There are many reasons residents move. This is an aging population. With that comes death of a spouse, illness, responsible for the care of elderly parents, home too large to maintain due to older age, divorce, needs have changed, child (over age 19) moves in to help their aging parent, or child moves in because they need assistance, (In both cases, a larger home may be needed), downsizing, moving closer to relatives/friends, need to be closer to medical facilities...the list goes on and on.

After 17 yrs in the same home in the Villlages, we moved because many of the homes in the neighborhood became rentals. Dealing with strangers (renters) day in and day out became too much for us.
