I meant clusters of streets beginning with same letter, such as
Asty St
Acker St
Avion St
Ames St
Affy St
Isn't Levittown, PA arranged like that?

It is. Which other cities have these-like streets?
I believe we've done this, or at least variations of it, several times before. Here's a past thread on themed street names: https://www.aaroads.com/forum/index.php?topic=3886.250
The Twin Cities' southern suburbs have many alphabetical neighborhoods, starting with "A" south of I-494 and progressively working down through the alphabet as you head south, currently ending with "K" near I-35 in Lakeville.
A lot of cities in general that has a planned grid. This is particularly common with cities that developed from railroad sidings. That said, Sacramento is the most prominent around me as it combines lettered and numbered streets.

This is not what I meant; I meant a suburb where streets begin with same letter of alphabet, and different letters in different suburbs. Like in Levittown, PA.

Greendale, WI is a post WWII planned community outside of Milwaukee that has most of its streets clumped into alphabetical sections.

Park Forest, IL south of Chicago is similar, with the added flavor that most of the names are Native American in origin. https://www.google.com/maps/place/Park+Forest,+IL/@41.4762701,-87.695548,14.11z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x880e1a1131822789:0x8a5f37b748861a5a!8m2!3d41.4914217!4d-87.6744926?hl=en&authuser=0

No it shouldn't. English isn't going to have three consonants in a row.

You mean 3 of the same consonant.

The N-S minor streets in the west side of Chicago are like this. It's best seen along and south of the Kennedy west of Cicero.
Palm Coast, FL's neighborhoods are clustered this way, to a much bigger extent than Chicago.

They should also be in true alphabetical order.

Were you implying Bowie, Maryland in your original post, or some other city named Bowie? If not, the aforementioned Bowie in Maryland qualifies, as each neighborhood has all of its streets (generally) starting with the same letter.
Two adjacent suburbs in Cincinnati, Forest Park and Greenhills, both have this.
Greenhills was one of three WPA planned communities built in the 1930s; the other two being Greendale WI, and Greenbelt MD. As someone mentioned above, Greendale also has this pattern. Looking at Google maps, it does not appear that Greenbelt follows suit.

Bowie, Maryland.
In Brooklyn, New York City, streets near coney island literally run from like Avenue C, to Avenue X, I haven't driven much in that area so I don't know if every letter is used.
My favorite is California Valley:

You really need to turn on aerial imagery to see how impressive it is.
Palmdale/Lancaster, California, and the area around them up to the LA/Kern County line.
Any other examples with alphabetical sections?

If anyone had them, they'd post them. There is no need for a contentless post bump of this type.
