According to scripture, we will be raised in physical bodies which will be "glorified" bodies, similar to the physical state of Jesus after his resurrection. We're told he walked, talked and ate and so on. The book of Revelation speaks of a "new Jerusalem" and a "new earth" where believers will reside after the final judgement. I picture the new earth to be similar to the garden of eden. It makes the bible story kind of like paradise given, paradise lost because of sin, paradise restored for those who have trusted in Christ's atonement for our sins. Revelation also speaks of Jesus coming to rule the new earth and living with us there. I assume we'll all have jobs to do, homes to live in etc. As to where heaven is located now, I ask myself "how large is the universe?" and "what is beyond the edge of the universe?". My guess is that heaven is what is beyond the edge of the universe.
