About Laurelton
Where to stay in Laurelton
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
Laurelton offers little to book. The district is one of the residential quarters of Queens, and travellers who want a bed in New York City will find far more of it in the parts of the city built for visitors than out here among the houses. Staying in Laurelton makes sense for one reason only: business or family that brings you to this stretch of Queens in the first place.
About Laurelton
What are the main landmarks in Laurelton?
Laurelton keeps no landmark list. Nothing in the district carries a heritage designation of its own, and the record for this part of Queens names no museum, church or monument that would pull a visitor out from the middle of New York City. The streets are the substance here.
What Laurelton has is housing, laid out block by block, and the sights belong to the wider borough rather than to the neighbourhood.
What is the history of Laurelton?
Nothing in the record fixes when Laurelton began. The neighbourhood takes its place on the map of Queens without a charter year attached to it, and the sources carry no dated event on which to hang a longer account. That silence is itself the finding.
Laurelton belongs to the class of New York City districts known by name and by street rather than by monument, and its past sits in the housing that fills it.
Where is Laurelton?
Laurelton is set among the residential streets of Queens, in the temperate belt of the northern hemisphere that covers New York City.
