Levittown has long been famous for its large, planned community concept that began in the 1950s. At the peak of the planned community building process, there were more than 17,000 ranch and Cape Cod homes constructed from 1952 to 1958. Levittown was once an affordable middle-class town, the epitome of the American Dream with its post-war, cost-effective starter homes. However, as with many communities across America, first–time home buyers are being priced out, as even the smaller houses here are going between the high $300,000s and high $400,000s! Even in Bristol Township (1 of the 4 communities that make up Levittown), which was always one of the least expensive of the 4 communities, many of the homes are selling for over $500,000. The dearth of new homes being built is part of the affordability issue.

Much of this home pricing issue is due to the continued popularity of Levittown. Built without basements, Levittown was called a “cool city”, as the builders hated the summer heat-trapping effects of concrete in towns and cities, so they made sure lawns surrounded every house they built.  Falls Park is a wonderful place for people who like the outdoors. The park is built around the 75-acre crystal-clear Fall’s Lake. There is a 2–mile green paved trail around the lake for walkers and bikers, along with 2 large playgrounds, a beach volleyball court, roller skating, picnic areas, and more. The lake is a wonderful place for fishing, and Driftwood Water Adventures offers paddleboarding, canoe, and kayak tours, along with kayak, canoe,e and boat rentals.

Levittown Cuisine

Levittown is also very popular due to its wide array of bars, pubs, and taverns. Yelp users voted Sparky’s World Famous as the “Best Dive Bar in Bucks County”. Adorned with palm trees and string lights, Sparky’s has a regularly scheduled entertainment lineup of karaoke nights, dance parties, open mic nights, and game nights. Also, Curly’s Comfort Foods was named one of the best spots in the Philadelphia region for cheesesteaks by Northjersey.com, and earlier this year Curly’s was named the winner of the Philadelphia Beautiful Cheesesteak Competition! This massive sandwich is made using a technique where the meat is layered, then cheese, then another layer of meat, followed by more cheese. Onions are cut perfectly and then everything is put in a soft, seeded roll.

Other wonderful stops for food, drinks, and entertainment include Gleason’s Bar, Baileys Bar & Grill, Gilligan’s Irish Pub, Hurricane Jack’s Bar & Restaurant, McStews Irish Sports Pub, Pasquales Bar, and The Five Four Bar & Grille.
