While browsing on the in=ternet, I came across some trivia about Levittown, I thought I would share.
Levittown's 41 neighborhoods - locally called "sections" - are found in parts of four separate municipalities: Bristol Township, Pennsylvania (including the sections of Plumbridge, Mill Creek, Indian Creek, Goldenridge, Blue Ridge, Whitewood, Orangewood, Yellowood, Violetwood, Red Cedar Hill, Apple Tree Hollow, Holly Hill, Crabtree Hollow, Oaktree Hollow, Greenbrook, Farmbrook, Dogwood Hollow, Junewood, Magnolia Hill, and most of Kenwood and Stonybrook, and a small part of Birch Valley, Falls Township, Pennsylvania including the sections of Vermilion Hills, Thornridge, Elderberry Pond, North Park, Willow Wood, and portions of Pinewood, Lakeside and most of Birch Valley, Middletown Township, Pennsylvania including the sections of Deep Dale East, Deep Dale West, Highland Park, Twin Oaks, Forsythia Gate, Snowball Gate, Red Rose Gate, Upper Orchard, Lower Orchard, Juniper Hill, Cobalt Ridge and Quincy Hollow, and the Borough of Tullytown, Pennsylvania including portions of Stonybrook, Kenwood, Pinewood and Lakeside.
The names of the streets within each section uniformly begin with the same letter that begins the name of the section in question, a plan that offers a good clue as to where any particular street might be located. "X" and "Z" are not used for section or street names. As there are more than 24 section names, "road" is used for street names in sections to the west of Edgely Road, "lanes" are found in those section to the east. Red Rose Gate, Forsythia Gate, and Snowball Gate are collectively known as "The Gates." (These were the only sections without sidewalks so as to lend a more "executive" appearance to the neighborhoods.) Lakeside sits next to Lake Levittown. Magnolia Hill is on a prominent hill. Mill Creek is found next to a creek by the same name.
Middletown residents are served by public schools run by the Neshaminy School District. Bristol Township public schools are managed by the Bristol Township School District, while residents of Falls Township and Tullytown Borough are served by the Pennsbury School District.Levittown is in Bucks County, in the Philadelphia-Camden metro area.
