Subdivision with a Red Rose theme within The Gates of Levittown
Within the classic American subdivision of Levittown, Red Rose Gate is a neighborhood where the street names fittingly share an outdoorsy “R” theme. In addition to Red Rose Way, which leads into the neighborhood, residents might live on Rain Lily Road, Red Berry Road, Rose Apple Road or Rust Hill Road. While the community can be distinguished by its unique street names and housing styles, it’s one of more than 40 Levittown neighborhoods.
In 1952, Levitt & Sons began a mass production of more than 17,000 homes about 20 miles northeast of Philadelphia. This suburban development, called Levittown, was originally intended for World War II veterans and their families. Around six years after breaking ground, Levitt & Sons moved on to a section of the town known locally as “The Gates,” where larger homes sit on larger plots of land. In addition to Red Rose Gate, there is Snowball Gate and Forsythia Gate, all neighborhoods within the Middletown Township section of Levittown and connected by footbridges. Red Rose Gate is situated on the western side of town, allowing for commuting access to Interstate 295 on the west side and commercial and retail access to Business Route 1 to the north.
Red Rose Gate has many bus stops that can take you to all the major shopping and dining.
Most of the homes in Red Rose Gate have private driveways and garages.

Low inventory of rambling ranch-style and Craftsman homes
Residents know they have made it home when they pass the blue sign outside their subdivision welcoming them to Red Rose Gate. “The houses in The Gates of Levittown are all a little bit bigger," says Stacey Stier, a Bucks County local and Realtor with Realty One Group. “They were built with two-car garages, bigger lots, and none have basements.” While the inventory is typically low, when homes do become available, buyers can find rambling ranch-styles with Craftsman influences and Cape Cods with A-frame designs. For a 2,000- to 3,500-square-foot home, price tags typically range between $485,000 and $640,000.
Being strictly residential helps the neighborhood maintain its peaceful, suburban atmosphere. In addition to this quiet environment, Red Rose Gate receives a CAP Index crime score of 2 out of 10, lower than the national average of 4 out of 10.

Shopping trips to Oxford Valley Mall off Business Route 1
While Red Rose Gate is predominantly residential, there are commercial establishments and retail sections just outside of the neighborhood. To the south, Newport Plaza features a Giant grocery, storefronts and takeout eateries. “Since Red Rose Gate is all residential, people would have to go to Business Route 1 to shop and eat,” Stier says. There, residents can run errands at Target and Sam’s Club, and grab food at different chain restaurants, fast-food eateries and bars. Oxford Valley Mall features department stores like JCPenney and Macy's, and nearby Atlee Square is a new luxury apartment development. Also located in this busy retail section is Sesame Place, a huge "Sesame Street"-themed amusement park with roller coasters and a water park.
The Oxford Valley Mall is the largest shopping center to Red Rose Gate.
