We - as in the Solar System, are located about 25,000 light years from the centre of the Milky Way Galaxy and about 25,000 light years from the edge.

The Sun and the rest of the Solar System are close to the inner rim of the galaxy's Orion Arm, in the Local Fluff inside the Local Bubble, and in the Gould Belt.

Indeed.

Our Sun is around 26,000 light-years from the center of the Milky Way Galaxy, which is roughly about 80,000 to 120,000 light-years across the radius (and less than 7,000 light-years thick). We, the Earth, are located on on one of its spiraling arms, bordering towards the edge.
