Where is your house/apartment number located?

Warning: random and inane post.

We don't have a house number posted, and I think we should probably address that before the fire department fines us or something. I have the correctly sized number, and I'm planning to put it near the door just in case numbers on the mailbox don't count. 

Our front door looks sort of like this, without all the frou-frou, but there is a knocker on the door in place of that poster and a nail for a wreath like the one pictured. I think I'd rather not have it on the door. And each spot on the molding where I tape it me a lopsided feeling. I think it has to be on the white molding, though, because the brick obscures it. I wouldn't hammer into the brick anyway.

Our house number is less than ten...so it's just one random place value all on it's lonesome. 

What are your thoughts? 

(doorbell in same location, and there is also room for it on the molding just above the door which is thicker at our house. but then it just seems...weirdly small and out-of-place eye-catchy)

Ours is on our garage. We have 3 digits, and they're mounted on a decorative white piece to the left of the garage door (which is the direction the house is from the garage as well). I hope that makes sense.

(And I'm still giggling at the word "mounted"...pretty sure I'm 12 right now.)

We have it in 2 spots- over the garage and by the entryway to the front door. Our number has 5 digits so it's nice I think to have both. Although now that you mention it I think ours might be alone in having it in both spots.

Ours is next to the left of the front door.

@pennycandy, is it at eye height on the left side of the door? I think it makes sense to have it near the doorbell in our case. Would you put it on the far side of the molding away from the door in our case?

readinglove and katespade, I think our garage is turned too far away from the road to be visible, but I'll check because that would be a nice solution!

Its at eye level on the same side as the doorbell. I think it would be on the side of the molding.

Ours is by the front door and not at all visible from the driveway or street. We've actually talked about putting the numbers in a more visible spot. It doesn't help that Google Maps directs people to the street behind our house.
