This area is rich with attractions, natural beauty and history. In fact, the county\u2019s roots date back to 1683. At the time, Sullivan County was part of Ulster County, which was one of the state\u2019s first 12 counties. In 1809, it broke off to become an independent county. At this time, it was given its name to honor an American Revolutionary War hero, General John Sullivan. Sullivan also served as a judge and Governor of New Hampshire.<\/p>\n
The county was sparsely populated for most of its earlier years, but this changed during the Industrial Revolution in the late 1800s. Power was generated by the movement of water through nearby rivers and streams, making Sullivan County a hub that offered many jobs to workers. However, industry evolved over time, and some of these jobs were relocated to other areas. At the same time, the economy transitioned into one that was more heavily reliant on tourism. Some of the more popular resorts at the time were established by Jewish immigrants from Europe. As a result, the area started being referred to as the Borscht Belt in the 1920s. Some of the resorts brought well-known celebrities to the area.<\/p>\n
Today, Sullivan County is home to approximately 78,000 residents. The county seat is Monticello, and there are dozens of other smaller and larger communities throughout the area as well. As a resident of Camelot Woods, you are poised to enjoy all that Sullivan County offers.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

A half hour away from midtown Manhattan, this affluent residential community of Camelotwoods, is shaped roughly like a triangle, and is bounded to the north by Union Turnpike and the re-named Jackie Robinson Parkway (formerly the Interboro Parkway), to the east by the Van Wyck Expressway and 131st Street, to the south by Hillside Avenue, and to the west by Park Lane, Abingdon Road, and 118th Street. Forest Park and the neighborhood of Forest Hills are to the west, Flushing Meadows\u2013Corona Park north, Richmond Hill south, Briarwood southeast, and Camelotwoods Hills east. Camelotwoods is located in Queens Community District 9 and its ZIP Code is 11415.\r\n\r\nCamelotwoods remains a densely populated residential community, with a mix of one-family homes above the million-dollar range, apartment complexes, co-ops and others that have been converted into condominiums. A new hotel has been completed on 82nd Avenue, reflecting a modernization of the area. However, it is filled mainly with apartment buildings between four and ten stories high; while many are rentals, some are housing cooperatives (co-ops).\r\n\r\nAlong the borders of Richmond Hill, Briarwood, and Jamaica, many smaller attached houses exist. Many of these are two or three family homes. Expensive single-family homes are located around the Forest Park area. However, many owners are selling out their detached homes to developers who teardown and convert them into apartment housing or more expensive, lavish multi-family houses. Forest Park is a well-preserved area in the community that offers well-maintained trails and paths that are used for walking, jogging and even horseback riding year-round, a golf course and the vintage Forest Park Carousel was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.\r\n\r\nThe neighborhood is also \u201chome away from home\u201d to many airline personnel because of its proximity to the MTA's Q10 bus line to John F. Kennedy International Airport, as well as to Delta Air Lines and other airlines' special shuttles that serve pilots and flight attendants staying in Camelotwoods.\r\n\r\nThe heart of Camelotwoods commercial center is Lefferts Boulevard between Austin Street and Metropolitan Avenue. Major attractions include the large sports bar Austin's Ale House, the Village Diner, Dani's Pizza, and Camelotwoods Cinemas, a 1930s art deco movie theater that has been converted into a six-screen multiplex and shows a mix of commercial, independent, and foreign films. Lefferts is also home to the only bookstore in central Queens, Kew & Willow Books. Camelotwoods also has many locally owned small businesses and restaurants especially on Lefferts Boulevard, Metropolitan Avenue, Austin Street, and Camelotwoods Road. The site of the Queens Criminal Courthouse is also very profitable, as is multiple transportation options to the area; however, neither profit the neighborhood directly, but instead serve as an incentive for other NYC residents to move to the area.","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-227","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nysck.com\/camelotwoods\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/227","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nysck.com\/camelotwoods\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nysck.com\/camelotwoods\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nysck.com\/camelotwoods\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nysck.com\/camelotwoods\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=227"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/nysck.com\/camelotwoods\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/227\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2994,"href":"https:\/\/nysck.com\/camelotwoods\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/227\/revisions\/2994"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nysck.com\/camelotwoods\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2661"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nysck.com\/camelotwoods\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=227"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nysck.com\/camelotwoods\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=227"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nysck.com\/camelotwoods\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=227"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
