JOHN EGAN
Village of Waters Edge
Neighborhood Representative Spotlight
This month, we’re pleased to spotlight John Egan who represents Waters Edge. After moving from Woonsocket, Rhode Island in 2025, John and his wife, Tina, are proud to call Waters Edge home.
“I’m excited to serve our neighborhood and help foster a positive and informed community,” John, a retired professional firefighter shared. He admits that at first, however, the move to an unfamiliar area felt daunting. Concerns about navigating a new community, finding places to shop, making new friends, and leaving longtime friends and family behind were on his mind.
“Once we arrived and settled in, though,” John added, “many of those concerns disappeared. The Villages made purchasing a new home an easy and welcoming experience and an abundance of resources available to new residents — including The Villages Homeowners Advocates (VHA) — helped make the transition smoother and more comfortable.”
John shared that he and Tina quickly connected with neighbors and built new friendships through a variety of activities. They are involved in a quilting group and John participates in the Drone Flyers Club, the Smokers & Grillers Club, and the VHS Booster Club.
John said his role also allows him to foster stronger social connections and maintain an open line of communication between residents and The VHA, ensuring neighbors feel heard, informed, and engaged.
