From Wikipedia:
Levittown is a census-designated place (CDP) and planned community in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. It is part of the Philadelphia metropolitan area. The population was 52,983 at the 2010 census. It is 40 feet (12 m) above sea level. Though not a municipality, it is sometimes recognized as the largest suburb of Philadelphia[5] (while Upper Darby Township, Lower Merion Township, Bensalem Township, Abington Township and Bristol Township are municipalities larger in size in the three surrounding Pennsylvania counties). Starting with land purchased in 1951, it was planned and built by Levitt & Sons. The brothers William Levitt and architect Alfred Levitt designed its six typical houses.
Levittown is located 72.5 miles (116.7 km) southeast of Allentown and 26.6 miles (42.8 km) northeast of Philadelphia.

    That whole entire area looks alien to me now. My parents bought brand new in 53' Holly hill section 52 hollyhock. I moved out in 79' and graduated and moved to coastal south Carolina my parents moved out after my father retired from Conrail and reading. Sold in 82' raised 5 kids in that jubilee house. Thanks for the video!

    Thanks for the ride, Mike! I looked down at my tablet and I saw that a video about Levittown, Pa was about to start. My family moved into a house on Gable Hill Road in 1979 or maybe it was 1978. We came from Elizabeth, NJ, Bayway section, in the Burbs… You passed by Goldenridge section, where I lived, going down Edgely Road, early into the video. It really was nice to ride with you all around the Levittown area… I now live in Reading Pa. There’s no nice, wide streets in this city, Mike… I wonder if you’ve got a video driving around Reading Pa? ❤😊

    It is said that Levittown Long Island was the test project for what would eventually be Levittown PA. After the Levitts finished the project in Long Island, they sought to do a bigger project which would become Levittown Pennsylvania. The Levitts also built Willingboro NJ which shares some similarities with the other Levittowns.
