Facility Overview
The Andover Garage is a premier parking facility located at 1675 York Ave, nestled in the Upper East Side of Manhattan, New York. This multi-level enclosed garage provides a secure and climate-shielded environment for your vehicle, offering a significant advantage over street parking in this high-density residential and commercial district. The facility is well-suited for standard sedans, compact cars, and mid-size SUVs. Due to the structural nature of historic NYC garages, drivers operating high-roof vans, lifted trucks, or vehicles with oversized roof racks should verify clearance height at the entrance before proceeding.
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
Situated in the heart of Yorkville, this garage serves as an ideal anchor point for your Upper East Side itinerary. Its strategic location places you within easy reach of world-class cultural institutions and green spaces:
