About this Location

Facility Overview

The Centerpark Harlow Parking Garage is a modern, covered indoor parking facility situated beneath The Harlow residential complex and Trader Joe's at 1330 Willow Avenue in Uptown Hoboken, New Jersey. Serving as one of the most vital covered parking resources in northern Hoboken, this garage provides safe, weather-protected self-parking with on-site staff presence. The facility operates with a maximum vehicle height restriction of 7 feet 0 inches (84 inches), making it ideally suited for standard passenger sedans, compact crossovers, minivans, station wagons, and standard-height SUVs. Oversized commercial vehicles, high-roof cargo vans, lifted pickup trucks, or vehicles fitted with elevated roof carriers exceeding the 7-foot ceiling limit will need to seek exterior surface parking elsewhere in the area.

Visitor & Driver Tips

During peak shopping hours—particularly weekend afternoons and weekday evening rush periods—traffic on Willow Avenue heading toward the Lincoln Tunnel viaduct can build up quickly. Drivers visiting Trader Joe's or dining uptown are advised to reserve their parking spot ahead of time using SpotHero or BestParking to secure guaranteed entry and lock in competitive prepaid rates. If visiting local businesses, always keep your parking ticket on hand to check whether validation discounts are offered before paying. When returning to your vehicle, follow the designated pedestrian markings and take the primary Harlow building elevators directly down into the garage deck.
