More than 100 years, if ever. I am talking about people with families living there for their whole lives and not just a permanent a base, like the present day base at the south pole, where workers spend a year there and then go home, because that isn't living.

Good question.
First, Mars is not habitable. Humans would die if we didn't have space suits. Even if we could walk on Mars in space suits, we would virtually melt in the daytime and freeze in the night time.
The chance of us living on Mars is far off, maybe hundreds of years for the simple fact that Mars is a desolate, barren wasteland.
What researchers are discovering is that there is possibly a way of terra-forming a planet. Over time, possibly, we could change the atmosphere of Mars so it can be suitable for humans.

this is a beginners guide to what exactly terraforming is. Good luck!

For us to live on Mars, we first have to send a manned mission. And for a manned mission, there will need to be huge technological advances and the cost will be dramatic. But the major hurdle is the radiation between there and here.
