Here is how you'd say it correctly:

"ich habe zweieinhalb Jahre lang in ________ gelebt".

Now, if it was about the *TOWN* you lived in, you would exchange the verb! Then it would be "gewohnt".

Yes, we use different words for "to live in", depending whether it is about the country or the village/town

Native German here!

Unfortunately the 2 previous answers are wrong, they must stem from a babbelfish sort of translating machine.

Now, I hope this was not Germany you have lived in for 2 and a half years, because if it was, it would put you to shame not speaking the language by now!!!!!

You can say: Ich habe in ....... gelebt für 2 1/2 (zweieinhalb) Jahre.
or also: Ich habe für 2 1/2 Jahre in ......... gelebt.

I don't consider that is correct
