reside

Call somewhere home

Reside means to live somewhere, with connotations of permanence or official status: She resides in Boston, The ambassador resides at the embassy.

It's more formal than live—legal documents ask where you reside, not where you live.

By extension, qualities or powers can reside in something: Authority resides in the office, not the person.
