    “I’ve been” usually implies a “so far” and is broader than strict present tense (includes previous places of residence). Another way to phrase it could be “I’m fortunate enough to have had great neighbors everywhere I’ve lived”

      Thanks for explaining. English is my second language, and I’ve forgotten that present perfect can describe actions that are still ongoing.
