About this Location

Facility Overview

600 Columbus Ave Parking is an attended, multi-level indoor garage conveniently situated on Columbus Avenue between West 89th Street and West 90th Street in Manhattan’s vibrant Upper West Side. Serving local residents, daily commuters, and visitors exploring historic uptown cultural landmarks, the facility provides secure, weather-protected parking. The garage comfortably accommodates standard sedans, compacts, crossovers, and mid-size SUVs. While full-size SUVs, pickup trucks, and minivans can typically be accommodated, drivers should note standard subterranean clearance limits (approximately 6 feet 6 inches) and be aware that standard New York City oversize vehicle surcharges may apply. Due to clearance restrictions, high-roof cargo vans and lifted commercial vehicles cannot be accommodated.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

Columbus Avenue is a one-way southbound arterial avenue, making vehicle access straightforward when heading downtown from Harlem or the Upper Manhattan interchanges. Drivers traveling from New Jersey or upstate can easily reach the facility via the Henry Hudson Parkway (NY-9A), exiting onto West 96th Street and turning south onto Columbus Avenue. For commuters continuing by mass transit, the 86th Street and 96th Street Subway Stations (servicing the B and C trains on Central Park West, and the 1, 2, and 3 express/local trains on Broadway) are both within a 5 to 8-minute walk.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Because Columbus Avenue is one-way heading south, plan your route to approach from West 90th Street or further north to avoid looping around busy residential side streets. Peak arrival hours occur on weekend mornings and weekday commuter rush hours; pre-booking a guaranteed reservation via mobile apps is strongly advised to lock in discounted rates and avoid posted drive-up premiums. If driving an oversized SUV or luxury passenger truck, verify oversize vehicle tariffs prior to handoff with the garage valet attendant.
