East Gate is a collection of 68 ultra-luxe residences created by developer RPM Development Group at Fort Monmouth.  The vibrant neighborhood is almost completely sold out and home to more than 60 families, according to Coldwell Banker New Homes of Madison, NJ, its exclusive sales and marketing agent.  The trailblazing community is the first residential component in the repositioning of the 1,126-acre former U.S. Army post into Monmouth County’s premier live/work/play neighborhood. 

At East Gate, homeowners enjoy residing in an inviting neighborhood where residents can be found strolling along completed sidewalks and mature trees dot the landscape.  There’s also the one-acre East Gate Park which includes pedestrian pathways, benches, newly-seeded lawns, seasonal flowers and shrubbery and a modernized lightning/lantern package.  The centerpiece of the park is a monument that pays homage to the storied history of Fort Monmouth. What’s more, residents delight in the majesty and natural beauty of Parkers Creek which is home to a wealth of outdoor activities.
