I think my hometown is the place, where I lived for fifteen years. We moved at this place when I was young(or you can use your age e.g. when I was 5 years old). I grew up there and met ["a lot of" it's informal] many good people. My hometown is("is" if your hometown still there, otherwise "was" is perfect) located near the forest and airport. I often walk with my friends(гуляли) to the village and at the river bank, there ["was" if the river has dried or filled up] is a river.
