Facility Overview
Located in the heart of East Harlem, the 17 E 119th St Garage offers a dependable and secure parking solution for residents and visitors navigating Upper Manhattan. This facility is a multi-level structure designed to accommodate standard passenger vehicles, sedans, and SUVs. Given the dense urban nature of the area, the garage provides a structured, off-street alternative to the competitive street parking common in the 10035 zip code. Drivers are advised that vertical clearance is standard for city garages; therefore, those with oversized vehicles, high-roof vans, or roof-mounted equipment should verify clearance before entry to ensure a smooth parking experience.
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
Positioned strategically near the vibrant corridors of Harlem, this garage is an ideal \"home base\" for exploring the rich culture of the neighborhood.

Visitors planning to visit Marcus Garvey Park—a major landmark for recreation and community events—will find the walking distance manageable, typically under 15 minutes. The location also serves as a convenient point for those visiting the nearby Mt. Morris Historic District, known for its stunning architecture and historical significance.
Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
The facility is situated with easy access to major local thoroughfares, facilitating efficient ingress and egress. For those relying on public transit, the location is exceptionally well-connected. The 116th Street Station (serviced by the 6 train) is a short walk away, providing rapid transit access to Midtown Manhattan and the wider subway network.
