The verse says

The same under blame and praise, quiet, satisfied with whatever comes, with no attachment to a place to live, steady in mind, full of devotion — that person is dear to me.

In plain words

Aniketaḥ — without a house. Without a fixed place.

It is the strangest item on the list, and it is the one most often read as a recommendation to wander.

It sits between contentment with whatever comes, and steadiness of mind, which suggests it is about neither houses nor travel.

Where you've felt this · in growing older

Your grandmother moved into the back room when the family grew and never mentioned it again. She had lived in that house for forty years and had views about every inch of it. When the room changed she simply began living in the new one.

Going deeper

Having no fixed dwelling is the item on this list most likely to be misapplied, and the context is what fixes its meaning.

Read literally it recommends homelessness, and some traditions have taken it that way for people who have formally renounced. But the verse is addressed to Arjuna, who has a family, a kingdom to inherit and a war to fight, and nothing in the chapter suggests he is being told to leave.

Between contentment with whatever arrives and steadiness of mind, the sense is closer to not being held up by a particular arrangement.

Which is testable without moving house. Most people have something their peace is quietly resting on — a room, a routine, a particular chair at a particular time. There is nothing wrong with any of it. The question the verse raises is only what happens to you on the day it changes.
