relocated

Moved somewhere new

Relocated is the past tense of relocate, meaning to move to a new place.

People relocate for jobs, relationships, or fresh starts: We relocated to Denver last spring.

Businesses relocate operations, sometimes to cut costs.

The word sounds more deliberate than simply "moved"—it suggests planning and permanence rather than casual change of address.
