Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are house-hunting in Connecticut.

The couple - who have been dating for six months - have been looking for a home to share on America's East Coast, so that Blake can commute easily to the Gossip Girl set in New York and they have told friends that Connecticut, one hour from the city, is the perfect location.

"They have been looking around different areas of Connecticut for a house. Ryan is practically living with her already. When he's at her apartment, it feels like home," a source told US Weekly.

"Blake and Ryan would like to live, as much as they can, like a normal couple. They love getting out of the city and appreciate a slower pace," a second source added.

Recently Blake, 24, and 35-year-old Ryan enjoyed a relaxed weekend in New Canaan, Connecticut where they "checked out a lot of home decor stores." The couple have previously checked out a love nest in Manhattan, when they viewed a $4.5 million apartment located between the historic Flatiron building and the Empire State Building.
