Unattended Death and Biohazard Cleanup in Levittown, PA

Levittown is a planned community and census-designated place in Bucks County that is not its own municipality — it spans Bristol Township, Falls Township, Middletown Township, and Tullytown Borough.

Levittown was built by Levitt & Sons beginning with land purchased in 1951, and its first residents, the Dougherty family, moved in on June 23, 1952.

Levittown was the largest planned community ever constructed by a single builder in the United States, with more than 17,000 single-family homes spread across 40 named sections on over 5,500 acres when it was completed in 1958.

Developer William Levitt and his brother, architect Alfred Levitt, built Levittown from just six house models — the Levittowner, the Rancher, the Jubilee, the Pennsylvanian, the Colonial, and the Country Clubber.

Levittown was designed to provide affordable assembly-line-built housing for returning World War II veterans, repeating the formula Levitt & Sons had pioneered in Levittown, New York.

Levittown had a population of 52,699 at the 2020 census, making it one of the largest census-designated places in Pennsylvania.

Levittown has nearly 18,000 households, and about 87% of its homes are owner-occupied.

In August 1957 Levittown became a national battleground over suburban integration when Bill and Daisy Myers, an African American couple, moved into the all-white community, which Levitt had originally sold only to white buyers under racially restrictive covenants.

Levittown is part of the Philadelphia metropolitan area and is served by five ZIP codes: 19054, 19055, 19056, 19057, and 19058.
