Default gas lines in attic

In the Villages, and indeed most of Florida and most of the South for that matter, there are no crawl spaces or basements. Slabs can settle and that makes gas line installation in the slab dangerous and also expensive to find leaks. Do a search on gas lines and you should find other and better explanations than mine. Most houses I've lived in the South have attic lines for just about everything - many have furnaces and ductwork in the attics as well.
