My mom is about a mile and a half away, my youngest brother(16) lives with his dad durning the school year about 8ish miles away, and my middle brother(20 in a couple days) lives with his wife about 15miles away but we never get to see them or are allowed to talk to them.
My dad lives 1300miles away, grandma/aunt about 1150 all 3 in Nebraska, grandpa(dad's dad) lives wild guess, 1000 miles? he lives in Arroyo Grande, Ca and I'm not sure how far that is.
Dh's entire (immediate family(not including us)) family is in Texas, dad/step-mom are in Austin, mom/brother/step-dad in Spring, so around 3000 miles away.

right now I live next door to my mom and step dad and my brother's ex wife, her boyfriend and my niece. I'm about 15mins away from cousins, 2 aunts and 1 uncle, 20mins from another aunt, and 40mins from the other uncle on my mom's side----with cousins thrown in there. I'm 10mins from an uncle and cousins on my dad's side, and about 40mins from my aunt and another on his side, and 120miles from another uncle....the others are dead.
When I get the new house finished I'll be an hour from my mom and niece and all her family again.

well my in laws "live" down stairs... but my FIL is a long haul truck driver and my MIL is currently working at a camp about 3 hours away for the summer. They will pop in occasionally.. They are a life saver to have around..... especially with me being pregnant and having the two boys
My parents however are about 18 hours away. Kinda stinks.

Mine are a 5 hour drive away (250 miles, in the States) and his are an hour away each (based on transit from his dad, who lives in the city and highway driving for his mom, who lives north of the city).

My mom is 3.5 - 4 hours away. In-laws the same, except sometimes during the week they are with Dh's grandparents and they are about 40 minutes away (during non traffic times).

My parents, DF's parents and SIL are 1.5 hours away.
My sister is 4.5 hours away.
Other SIL is about an 8 hour drive, or 1 hour flight away.
BIL is in the same city, so only a 20 minute drive.
I like how far away my parents are - close enough to visit, but not close enough to be a PITA!

My mom is an 11 hr car ride, 1hr 45 min by plane. Dad is 6 to 7 hour car ride. MIL I believe is just right around the corner, but we haven't spoken to her in almost a year so that is a guess (she moved recently). FIL is on the other side of the country.

Well I live with my in laws so they are very close. My parents are an hour and 45 minutes away, my sister and bil are a little over an hour away, my brother and sil are 5 hours away (I think, we'll find out Saturday when we go visit for the weekend!), and my other brother and soon to be sil are probably about an hour and a half away.
Dh's brother and his wife and niece are about 2 hours away but we never go see them for many reasons, number one reason right now being I'm not allowed to nurse in their house and I wouldn't now even if they "let" me.
I have cousins scattered between NJ and NC but the ones I'm closest with along with my Uncle live around the corner from my parents' house and 5 minutes from their house.

Nope. But nowhere here is far. You can get around the whole island in 2 hours barring there's little traffic.
My parents and 2 of my sisters' homes are about 25-30 mins away, my other sister's home is about 15-20 mins away and my IL's home is 3-5 mins away.
