What it's like to live in Levittown

Levittown is a large unincorporated community in Pennsylvania with household incomes running above the national average, air quality that stays clean most of the year, and schools with smaller class sizes than the national average.

Bottom line

Levittown's strongest points are household incomes running above the national average and air quality that stays clean most of the year; the main tradeoffs are a rent burden that leaves many renters stretched thin and cold winters. A year of median rent ($1,556/mo) equals 18% of the median household income here, less than the 21% typical nationwide. Whether it fits comes down to the specifics: the neighborhood, the job, and what matters most in the move.
