In
the 1940s William Levitt, the man who built modern day
Long Island, turned
1,200 acres of Long Island’s farmland into a
self-sufficient residential community of about 17,000
homes which he called Levittown.
The community was a great success and led the rest
of Long Island to create these Levittown-type communities.
Today, Long Island real estate is located primarily in
small communities of houses on small lots.
The Real Estate Market in some of these communities, Port
Jefferson, Stony
Brook and Setauket is
