근처 implies a bigger area, that something is in the area. 가까이 more so implies that fact that something is very close or near.

when i asked my friend she just told me 가까이 is "near" and 근처 is more like "around", closer in meaning to 주위

+1 for this. From my experience living in Korea i have never heard someone refer to their home using 제 집/내 집 but always 우리 집. Much more of a collective culture.

I know English articles are difficult, but in most sentences, both "a" and "the" should be acceptable. Not just either/or.
