I have lived in this house since 60-th

OR:

I have been living in this house since 60-th.

OR:
could I say:

I live in this house since 60-th.

I don't understand what you mean by 60-th. If you mean 60th, then I ask,
the 60th of what?

But you would say, I have lived in this house since THE 60th.

Again, you would say, I have been living in this house since THE 60th.

No, you cannot word it this way.

Thanks a lot.

In that case:

I have lived in this house since the sixties
or alternately (with questionable grammer)
I have lived in this house since the 60s.

and

I have been living in this house since the sixties.
- or, alternately, with questionable grammer -
I have been living in this house since the 60s.

and the last one still doesn't work.
