About this Location

Facility Overview

The Eastowne Parking Garage, located at 150 Baldwin Street in downtown Elmira, New York, serves as a primary multi-level parking facility for the city's historic business, civic, and commercial core. Established adjacent to the Eastowne Mall complex, the facility features structured, multi-deck parking designed to accommodate daily commuters, county court visitors, and downtown patrons. The garage offers ground-level and covered upper-level deck spaces, protected from inclement upstate New York winter conditions, as well as open rooftop parking. Standard passenger sedans, crossovers, minivans, and mid-size to full-size SUVs navigate the facility with ease. Drivers of oversized pickup trucks, lifted vehicles, and conversion vans should observe posted overhead height clearance signage (typically 6'8" to 7'0" on covered levels) or utilize designated ground-level spaces where vertical headroom allows.
