Cambria Heights is a middle class neighborhood in Southeastern Queens. It runs along the Belt Parkway which seperates it from Nassau County. The neighborhood has a large Caribbean and African-American population. Recently Jewish famililies have settled along Francis Lewis Boulevard. They have done so due to a religious clergyman being buried in Montefiore Cemetary, a nearby Jewish cemetary. Latinos have also begun to settle in the community. Cambria Heights is known for its globe lanterns that dot the lawns on the households.
