Facility Overview

The Valley & Bloom Garage, professionally operated by Propark Mobility, is a modern, covered multi-tier parking structure integrated into the premier Valley & Bloom mixed-use development at 34 Valley Road in downtown Montclair, New Jersey. Centrally positioned near the lively intersection of Valley Road and Bloomfield Avenue, this well-maintained facility serves residents, commercial tenants, shoppers, and regional event visitors. The parking deck offers smooth, two-way driving lanes, marked pedestrian pathways, and multiple elevator banks for seamless vertical mobility. The garage comfortably accommodates standard passenger cars, mid-size crossovers, and full-size SUVs. Drivers of lifted pickup trucks or high-roof commercial cargo vans should be mindful of standard garage height clearance limitations (posted at 6 feet 8 inches at entry points), making it best suited for standard-height passenger vehicles.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

Located in the heart of Montclair’s bustling downtown arts and entertainment district, the garage offers immediate, walkable access to key cultural, retail, and dining landmarks:
