Maplewood Village

Independent Assessment

Research confirms Maplewood Village as a genuine, owner-occupied, land-lease manufactured home community rather than a rental facility: residents own their homes outright and lease only the underlying lot. The 2025 UMH Properties acquisition filing is a notably strong, higher-authority source for this community -- a public REIT's acquisition disclosure describing Maplewood Village and Cedar Grove Park together as 'high-quality stabilized communities that contain all modern, homeowner-occupied, manufactured homes' with combined occupancy of 100% across 266 developed homesites on approximately 38 acres, directly corroborating the age-restricted, owner-occupied structure reported by consumer-facing directories. The community's exact recorded age-restriction rules and lease terms were not independently reviewed, and buyers should confirm current lot rent, age-verification procedures, and resale-approval rules directly with UMH Properties before purchasing a home.

Who May Find This Community Appealing

Buyers seeking newer-feeling manufactured homes with open-concept layouts and en-suite bathrooms, in a smaller, more intimate 80-lot community now backed by a large, publicly traded manufactured-housing REIT owner (UMH Properties), are a strong fit for Maplewood Village.

Homes, Builders & Development History

The exact establishment year and original developer of Maplewood Village were not found. The community comprises approximately 80 home sites with modern manufactured homes featuring 2 to 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, open-concept floor plans, spacious eat-in kitchens, walk-in closets, en-suite bathrooms, a private yard, and an 8x10 storage shed included with each home. In 2025, UMH Properties, Inc., a publicly traded manufactured-housing REIT, completed acquisition of Maplewood Village together with the neighboring Cedar Grove Park community for a combined $24.6 million.

Current Pricing & Market Positioning

No reliable current home resale price range for Maplewood Village was located. Buyers should request current available homes and recent closed comparables directly from the UMH Properties community office (maplewoodvillage@umh.com) or a local agent familiar with manufactured-home sales in the Mantua area.

New Construction vs. Resale Considerations

All homes currently available at Maplewood Village are resale within the existing 80-lot footprint, though the community's homes are generally described as more modern than typical of an older manufactured-home park. Buyers should budget for a full inspection of the specific manufactured home, confirm UMH Properties' current rules on home age and condition for resale approval, and request the current lot-rent schedule and any planned increases before purchasing.

Taxes, Insurance & Special Assessments

Because homeowners at Maplewood Village own their manufactured home but not the underlying land (owned by UMH Properties), property tax treatment differs from a typical site-built home; buyers should confirm with the Mantua Township Tax Assessor's office whether a specific home is taxed as real or personal property and what the applicable rate and any manufactured-home-specific rules are. Buyers should also confirm current eligibility for any applicable New Jersey senior/disabled property tax relief programs, since rules for land-lease manufactured homes can differ from site-built homes.

Community Layout & Lifestyle

Maplewood Village offers an intimate, 80-lot, land-lease manufactured-home setting for active retirees, with modern open-concept home layouts and a community clubhouse supporting resident engagement. Day-to-day site operations are handled by UMH Properties rather than a resident-run HOA board.

Shopping, Healthcare & Airport Access

Maplewood Village is located at 200 Tony Circle in Mantua Township, Gloucester County, New Jersey, 08051. Mantua's proximity to Route 45 and Route 55 makes it practical for residents who need regular access to nearby towns or who travel regionally, with convenient access to regional shopping, dining, and medical services.

Age Qualification & Material Ownership Restrictions

Maplewood Village is consistently described across multiple sources, including a 2025 UMH Properties REIT acquisition disclosure, as an age-restricted 55-and-older manufactured home community. The community's exact recorded age-restriction rules and lease terms were not independently reviewed; buyers should confirm current age-qualification and verification requirements directly with UMH Properties before purchasing or applying for residency.

Tradeoffs & Limitations

Because Maplewood Village operates on a land-lease model, buyers should understand that they will own their home but not the underlying land, meaning monthly lot rent is a permanent, potentially rising cost separate from any purchase price and does not build land equity. The community's founding year and original developer were not confirmed, and a reliable current home resale price range was not found; buyers should request this information directly from UMH Properties or a local agent.

Comparison With Nearby Communities

Within Mantua Township, Maplewood Village is directly comparable to the neighboring, larger Cedar Grove Park -- both are land-lease manufactured home communities now owned by UMH Properties following the 2025 combined acquisition -- with Maplewood Village the smaller of the two at approximately 80 sites versus Cedar Grove Park's approximately 196, and generally more modern individual home finishes based on available descriptions. Buyers wanting a conventional, deeded single-family or ranch home rather than a land-lease manufactured home should compare Maplewood Village against Spring Valley, also in Mantua Township.
