Community Overview
A Large, Socially Active 55+ Community in Columbus
Four Seasons at Mapleton is one of the larger 55+ communities in Burlington County, with 428 single-family homes spread across a quiet, wooded setting in Columbus (Mansfield Township). Built in phases between 2001 and 2006, the community offers newer-construction homes with modern floor plans and low-maintenance living that appeals to active adults looking to downsize or right-size.
