About this Location

Facility Overview

Situated in the heart of the Mount Eden and Concourse neighborhood in the West Bronx, 1673 Walton Ave Parking offers an accessible, secure open-air surface parking facility. Positioned just off the bustling Grand Concourse corridor and directly south of the Cross Bronx Expressway, this parking lot provides dedicated vehicular space in a densely populated urban district where curbside parking is notoriously scarce. Because it operates as an outdoor ground-level lot, it features open-sky clearance, making it an excellent option for taller vehicles, full-size SUVs, pickup trucks, and commercial contractor vans that routinely exceed the restrictive height clearances of underground and multi-tier garages.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

The facility is strategically placed within easy reach of vital medical centers, educational institutions, recreational parks, and community commerce:

The one-way local grid ensures steady traffic movement, and egress back onto major expressways or south toward Manhattan via the Major Deegan Expressway (I-87) is swift. For multimodal transit, commuters can walk 4 minutes to the 174th-175th Streets station (B and D subway lines) on the Grand Concourse or 6 minutes west to the Mount Eden Avenue elevated station (4 subway line), providing express connections into Midtown Manhattan in under 30 minutes.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Walton Avenue is a one-way street, so planning your approach via East 174th Street or Mount Eden Avenue will save navigation time. If you are visiting BronxCare Hospital during morning peak hours (8:00 AM to 11:00 AM), arrive early or reserve in advance to guarantee an available space. Because this is an open-air surface lot, ensure all personal belongings and valuables are removed or stowed securely out of sight in the trunk prior to stepping away from your vehicle.
