proximity
Being very close
Proximity is nearness in space, time, or relationship.
Physical proximity means being close by: The hotel's proximity to the beach made it ideal.
The word often implies that closeness matters—proximity to a fire hydrant affects where you can park, proximity to power affects who gets heard.
In close proximity is common but redundant.
