Moving in Mars Borough
Mars is a compact borough with a population of roughly 1,700, surrounded by the residential growth of Adams Township. The borough has a walkable downtown centered on Grand Avenue and Pittsburgh Street, with small shops, restaurants, and community buildings. The housing stock in the borough itself dates primarily to the late 1800s and early 1900s, with two-story frame homes, narrow lots, and street-front properties that sit close to the sidewalk.
Moving in Mars borough is different from moving in the surrounding Cranberry Township subdivisions. The older homes have narrower stairways, smaller doorways, and less clearance between houses. Street parking is the norm in the downtown core, and our movers plan truck placement carefully to stay close to the front door without blocking the street. The borough hosts the Mars Applefest each fall, and move dates during that weekend require extra planning around road closures and parking restrictions in the downtown area.
Moving Services We Offer in Mars

A local move from Mars covers Butler County and the surrounding communities of Adams Township, Cranberry Township, Evans City, Zelienople, and the northern Allegheny County suburbs. Our movers load your furniture, boxes, and appliances, transport them to the new address, and place everything in the rooms you choose. We bring quilted moving pads, dollies, and straps for every job. Most local moves in the Mars area are completed in a single day.
Long-Distance and Interstate Moving
Mars connects to I-79 and the Pennsylvania Turnpike through Cranberry Township, about 5 miles west on Route 228. From there, you have direct highway access to Pittsburgh, Erie, Ohio, and the eastern Pennsylvania corridor. Central Van Lines coordinates long-distance shipments through our Allied Van Lines agency network. Your shipment is inventoried at pickup, tracked in transit, and delivered within the window we set.

Specialty Moving
Many of the older Mars homes contain furniture and belongings that have been in the family for generations. Our movers handle pianos, antiques, china cabinets, and other heavy or fragile items with quilted pads, custom crating, and careful handling through the tight stairways and doorways of the borough's older housing.
Storage
If your new home is not ready on move-out day, we store your belongings at our warehouse facilities. Items are wrapped, padded, and placed in secure vault containers. Storage is available short-term or long-term.
What Movers in Mars Run Into
Older Housing with Tight Access
The homes in Mars borough date to the late 1800s and early 1900s. Interior stairways are narrow and steep. Doorways are shorter and tighter than modern construction. Second-floor bedrooms often have low ceilings at the eaves. Our movers bring furniture sliders, stair-climbing dollies, and disassembly tools as standard equipment when working in the borough. If a dresser or bed frame will not fit through a doorway assembled, we take it apart, move it through, and reassemble it in the room.
Street Parking and Truck Placement
Most homes in the Mars downtown core do not have driveways. Parking is on-street, and the streets are narrower than in the surrounding subdivisions. Our movers plan truck placement before move day, arriving early to secure a loading position close to the front door. On the tightest streets, we use a smaller truck and shuttle loads to a larger vehicle staged nearby.
Applefest and Community Events
Mars hosts the annual Applefest in October, which closes streets in the downtown core and draws large crowds. Moves scheduled during Applefest weekend need to account for road closures and parking restrictions. We flag this during the scheduling process and recommend alternative dates when possible.
