settled in

Made oneself home

Settled in describes the state of having become comfortable and established in a new place or situation.

After moving, you're settled in once boxes are unpacked and routines take hold: Give me a call once you're settled in.

The phrase suggests the transition period is over—adjustment complete, normalcy achieved.
