Left Texas in 1996 aboard our 40' sailboat, an Island Packet, after selling house and most possessions, including cars. Lived aboard and cruised until 2002, then moved to a condo in Southeast Fl. with ocean access. Finally stopped boating in 2008 and started looking for a less costly and crowded place to live, away from direct hits from hurricanes, and with more of a "country" environment. Thought we'd go back to Texas but we didn't make it that far. Friends from Texas mentioned they had happened upon The Villages and were impressed, as were we on our first trip. We all moved here in 2008.
There are many people in The Villages who moved from other places in Florida.
