Young couples in the post WWII era found that they had little choice as to where they would live after marriage. Because of the Depression and the War, housing had taken a back seat. The cost of living in the city was too high. The solution was the development of new tracts or subdivisions, on the outskirts of cities. Far enough from the city so the land was cheap, but close enough so people could still shop and work in the cities. The first great suburb was Levittown, NY. Levits was a family company that adapted the assembly line to home building. To keep the price of homes low, Levit brothers used cheap materials and only a few different blueprints. Houses of sububia were identical and constructed all at once. By 1960, as many people lived in the suburbs as lived in the cities.
