Do we say "a location closes to another location"? For example "This apartment closes to expressway".

No. I don't even know what it's supposed to mean.
 
You can say the apartment IS CLOSE to the expressway.

The word CLOSES is a verb, not an adverb. It's a form of the verb TO CLOSE. It has nothing to do with the adverb and adjective CLOSE.

They are also pronounced differently.
 
Or near/next to, etc, but never closes.

I heard someone say that. I knew it was wrong however I wanted to make sure that it was wrong.
 
It is possible if it is the adjective, "closest".

If you knew it was wrong, you had no reason to make sure. You thought it was wrong.

Yet again, you have thrown "however" into the middle of a sentence. I'm sure we said before that if you can't remember how to use the word correctly, don't use it at all.

Should it be always used in the beginning of a sentence?
 
Should it [STRIKE]be[/STRIKE] always be used [STRIKE]in[/STRIKE] at the beginning of a sentence?

No, it doesn't have to be at the start but, in your post, you put it between two standalone sentences.

I want to go to the beach this weekend. However, the weather forecast is terrible.
