This term is used on my grandfather's birth certificate. He was born in Budapest on August 26 1900.

residing in/at
Explanation:
This is natural flow of words when translating Hungarian birth or marriage certificates.
You use "at" when a full address is given, and you use "in" when the locality is given. The term residence is also good, but it refers to the dwelling, while the "residing in/at" refers to the address.
