Select any neighborhood or residential lot, and click the large button in the bottom-right corner with a moving truck icon. If the residential lot is already occupied, you’ll be prompted whether you want to evict the family and take their lot, or merge your current family with the target family.

If you evict the family (or if you’re choosing an unoccupied residential lot), your current family must be able to afford it. If you’re merging families, doing so will go through immediately. Once you confirm the move, it will be done immediately.
