Hear it in context
Notice where the phrase sounds natural.
We’re going to move in next weekend, once the painting is finished.
I remember when I first moved in to my university dormitory. It was exciting but also a bit scary because everything was new.
Fix the pattern
One small grammar move makes it sound right.
Not: When did you move in your new house?
Say: When did you move into your new house?
With the place named, use 'move INTO'; bare 'move in' has no object.
Which sounds natural?
Tap the one a native speaker would say.
'Move in' is the everyday verb; 'taking up residence' is legal/formal.
