In summary, it seems to be the minority that take to Yelp to voice their opinions. The waiting list to get into this community is long. If this place really were as bad as the reviews make it out to be, there wouldn't be people lining up to get one of these units and the year wait mentioned in a 1-star review would not exist.

CenturyCommunities Sad to say at one point I thought this might make be a good deal, but East Garrison and I am guessing Century Communities has some very shady businesses practices. They don't tell you up front about the Mellow Roos which is about They ask you to pre qualify for loan even if you are paying cash, this made no sense to myself and one of the loan agents they work with. Price increases without notification which seems to be the biggest scam of all.

Say you sign up to buy a house and they tell you it might be 1 month to maybe 1 year you will be on the waiting list, but what they don't tell you is while you are waiting on your house to be built they can increase the price. I was told this "From what I can tell, our managers believe we are under priced considering the demand we are experiencing - Nancy". So at the time it was worth this and you sign up to to be a buyer, but wait we just increased the price of the home by over 50k because we under priced them It's Dishonest, Greedy, Shady and receptively makes the people at East Garrison and Century Communities places you don't want to deal with in the future.

The waiting list, such a joke OK so you have how many units that will be built and of course the question would be how long before I might see my home built and have to wait, Nope it doesn't work that way, we need to cast some shady drama into the mix like Ummm I am not sure how many people are in front of you on the waiting list, they do it by date signed up, OK can you sort by date and then count the number of people waiting for that model home I mean really how do they know who is next on the list..

Benchmark Homes At East Garrison

Ummm well what I can tell you is that xxx number of homes will be built and we have no way of knowing Over all I have to say Century Communities will be marked off my list of companies to deal with and reading the notes from other people I think a legal firm should look into the unfair practices of this location and people since Century Communities doesn't seem to be, besides they can't even update they website showing which models are sold our or not Be very careful if about buying a home from Century Communities.

They misled us about the dimensions of the lot and by the time we figured it out it was too late to do anything about it. Furthermore the base price is rarely what you will wind up paying, additional cost is added on for every little thing you can think of. The lack of transparency in purchasing this house has turned what was an exciting prospect into a bitter experience.

This community is quiet, relaxing, great neighbors, and fun to walk and ride bikes around. It will really be fun with the library and city center.

After looking at never ending fixer uppers we wouldn't be able to afford fixing, this was a nice option. Pay the Melo Roos upfront when you buy for the best deal. It takes research but it can be done. That HOA is cheaper than other developments around. If you buy a builders model for sale, sometimes there is a discount on the upgrades. So far we like it but it is important to be a involved homeowner too and join in on community meetings and join next door neighbor.

East Garrison, near Marina is California's newest community. Benchmark Homes is building over 1, new single family homes, townhomes and condominiums on a bluff overlooking the Salinas Valley within the old Fort Ord Army base grounds. There are over a dozen model homes open with more models opening soon. As a prospective home buyer within the East Garrison community my wife and I have taken a keen interest in the project. What we have discovered is the homes are quality built.

The neighborhood hosts at least six community parks and a huge sports park in the middle of the development.

One current resident I have come to know appreciates the close proximity to hiking trails within neighboring Fort Ord National Monument. The new community is unincorporated and loosely attached to nearby Marina.

No one I've talked to has ruled out East Garrison as potentially California's newest incorporated township. I recently went into the Sales Office at Benchmark communities in East Garrison and had a horrible experience. There was a woman well passed retirement age who was very crass and unprofessional, only to be tossed over to Nancy who was even more rude and unprofessional.

The homes are poorly constructed, cheaply made-small lot sizes, no yards. An overall bad experience. Buy elsewhere- we will.

Our experience was very positive and every person from Century Communitie s that we w The sales staff especiall y Laura - Thank you! We used Blue Adobe Mortgage who were wonderful and the two companies worked together seamlessly. I think it's really important for anyone here who is reading these reviews and hesitant to buy at EG because of the mello roos tax or the HOA to understand that the price of homes are relative to these costs.

The asking price of homes in EG are lower than in other developmen ts because of these costs. It is also the market that dictates value, not the developer, so the extreme demand at EG is what is allowing the builder to increase prices.

No one is taking advantage of anyone or pulling the wool over anyone's eyes. I found the staff to be very transparen t and upfront with us. I must note though - it is a process and you must be proactive if you want to buy here! Do your research, get pre-approv ed and get on the list now if you want to have a chance! But back to our house!!

SO well made and the finishes are perfect! I got the sense that they really care about our happiness, the quality of the workmanshi p and reputation of their company. Thank you guys for all that you've done for us! I hope this review helps anyone who has doubts that East Garrison isn't a solid investment and a wonderful place to buy and live! I love it here. The house designs are so different and unique. It feels like a village. I love being near the Fort Ord trail access and the weather here seems to be mild and less foggy. I'm retired now, but for 34 years I was in charge of approving all the residentia l constructi on in Pebble Beach, so I know top end design and constructi on.

Loving the East Garrison community, we have been working with Laura and so far our experience has been positive. We did not have to register before viewing the models as others have stated, but I unde The only negative that I see thus far is the stinking mello roos tax, we have viewed other Benchmark communitie s who do not have the tax, but we worry about the daily commute. Hoping the tax doesn't price us out of the community: We are still looking for our dream home.
