Laurelton is a largely middle-class neighborhood in the New York City borough of Queens and part of the former town of Jamaica.

It was developed by Dean Alvord and was modeled after an English village, with stately Tudor-style homes, both attached and detached.

[4] A few co-ops exist in a former garden apartment complex, there has been some new construction but no high-rise buildings, which has enabled Laurelton to keep its small-town feel.

[5] In the 1930s through the 1970s, Laurelton was home to many Jewish-American families, home to female American radio trio NBC radio vocal harmonists Three X Sisters during the 1930s, but succeeding generations since the 1960s have included various Afro-descended groups, including African-Americans, Caribbean/West Indians and West Africans, many of whom were attracted to Laurelton's more suburban-like environment.

Residents also have access to MTA Regional Bus Operations buses Q5, Q77, Q84 and Q85, which connect to New York City Subway stops in Jamaica.
