New Stanton Borough contains low- to moderate-density single-family housing and some multifamily complexes, alongside highway-oriented commercial corridors and light industrial parks clustered at the I-70/I-76 junction. Education, employment, shopping, and recreation are reachable within 5–15 miles in Hempfield Township, Greensburg, Mount Pleasant, and other nearby Westmoreland County communities. Other land use includes state/municipal land such as Pennsylvania Turnpike and Interstate 70 rights-of-way, municipal facilities, and public parks, together with warehouse and distribution campuses and vacant undeveloped tracts. Notable regional influences are the Pennsylvania Turnpike–Interstate 70/6 interchange leading to Harrisburg, Pittsburgh, West Virginia and Ohio.
