PARKING: Being a high-end residential area, Upper West Side where our building is located is one of the rare areas where you can still park for free. You can park on the street free of charge except for four days a week between 8:30 am to 10:00 am, Mon and Thu on the North side of our street and Tue and Fri on the South side of the street, because of street cleaning. I would say, for the most part the residents park in the street and you don't need a parking permit. During these four days when the street sweeper comes between 8:30 to 10:00, all cars which are parked, you can move your car to the middle of the street or double park so that the sweeper can go thru. After the sweeper is gone, Neighbours move right back to their parking spot, but the driver needs to stay in the car till 10:00 am. If you are on the side which does not have the street cleaning, you can park as long as you want, and it is free. I would say, most residents are able to find a parking spot so that they don't have to move their car during the street cleaning.
There is a parking garage two blocks south, on 83rd street between Columbus and Amsterdam and some tenants might have used it as a long-term parking. If you want to find a long-term parking and don't need the car every day, you can probably find a less expensive parking garage on the west side of Manhattan as you get closer to the Hudson River. I believe you can probably shop around once you are in the city.
Now, this information applies to the street and not to the avenues! I believe we pay about $ 10.75/2 hours on Columbus and Amsterdam Avenues. You are allowed to park a maximum of an hour or two since you cannot pay more with the park meters. Few spots are reserved for commercial parking till 1:00 pm, but I would say if it is for couple of hours you can always find a spot on the avenues as well as with park meters. I hope I was able to answer your question, please let me know if you need any additional information.
