Property Line: Three Levittown homes under $250,000

Levittown in Bucks County is famously among the nation's first planned communities, purchased in 1951 and assembled by the same Levitt & Sons who planned Levittowns in New Jersey, New York and four other states and refused to sell to nonwhite buyers (the Pennsylvania neighborhood was integrated by the Myers family in 1957). The Pennsylvania community included more than 17,000 homes by 1958, as well as swimming pools, baseball fields, and shopping centers. Today Levittown is home to more than 52,000 residents, and homes sell at a median price near $225,000. These three homes are listed under $250,000.

Tell me all about it: We love the open floor plan and the handsome hardwood flooring on the first floor of this three-bedroom home. It has been recently renovated, with a new kitchen and a handy wine rack stretching from floor to ceiling, and a bathroom. The back yard features a large deck as well as a jungle gym, making it an ideal space to entertain your friends while the kids entertain themselves.

Tell me all about it: The Florida room in this three-bedroom home makes it unique in the neighborhood, and the cheery yellow kitchen stands out for being different as well. The home features a convenient first-floor master bedroom and a shed out back offers plenty of storage space.

Tell me all about it: As much as we love the wide-open floor plan in this four-bedroom home, it's the master suite that is the real jewel here. The bedroom boasts an en-suite with dual sinks and a glass, walk-in shower, as well as views of the vast backyard. Bonus: There's also a mod carport attached to the home.
