Facility Overview
Castle Village, located at 212 Cabrini Blvd, New York, NY 10033, serves as an essential residential-adjacent parking solution within the historic and scenic Washington Heights neighborhood. Situated atop the cliffs overlooking the Hudson River, this facility is primarily tailored for residents and authorized visitors to the landmarked Castle Village cooperative complex. The parking layout consists of a mix of private residential parking structures and outdoor spaces integrated into the complex\'s landscaped grounds. Because this is a private residential area, the facility is generally not open to the public; standard passenger vehicles and compact SUVs are well-accommodated, though space is limited, and vertical clearance may be restricted in covered areas.

Visitor & Driver Tips
Drivers should be aware that Cabrini Boulevard features restricted residential parking zones. If you are not a resident or a guest of a resident, it is highly recommended to seek public parking facilities in the nearby commercial areas of 181st Street or near the GWB Bus Terminal. Always ensure you have clear parking authorization if entering the complex grounds to avoid ticketing or towing. GPS guidance is highly reliable in this area, but note that the steep incline of the streets can be challenging during winter weather conditions.
