Levittown was built as 10 separate neighborhoods from 1958 to 1972.
Garfield Park - One of the earliest sections, known for its park-like setting.
Deepdale - Named after a neighborhood in Roslyn, New York, from which the Levitts drew inspiration.
Martins Beach - Features the first model homes built in Levittown, NJ, with a beach-like environment around a lake.
Summerhill - Known for its summer-like atmosphere with ample green spaces.
Windsor Park - Aimed at providing a more upscale living environment with larger homes and lots.
Somerset Park - Focused on community living with various amenities like pools and clubhouses.
Pennypacker Park - Named after a local historical figure, this area was developed with a focus on family housing.
Deerfield Park - Offered a variety of home styles, including some of the larger homes in Levittown.
Berkshire Park - Noted for its architectural diversity and community facilities.
Country Club Ridge - Developed around a golf course, providing a more exclusive feel with premium lots.
In planting his last Levittown, the developer also changed the lives of generations of home buyers, many of them young families seeking fresh air and green grass in the suburbs.
They got that in a town ultimately divided into 11 "parks," each with street names that began with the same letter, and offering schools, pools and recreation areas. Prices started, back in 1958, at $11,990 for the smallest Levitt model, the Cape Cod; about $13,000 for a rancher, and $14,500 for three- and four-bedroom Colonials, all with appliances included.
Later, several more-deluxe models were added, including the Framingham, an expanded Cape Cod with five bedrooms, and a handful of Manor Houses, stately Southern Colonials with front pillars.
In October 1963, Levittown Township's citizens voted to change its name back to Willingboro, to establish its identity apart from the other Levittowns. The move so enraged Levitt that the developer withdrew funding for building the community's schools.
