residence
Where you live
A residence is a place where someone lives.
The word carries a formal or official tone—you fill out forms asking for your place of residence, and a dignitary's official home is their residence.
Residence also refers to the fact of living somewhere: during her residence in Paris.
In medical contexts, residency is a period of specialized training for doctors after medical school.
