how many feet do you live from house to house

If you mean the distance between houses, there isn’t one fixed number: it depends on local zoning and setback rules, and some places have side setbacks around 5 feet, front setbacks around 30 feet, and back setbacks around 15 feet. In some neighborhoods, houses can end up only a few feet apart from the lot line, so the exact answer is usually set by the city or town.

What to check

• Your local building department’s setback rules.
• Your neighborhood or HOA rules, if any.
• The property’s plat or lot survey, which shows the exact boundaries and required distances.

Simple rule of thumb

• There is no universal “feet from house to house” number.
• The real answer is usually “house to lot line,” not house to house.
• The space between two houses is the sum of both properties’ required setbacks.
