You can keep a car in Murray Hill. You will think about it every week. The Queens-Midtown Tunnel sits next to this neighborhood. 34th Street carries tunnel traffic. Alternate-side parking is the city's version of a gym membership you resent. This building's public amenity list does not include a resident garage. Do not assume there is a space in the basement.
Street parking
Street parking means moving the car for street cleaning, watching for bus lanes, and not leaving it on 34th as if 34th were a side street. If you will not do that, you will pay for a garage nearby. This site does not publish garage rates or a waitlist. Ask the concierge whether they have a relationship with a lot. Get the price from the lot, not from a memory of 2019.
A car you use twice a month is a different decision from a car you use to drive to work in Queens. Be honest about which one you have before you add a monthly garage bill to rent, electric, and cable.
Coming and going
Tunnel backups will sit on your map even when you are not in the car. Moving-day trucks already need a reservation with the building. A personal car does not get a reserved dock because you live here. Do not idle in the lobby cut-out.
If you are moving from a place with a driveway, test one week of your real schedule on foot and subway before you decide the car is required. Grand Central is the commuting argument against the car for a lot of people in this zip code.
Ask before you sign
If a car is non-negotiable, solve parking before you fall for a floor plan. Filter listings, tour the unit, and ask the desk the garage question on the same visit. Call (212) 684-3222.
