Where to stay in Levittown
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
Beds here answer to Nassau County rather than to Levittown itself, since the hamlet is residential ground with the county's museums, rinks and parks strung along the roads that cross it. Hempstead and Farmingdale bracket it. Rooms sit out along the through roads rather than among the hamlet's lanes, and a car does most of the work of any stay based here.
Adventureland and Nunley's suit families. The Northwell Health Ice Center and Islanders Iceworks pull skaters in through the winter months. Two anchors shape the choice.
The museum cluster around the Cradle of Aviation Museum and the Long Island Children's Museum gives one anchor, and a bed near it puts the African American Museum and the Nassau County Aquatic Center within reach. Hofstra University Museum and the Mitchel Athletic Complex belong to the same run of county institutions. Quieter nights favour the Old Bethpage Village Restoration end of the county, where preserved buildings hold the ground and the traffic thins.
The Nassau County Firefighters Museum and Education Center and the Museum of American Armor sit within the same short circuit of roads, which makes a car-based stay in the county work better than one pinned to a single street. Brentwood and the rest of Long Island are an easy drive.
About Levittown
What is Levittown known for?
Museums and a fairground crowd the roads around Levittown, where the Cradle of Aviation Museum, the Long Island Children's Museum and the African American Museum sit within a short drive of the hamlet. Adventureland runs rides nearby. Nunley's and the Northwell Health Ice Center draw families from across Nassau County.
Old Bethpage Village Restoration keeps an older village on show, while the Museum of American Armor and the American Airpower Museum gather military and flying exhibits.
What are the main landmarks in Levittown?
Nassau County keeps its museums. The Cradle of Aviation Museum and the American Airpower Museum carry the county's flying past, and the Museum of American Armor and the Nassau County Firefighters Museum and Education Center round out the run. Adventureland and Nunley's draw the family traffic.
Older fabric survives in the Grace Church Complex, the George Sumner Kellogg House and the Sweet Hollow Presbyterian Church Parsonage. Hofstra University Museum, University Field and the Mitchel Athletic Complex fill out the campus and sporting side.
What is the history of Levittown?
Levittown belongs to the Town of Hempstead. That town covers the South Shore of Nassau County and holds 22 semi-autonomous villages together with forty other neighborhoods, an unusually fragmented arrangement for a single unit of local government. Hempstead ranks as the most populous town in the country, and the urbanized ground it covers leaves Levittown continuous with its neighbours rather than separate from them.
Levittown itself is not one of the villages. It carries no charter of its own, and the 2020 census ranked it the most populous unincorporated census place in Nassau County, with only Brentwood ahead of it on Long Island. Older Long Island survives around the hamlet in buildings kept for the purpose.
Old Bethpage Village Restoration gathers restored village buildings, and the George Sumner Kellogg House, the Grace Church Complex and the Sweet Hollow Presbyterian Church Parsonage stand from the same older order. Aviation left its own record. The Cradle of Aviation Museum and the American Airpower Museum keep that strand of the county's past on display.
Levittown grew inside that frame, a suburb of New York City halfway between Hempstead and Farmingdale.
Where is Levittown?
Levittown sits on Long Island. The hamlet takes in about seventeen square kilometres of suburban ground in Nassau County, running between Hempstead on one side and Farmingdale on the other without a break in the built fabric. The Town of Hempstead around it reaches the South Shore of Nassau County.
New York City is close enough for the hamlet to count as its suburb. Water surrounds the island itself.
What is the climate of Levittown?
Long Island's water moderates the hamlet's weather, holding the temperate band's swing a little narrower than it runs on the mainland behind Nassau County. Four seasons turn here. Summer runs warm across the island, and winter turns cold.
The northern hemisphere calendar puts the warm months at mid-year, which is when Adventureland and the outdoor sites around Nassau County fill. Indoor days favour the Long Island Children's Museum and the Northwell Health Ice Center.
How do you get to Levittown?
Roads through the Town of Hempstead carry most arrivals, running in from New York City and passing Hempstead and Farmingdale on the way to the hamlet. Nassau County lies all around. The same county roads connect Old Bethpage Village Restoration, Adventureland and the Cradle of Aviation Museum.
Onward roads carry on across Long Island toward Brentwood. A car makes the difference.
