Apartments in Mars, PA — near Seven Fields & Cranberry Township
Quincy Lofts sits in Adams Township at 2000 Roxsan Dr, Mars, PA 16046 — on the Butler County line between Seven Fields and Cranberry Township, a straight shot down PA-228 to Westinghouse's world headquarters and I-79, with downtown Pittsburgh about 30 minutes south.
Quincy Lofts sits in Adams Township, Butler County, right on the line between Mars, Seven Fields, and Cranberry Township, within the Mars Area School District. This is a commute-first address: PA-228 runs directly from the property through Seven Fields to Cranberry Township's office and retail corridor in under 10 minutes, and the same road feeds I-79 at Exit 78 for the run south into Pittsburgh. Renters choosing this corner of Butler County are choosing it because of where they work, not because of a walkable main street — Mars, Seven Fields, and Cranberry Township all register as car-dependent, and the daily routine here is built around a short, predictable drive rather than a walk to the corner coffee shop.
The rental market across this stretch of Butler County has been tightening as Cranberry Township's employment base grows and Adams Township and Seven Fields fill in around it. The township reports more than 20,500 jobs and over 1,000 businesses within its borders, and its population has climbed past 35,000 as employers like Westinghouse Electric Company continue to anchor the area — a submarket in growth mode, not a stagnant one. Quincy Lofts, as new construction with a quartz-and-stainless finish package throughout, positions at the newer, better-equipped end of the local rental market.
A typical weekday from Quincy Lofts starts with a short drive rather than a walk: the Cranberry Township retail corridor, including Cranberry Commons and The Streets of Cranberry, is about 10 minutes down PA-228 through Seven Fields for coffee or breakfast at First Watch. Westinghouse's Cranberry Woods headquarters and UPMC Passavant–Cranberry are both roughly the same 10-minute drive, and I-79 is reachable in under 10 minutes for anyone continuing south toward Pittsburgh — a trip that typically runs 30 to 35 minutes depending on traffic. Evenings and weekends lean on Adams Township Community Park just minutes away, or the fuller lineup of restaurants, shopping, and entertainment concentrated along the PA-228/Route 19 corridor in Cranberry Township and Seven Fields.
Built around the Cranberry Township & Seven Fields commute
Westinghouse Electric Company's world headquarters sits in the Cranberry Woods office park, employing engineers, project managers, and corporate staff across a campus built for nuclear power systems and services. The company is Butler County's largest single employer and one of the primary reasons the Cranberry Township corridor has kept adding jobs even as other suburban office markets have flattened.
From Quincy Lofts, the drive to Westinghouse HQ is a straight run down PA-228 West, about 10 minutes with no highway merge required. Residents skip the I-79 congestion that commuters from communities further south or east typically sit through during the 7–9 a.m. window, since this route stays on PA-228 the entire way.
UPMC Passavant's Cranberry campus sits at the intersection of I-79 and the Pennsylvania Turnpike, combining a 33-bed hospital with medical office buildings, an emergency heliport, and outpatient services for Butler County. It draws nurses, physicians, technicians, and administrative staff on rotating shifts around the clock, along with the surrounding medical office tenants that have grown up around the campus.
The drive from Quincy Lofts is the same PA-228 West route as the Westinghouse commute, about 10 minutes door to door. For shift workers dealing with early mornings or late nights, that short, highway-free drive matters more than it does for a standard 9-to-5 — there's no I-79 backup to navigate at 6 a.m. or 11 p.m.
AHN Primary Care Mars sits inside a Crider Rd medical office building that also houses Allegheny Health Network primary care, internal medicine, neurology, and neurosurgery practices. It's a smaller, local-scale healthcare employer compared to the Cranberry hospital campus, employing physicians, nurses, and administrative staff who work closer to home rather than commuting to a full hospital.
From Quincy Lofts, this is the shortest commute on the list — about 4 minutes on local roads, with no highway merge or through-traffic involved. For staff working here, it's about as close as an employer address gets.
Beyond Westinghouse and UPMC, the Cranberry Township corridor along Route 19 and PA-228 is home to a dense mix of logistics, software, and professional services firms — companies like TrueCommerce and PLS Logistics Services are headquartered here — alongside the retail base that makes the township Butler County's largest municipality by both population and job count.
From Quincy Lofts, the corridor is about 12 minutes via PA-228 West to US-19, putting residents inside one of the region's most active suburban job centers without the price premium or traffic density of Pittsburgh's inner suburbs. For renters working anywhere in the corridor, this is close enough to skip a highway commute entirely most days.
Chatham University's Eden Hall Campus in Gibsonia is a 388-acre sustainability-focused campus and home to the Falk School of Sustainability & Environment, employing faculty, researchers, and administrative staff alongside its undergraduate and graduate student population studying renewable energy, sustainable agriculture, and environmental science.
From Quincy Lofts, Eden Hall is about 17 minutes via local roads — a suburb-to-suburb drive rather than a highway commute, which makes it a practical option for faculty and staff who want to live outside the city without adding a Pittsburgh commute on top of it.
Penn Power Group runs a fleet service and generator center at its Cranberry Township location, part of a multi-state network providing heavy-duty truck repair, generator sales and service, and fleet maintenance for commercial operators. The Cranberry location keeps extended hours to support fleets running outside standard business hours.
From Quincy Lofts, the Cranberry Township service center is about 15 minutes via PA-228 and US-19 — close enough for technicians and staff working early, late, or overnight shifts outside the typical 9-to-5 window.
For residents whose work is based downtown rather than in the Cranberry corridor, Pittsburgh's central business district is about 18 miles south of Quincy Lofts, reachable via I-79 S. It's not a walk-to-transit commute — this is a highway drive — but it's a direct one, with no local street navigation required once you're on I-79.
Typical drive time runs 30 to 35 minutes depending on traffic, which compares favorably to commutes from communities further out in Butler County. Residents who occasionally need downtown access, rather than commuting there daily, get that flexibility without giving up the lower-density, lower-cost setting that Mars and Cranberry Township offer.

Mars, Seven Fields & Cranberry Township rentals — what to expect
Rental demand across Mars, Seven Fields, Adams Township, and Cranberry Township has stayed strong as the local employment base keeps growing — Cranberry Township alone reports more than 20,500 jobs and over 1,000 businesses, with population climbing past 35,000. Rents across this stretch of Butler County have trended upward in step with that job growth, with the newest construction commanding the top of the local market and older buildings and condo-style rentals anchoring the lower end.
Much of the existing apartment stock across Mars, Seven Fields, and Cranberry Township was built in the 2000s or earlier. Quincy Lofts is new construction, which means quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and in-home washers and dryers as the standard finish in every home, plus amenities — a pickleball court, EV charging, and a dedicated pet grooming room — that aren't common in the area's older rental communities. For renters comparing options across Adams Township and Butler County, Quincy Lofts positions as the newest, most amenity-complete product in the corridor at this location.
What renters ask about this corridor
What types of homes are available near Quincy Lofts in Mars, PA?
Housing across Mars, Seven Fields, Adams Township, and Cranberry Township is a mix of single-family homes, condo-style rental communities, and apartment communities, with the age and finish level varying widely from block to block — some of the area's existing rental stock dates to the 2000s or earlier, while newer construction has been filling in along the PA-228 corridor.
Quincy Lofts adds one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartment homes to that mix, all new construction with quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and in-home laundry standard throughout. Visit the floor plans page or call (724) 723-1942 for current availability.
Are there apartments near UPMC Passavant–Cranberry?
Yes. Quincy Lofts is about 10 minutes from UPMC Passavant–Cranberry at 1 St. Francis Way, via a direct drive down PA-228 West with no highway merge required. The route stays on PA-228 the entire way, which means shift workers avoid the I-79 congestion that commuters from communities further out typically encounter during early-morning or late-night drives.
That same PA-228 route also reaches Westinghouse's Cranberry Woods headquarters and the broader Cranberry Township office and retail corridor in roughly the same 10 to 12 minutes, making Quincy Lofts a practical option for anyone working at or near the UPMC Passavant campus.
What is walkable from Quincy Lofts in Mars, PA?
While Mars, Seven Fields, and Adams Township register as car-dependent overall, Quincy Lofts sits within walking distance of a real day-to-day lineup: Giant Eagle for groceries, Starbucks, and The Shoppes at Adams Ridge, home to Convive Coffee Roastery, Mamacita's Mexican Bistro & Cocktails, Speers Steakhouse, Yama Sushi, and Anytime Fitness.
That covers coffee, a grocery run, dinner out, and a gym session without getting in the car — a rare combination for this stretch of Butler County, where most other errands and the broader Cranberry Township retail and dining corridor still call for a short drive.
What is the difference between Mars, Seven Fields, and Adams Township?
Mars is a small borough with its own walkable downtown; Seven Fields is a borough that sits between Mars and Cranberry Township, largely residential with its own local retail; and Adams Township is the surrounding township in Butler County where Quincy Lofts is actually located, even though the property carries a Mars, PA mailing address. All three sit within a few minutes of each other along PA-228, and residents in practice treat them as one connected corridor rather than separate destinations.
For a renter searching by any of these names, the practical answer is the same: Quincy Lofts is within a 10-minute drive of all three, plus Cranberry Township just beyond them.
What is it like to live in Mars, PA?
Mars sits in Adams Township on the Butler County side of the Pittsburgh metro, within the Mars Area School District, with a small walkable downtown of its own and quick access to the larger retail and job centers along PA-228 in Seven Fields and Cranberry Township. The pace is suburban and car-oriented — PA-228 is the main connector, tying local roads into the I-79 corridor and Route 8 — with Adams Township Community Park and the borough's own parks covering everyday outdoor recreation.
For residents commuting into Cranberry Township or continuing on to Pittsburgh, Mars functions as a lower-density, lower-cost home base in Butler County, a short drive from both.
How far is Quincy Lofts from downtown Pittsburgh?
Quincy Lofts is about 18 miles from downtown Pittsburgh, a drive of roughly 30 to 35 minutes via I-79 South depending on traffic. There's no fixed rail line serving Mars or Cranberry Township directly; residents who need transit access typically drive about 8 minutes to the Cranberry Park and Ride Lot on Dutilh Rd in Cranberry Township and take a weekday commuter bus into the city from there.
For most residents, the daily draw is the closer commute — Westinghouse, UPMC Passavant–Cranberry, and the Cranberry Township corridor are all about 10 to 12 minutes away — with downtown Pittsburgh as an occasional, rather than daily, drive.
What amenities does Quincy Lofts offer in Mars, PA?
Quincy Lofts offers a resort-style pool with lounge seating, a dedicated pickleball court, an on-site dog park and pet grooming room, and EV charging, alongside a clubroom, resident lounge, and outdoor courtyard with a fire pit.
