The Story Behind Market Lane
Market Lane is more than just a name—it’s a tribute to Colleen’s roots and the place where her story began.
After World War II, Colleen’s grandparents, Betty and Bud, took a leap of faith and bought a home on Market Lane in Levittown. That house became their haven for nearly 50 years—a place filled with warmth, laughter, and the enduring spirit of the American Dream. It’s where they raised their family, built a life, and weathered every high and low with love and resilience.
For Colleen, that home wasn't just a house—it was the foundation of her values, her dreams, and her idea of what "home" truly means.
As we all pursue our own versions of the American Dream, Market Lane stands as a reminder of where we come from, and the comfort, strength, and inspiration that a true home can offer.
Now, we’re honored to share that feeling with you—to bring a little of the magic of Market Lane into your life.
