I know a Norwegian who was detained in secondary twice for failing to update his address.
As such, while it’s not required, you should update it as soon as you know the new address.
Had the same question a few weeks ago, but no. It doesn’t matter, as long as you have your ESTA and it’s valid, you are good to go.
No, you don’t have to do so.
The official line, from the CBP FAQ page on the VWP and ESTA:
Q:
Can prospective travelers apply for an ESTA without specific travel
plans if they want to be able to travel to the United States later on
short notice?A:
Yes. VWP travelers are not required to have specific plans to travel
to the United States before they apply for an ESTA. If a traveler’s
destination in the United States is unknown when he or she completes
the ESTA application, the traveler should enter “Unknown.” Travelers
may update this information when their plans are finalized, but they
will not be required to update their destination addresses or
itineraries should they change after their ESTA application has been
approved. DHS recommends that ESTA applications be submitted as early
as possible, as soon as, or even before travel is planned. ESTA will
accept applications from last-minute and emergency travelers – those
VWP travelers who arrive at the airport without an approved ESTA.
In my personal experience no. I’ve been to the US three times staying in different locations without altering the address. Although full disclosure, I’m not sure if that’s ok, it is my personal experience.
