Community Overview
Modern Low-Maintenance Living in Bordentown Township
Greenbriar Horizons is one of the more recent 55+ communities in Burlington County, built from 2004 through 2006 by U.S. Homes. With 240 single-family homes set along quiet, tree-lined streets, the community offers a distinctly modern active adult lifestyle with low-maintenance living and a clubhouse that functions as the social heart of the neighborhood.

Most floor plans include roughly 1,880 square feet of living space with 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, first-floor master suites, and attached 2-car garages.
