The recommended safe distance to live from power lines varies depending on the voltage of the power lines. Here are some general guidelines:

• For high voltage power lines (transmission lines), anywhere within 1200m / ¾ of a mile is considered too close.
• For power lines with a voltage of 220-380 kilovolts, the ICNIRP guidelines recommend a minimum distance of 50 meters, while for power lines with a voltage of up to 110 kilovolts, the minimum distance is 10.5 meters.
• For smaller distribution power lines that run close to your home, a safe distance could be 3 meters or 60 meters.
• For high voltage power lines, a minimum safe distance of at least 700 feet (213 meters) is recommended.

It is important to note that these are general guidelines, and additional factors should be considered when determining the ideal distance from power lines. These factors include the strength of the electromagnetic radiation, the age and health of the individual, and the duration of exposure. It is also important to note that living near power lines is generally considered safe, as the overall risk of health effects from EMF exposure is low. However, if you are concerned about your health, you can rent an EMF meter and walk the neighborhoods when you are house shopping to assess the level of EMF exposure.
