The postwar suburbs, particularly those developed by Levitt and Sons like Levittown, New York, were known for their standardized, mass-produced homes. This approach allowed for the rapid construction and affordability of homes for returning WWII veterans and their families, but resulted in neighborhoods with houses that were very similar in appearance and lacked individual distinguishing characteristics.
