Whether it's the right time depends on a lot of things. Certainly, it's good for everyone to taste independence sooner or later; and although it's quite the norm nowadays for people to stay with their parents until their late 20s even, in some ways the longer you wait to leave home the more difficult it gets!
So leaving home is one thing; moving in with your boyfriend is another; and moving in with him in ORDER to get away from home is still another. The thing is, if you move in together and it doesn't work out, you could be in a tricky situation, emotionally and financially; and even if it works out fine, you will basically have gone from one settled home to another without finding out what you, yourself, are like.
Is there any way for you to live on your own for a bit, or even share with a friend, before settling into a steady relationship? Living alone and looking after yourself is a wonderful education - maybe everyone should try it before they settle down. Good luck anyway.

If you're twenty three it might be a better idea to try and get a place of your own rather than move in with your boyfriend. You don't sound very sure about making a move to live with him yet.
At 23 your parents might encourage you to try living independently.
no-one can predict what it's going to be like to live with another person no matter how well you know them but you wont know until you try.
If you move in with him you'll have responsibilities that you don't have at home. You need to think about sharing costs for the running of the home, sharing all household chores, shopping, washing, ironing etc. Often the romance can wear thin as real life living together kicks in.
Why not suggest that you spend so many days a week with him to begin with and share costs for those days. see how it all goes and then you can decide whether or not living together is a good idea for both of you as he needs a say in the matter too.

You are saying that now you are 23 years old. It means you are a major. You have to take decisions independently. If you feels this is the right time to move with your boyfriend, then you can move with him. If you are in a dilemma about this decision, then you can take help from your close friends or your elders and then you can take the next step.

I agree with Wordy that you cannot move in with your boyfriend just because you are feeling settled in at home. You are an adult and can make up your mind...
1. What is the real reason you want to
2. Do you believe that moving in with your boyfriend is the morally right decision? There are actual rights and wrongs in this situation - the issue is not only that you have the right to make a decision. So my advice to you is to pray about this and then make the right decision.
