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
