A planned community that dates to 1952, this Philadelphia suburb is relatively new compared to its neighbors. Yet what [Levittown](http://www.anrdoezrs.net/links/8147966/type/dlg/sid/MYlife2016bestplacesliveAKoct/https://www.tripadvisor.com/Tourism-g53023-Levittown_Pennsylvania-Vacations.html) lacks in history it makes up for with affordable homes, outdoor spaces, good schools, and humane commutes. The median house in 2016 sold for just under $185,000; that’s a welcome relief to sticker-shocked home buyers moving to Levittown from other Philly burbs. Coupled with a median household income of $76,747, it mades sense that the town’s foreclosure rate is one of the lowest on our Top 50 list.

Levittown is part of the top-notch Bristol Township School District, which has strong academics as well as unique extracurriculars such as a multi-school squad of drummers and dances. As part of Bucks County, Levittown locals have access to more than 700 acres of parkland, including running trails, biking paths, and a 134-acre wildflower preserve. Other family-friendly activities include touring the historic [Peddler's Village](http://www.peddlersvillage.com/), apple picking at [Shady Brook Farm](http://shadybrookfarm.com/), and riding roller coasters at Sesame Place, a Sesame Street-themed amusement park.
