How many houses?

[Airehead]

I just read that the average number of houses that people live in is 11.  What is your house count?  I would count apartments, condos, single family homes as your living dwelling.  Don't count dormitories and vans down by the river.

 

My count is 13

[Square Wheels]

I lived in apartments as a kid, not sure it's possible to count.  Maybe 10 different places by the time I was 10.  I went to at least 4 different elementary schools.

[Thaddeus Kosciuszko]

Just one, at the moment.

I couldn't keep up with the 'honey do' list for more than one house, let alone 11.

Four. And here's another fact aboot me. The hospital I was born at, is ½ mile as the crow flies, from my current residence

Assuming cardboard boxes count as residences, how many cardboard boxes?

[Parsnip Totin Jack ★]

Where were you born?

[Dirtyhip]

Gosh, somewhere in the teens.  

I think I am at 17.  The new home will be 18.  There were quite a few residence changes when I was 18-24.

In my entire  life 4 houses 3 apartments and 1 loft

Born in a house on Dumont in Richardson.

College years

Apartment on Walnut Hill in Dallas

Apartment on Oak Street in Wylie Texas

Apartment on Meadowcreek in Dallas

There may have been a stop in Tyler Texas and Lafayette Indiana when I was a toddler.  I do not rememember those houses.  Strangely, I do remember the fence at the house I was born in and years later could describe it to my mother.  We even drove past to verify.

My count is 13

Not counting the college dorm or 2 college apartments or the college fraternity or my aunt's house in Wilkes-Barre, PA where I've spent some summers, I've lived in three:  my parents' house, the house I bought, then my late parents house I where bought out my siblings shares and downsized to it after I retired, and the apartment I've been in for 14 months while the burned house is being rebuilt.

I've only ever had two different official addresses.

[MoseySusan]

9. 

[Randomguy]

31.  I may have missed a couple.

[BuffJim]

11. Only counting apartments that I stayed at more than a year.

Does it count as more than 1 home if the trailer moves with you?

[Zealot]

Not including dorms (3) and temporary living arrangements (3), I’ve lived in 15 different places.  But have been in my current home (the only one I’ve owned) for the past 26 years. 

[ChrisL]

9 different places but that doesn’t factor the military where I had different duty stations & moved platoons/barracks within my company. I just counted it as 1 place.

[Kirby]

Eight.  The place I'm living in now is the longest I've ever lived somewhere - 23 years and counting.

9

[JerrySTL ★]

At least 19. Being in the military for 24 years will do that.

My grandparents moved from DC to Bethesda.  As a kid we lived in Jarretsville for a short time before we went full time back to the shore.

10 including the 4 my father built (we moved into each new one while the next was built) the rentals I lived in while in the navy (but no ships as I really didn't live on them) and the one apartment and 2 houses womaxx and I have had.

Do I count the apartment we rented for 5 months while finishing the house we were building?

If so 1 apartment and 4 houses.

[donkpow]

When we say "lived in", what kind of time frame are we talking? Like, do one night stands count? (Asking for somebody else who doesn't like to talk about his personal life on the internet.)

3 houses, 1 apartment.

[Allen ★]

Born at Springwood. One apt in college. Two apartments after college. Rented two houses after college. Bought my house that abuts Springwood, lived there for a long time. Now back at Springwood. 
 

So that puts my total at either 7 or 8 depending on if I count Springwood once or twice.

Lett's clarify as moving the majority of your stuff in versus just sleeping there... after that length doesn't count

I would count it once as it was the same house so 7

Preface: Not a military family.

I moved to Florida the night after my graduation from High School. I was 18. The trailer I rented and stayed in for 18 months while I got my bearings in FL was home number 19.

Count the apartments, condos and the home the wife and I are in now we are up to:

30

Graduation was 20 years ago and I've lived in the current home 8/9 years. So I've stuck with the move every year or so for most of my life. I plan on staying in this home until I'm dead or it is washed out to sea. It's a race!
