Have you ever travelled somewhere or watched a movie where you could just feel how much people cared about each other? Well, that's Mars. Mars is a quant town but the energy is intimidating. Although its small, it allows for so many family friends and experiences daily. Almost all of the businesses in Mars are run by fellow neighbors, and if your lucky enough to get to drive through the town you might just happen to encounter the brick roads that remain! The most important thing about Mars, however, is not the location nor its history. Its the people. My community has taught me so many thing's and I'm so proud to call Mars my home.
A hidden gem in Southern Butler County. The borough is filled with charming houses most with good sized yards and garages. Compared to the ‘burbs where every house looks alike and you have no room to yourself, the town is amazing. Mars is on the fast track to become the Sewickley of the north.
The only negative would be the barbershop/tattoo place clientele. Not all of them of course but there are some obnoxious people. Once those businesses are gone I could see Mars thriving again. The pizza place, wing place, brewery and regular festivals are all excellent.

Small, dying town that could make use of some new leadership. No diversity. Never seen any crime or felt unsafe. The town itself receives little traffic save a few local businesses, however the surrounding areas are completely filled with White, upper-middle class suburban neighborhoods. Outside of Mars (where the local grocery shut down a few years ago), the closest place to find groceries is a 15 min drive to Seven Fields.
