You could also say, "I've been living here for five years." There isn't anything special happening there.

Most of the time you can use both Present Perfect and Present Perfect Continuous and it would mean the same. I've lived here for 5 years. I've been living here for 5 years. I've worked as a teacher for 10 years. I've been working as a teacher for 10 years. When you want to emphasize the finished action, then you need to use Present Perfect. I've been cooking since I got home. (Here the emphasis is on the action) I've cooked two pans of dishes since I got home. (Here the emphasis is on the finished part, the result of the action.)
