It usually appears after a subject and before a reference point, as in "She lives by the river" or "He lives by his parents." While it literally refers to physical proximity, in everyday speech it can indicate both closeness and neighborhood context. It should not be confused with the phrase "lives by" in the sense of following rules or principles, which is usually expressed as "lives by a rule" or "lives by principles."
