  • WELCOME: Levittown

In the Town of Hempstead in Nassau County, Long Island, New York, is the hamlet and census-designated place (CDP) known as Levittown. Situated midway between the communities of Hempstead and Farmingdale, it is a suburb of New York City. The CDP is the most populated unincorporated CDP in Nassau County and the second most populous CDP on Long Island, after Brentwood, with 51,881 people living there as of the 2010 census.

The company that constructed Levitt & Sons, Inc., which Abraham Levitt started on August 2, 1929, is credited with giving Levittown its name. From 1947 to 1951, the district was developed as a planned community for returning World War II veterans. The company’s president was William’s son, while its principal planner and architect was Alfred’s. Regarded as the prototype for postwar suburbs across the nation, Levittown was the first suburb to be mass-produced. In the United States, William Levitt, who took over as head of Levitt & Sons in 1954, is credited with founding modern suburbia.

In the past, there have been several suggestions to incorporate Levittown as the third city in Nassau County or as a village.

  • History

The construction company Levitt & Sons, directed by Abraham Levitt and his two sons, William and Alfred, constructed four “Levittown” planned communities: the first was in New York, followed by Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Puerto Rico. Furthermore, the older parts of Buffalo Grove, Illinois; Vernon Hills, Illinois; Willingboro Township, New Jersey; the Belair neighborhood of Bowie, Maryland; and the Greenbriar neighborhood of Fairfax, Virginia all have significant representations of Levitt & Sons’ designs.

The Levitt company was founded prior to World War II as a custom home builder on Long Island neighborhoods catering to the upper middle class. But the home building sector suffered under a widespread prohibition on the private use of limited raw materials throughout the war. William “Bill” Levitt gained experience in the mass-production of military housing employing uniforms and interchangeable parts while serving in the Navy in the Seabees, the service’s construction battalions. His insistence on the need for comparable mass-produced housing in the wake of the war allowed him to acquire options on vast tracts of undeveloped Long Island that were formerly home to potato and onion farms.

  • Geography

The CDP is all land, with a total area of 6.9 square miles (17.8 km2), according to the U.S. Census Bureau. It comprises portions developed by other developers and does not follow the borders set by the US Postal Service or the scope of the development constructed by Levitt & Sons.

In Nassau County, New York, there is an unincorporated area called Levittown. There are three overlapping, but non-conforming definitions for it. The Zip Code 11756 of the United States Postal Service defines Levittown as the most popular use. The extent of the Levitt & Sons development, constructed between 1947 and 1951, is another concept. The United States Census Bureau’s definition of Levittown, a Census Designated Place (CDP), ranks third.

  • Demographics

51,758 people, 16,833 households, and 14,031 families called the community home as of the 2020 US census. There were 7,598.1 people per square mile (2,933.6/km2) in the population. At an average density of 2,531.9 per square mile (977.6/km2), there were 17,447 housing units. The CDP’s racial composition was as follows: less than 0.1% Pacific Islander, less than 0.1% Native American, 1.3% Black, 9.3% Asian, and 75.7% White. Latinos, or Hispanics, of any race constituted 16.3% of the population.

18.2% of the community’s population was under the age of 18, 7.0% was between the ages of 18 and 24, 31.4% was between the ages of 25 and 44, 23.0% was between the ages of 45 and 64, and 16.5% was above the age of 65. Thirty-seven was the median age. There were 94.6 men for every 100 females. There were 91.4 males for every 100 girls over the age of 18.

  • Education

The Island Trees Union Free School District, which has around 2,574 kids, and the Levittown Union Free School District, which has about 7,380 children, are the two public school districts that largely serve Levittown. The East Meadow Union Free School District serves a tiny section of the hamlet’s northwest quadrant. Parts of Bethpage, Seaford, Plainedge, and northeastern Levittown are served by the Island Trees Union Free School District. Michael F. Stokes Elementary School, J. Fred Sparke Elementary School, Island Trees High School, and Island Trees Memorial Middle School are all located within the district.

The 1982 United States Supreme Court case Board of Education v. Pico brought Island Trees to the attention of the country. The court concluded that the school board’s removal of certain books it deemed undesirable from the high school library constituted a violation of the first amendment rights of the pupils.

Serving both North Wantagh and the northern part of Seaford, the Levittown Union Free School District is made up of six elementary schools, Abbey Lane, East Broadway, Gardiners Avenue, Lee Road, Northside, and Summit Lane; two middle schools, Wisdom Lane and Jonas Salk; one career and technical institute, Gerald R. Claps Career & Technical Center; and one high school.
