Approximatley 2 years before Bella Swan moves to Forks.
They supposedly moved from Denali, Alaska
Three years I'm pretty sure before Bella arrived to live with her dad. At least I think so anyways. they actually just moved back about two years before Bella arrived- previously they came in the 20's but then left when the quileyute pack was disturbed. that was when carlisle made the treaty with ephriam black
The humans think they move in Edward and Alice's freshman year, and Roalie, Emmet, and Jasper's sophmore year.
Edward and his family move to forks 2 or 3 years before he met Bella!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No. Esme renovated an abandoned cottage in the woods near the Cullens' house for Edward and Bella.
March 2005
either Italy of Alaska
Because her mother, Renee, married Phil, a minor leuge baseball player so she decides to move to Forks with Charlie.
Forks
Bella's mother, Renee, used to live in Arizona with Bella, and new husband and baseball player Phil Dwyer. After Bella's move to Forks to live with her father, Renee and Phil move to Florida where they remain for the rest of the books, if you don't count when Renee came to Forks twice for a visit.
They'd have to move very far away. is that bad if the cullens ever got exposed in the movie twilight?
