    MIL lives about 5 minutes walk away, it's great, it's just far enough so that she calls before dropping in, but close enough for her to help out (or us to help her).

    Over the road would be too close imo.
    Similar here. My parents, IL's and grandmother all live in the same village but each a 7-8 minute walk away each in a different direction. We are also not a constantly popping in family which helps.

    Someone I knew, her parents were going to build 2 houses on their land each for one of their daughters and families. Now that would be my idea of hell. Can't decide which I'd like less to live so close to my parents and sister or to my husband's parents and sister.:eek:
