What is correct:

1. The distance between our houses is far apart
2. The distance between our houses is big
3. The distance between our houses is long

#3 is OK. I don't find it very natural, though.

"My house is a long way from his."
"Our houses are far apart."

 

[Tdol]

If I followed your pattern, I'd use something like The distance between our houses is considerable. However, Raymott's sentences are more natural.

Bridge78, no sentence can be correct without a final punctuation mark.
