Boston area for a new job. Two months later moved to Salem, MA with the friends I was living with in Somerville. After 2 1/2 years moved to Somerville again to live with different friends. Just about ready to move again to Lowell, MA where I just bought a place after being in Somerville for 3 years.

I've lived in six different places. I lived in the place I was born for about two years, the next house for another two years until my father died, and then we moved to the house I grew up in. I lived at college for a year, then moved in with my girlfriend. I now have my own apartment but spend all of my time at my girlfriend's house -- we're talking about having me move back in.

I was born and taken to live in a duplex in Riverdale, MD for five years. Then my family moved to a house in Seabrook, MD. Lived there til I was 20. Then I moved into a one-bedroom co-op (pseudo townhouse) in Old Greenbelt,MD.  During the first year of living there, I was also living in a state of sin. Or so they thought. After 3 years of Greenbelt, I bought a house with the wife in South MD, and have been there since.

I'm not sure I really want to take the time to count. . . a lot. . .West Orange and New Brunswick, NJ. . .Binghamton, NY. . West Orange again. . .Pensacola, Florida and now Los Angeles, California. . .That's six(6) different "places", if that's what the question means. . I suspect it's asking about apartments, homes, domiciles. . .Maybe there's been about twelve or thirteen. . .I'm pretty sure Los Angeles will be my home for the rest of my life. . but I think there should be at least three or four moves in my future. . it's probably gonna be closer to ten(10) more moves

Born and raised in New York City...moved to southern New Jersey at 18. Lived there almost a year and returned to my hometown. Moved back to NJ a few years later then back again, to NYC. Moved to Nevada years later then back to NYC. (hmmm.... a distinct pattern there) Moved to Connecticut at 30 and fell in love with all the rivers, streams, lakes and the countryside. This state also afforded me to be near to the ocean - a necessity for me. I have nothing bad to say about any of the places I've lived, but this is where I'll probably remain. Back to NYC? Visits are wonderful and it will always be "home" for me...but I won't buck that traffic on a daily basis EVER again.

I was born in Washington State on an Air Force Base, moved a few years later to another air force base in Cheyenne, Wyoming. Then my father left the service and our family lived in New Brunswick, NJ for a year until  they found a house in East Brunswick, NJ. I spent my school years there. Then I moved around NJ quite a bit until I married my husband. We lived at Justice Street (another story) for a year and a half. Then we purchased our present home and I have lived here for 17 years.
