This
early 1947 picture is of what was known as Island Trees. The name was soon
changed to LEVITTOWN, Long Island.
What
you see is mostly potato fields. According to Lynne Matarrese in "The History
of Levittown, New York", "On October 1, 1947, the first 300 families
moved into the Cape Cod rental units."
The monthly rent was $60 and all houses were rentals. Matarrese writes that
after one year the Capes were available for
sale at $7,500.
