Facility Overview
Located at 300 Mercer Street in the heart of Greenwich Village, Manhattan, the Hilary Gardens Garage serves as a vital parking hub for residents and visitors navigating this historic neighborhood. This multi-level indoor garage facility offers secure, covered parking, protecting vehicles from the elements. Due to the nature of historic Manhattan garage construction, motorists with oversized vehicles, including lifted trucks or full-size conversion vans, are advised to contact management to confirm specific height clearance, as standard height restrictions for older garages in the area typically hover around 6 feet, 2 inches.
