Mott Haven / Hunts Point

Mott Haven and Hunts Point sit on the southern tip of the Bronx along the Harlem and Bronx Rivers, minutes from Manhattan via the RFK Bridge and the Third Avenue and Madison Avenue bridges. The area blends historic brownstone blocks and waterfront parks with busy industrial corridors, from the Mott Haven Historic District and St. Mary’s Park to Barretto Point Park and the Hunts Point Food Distribution Center.

Traffic is heaviest near East 138th Street, the Bruckner Boulevard corridors, Bronx Terminal Market, and around Hunts Point Avenue, so curb space can fill quickly at peak hours. Visitors will find a mix of metered street parking, residential blocks with posted rules, and a handful of garages and lots clustered near major avenues and retail centers, and the easiest experience comes from booking in advance to save time and reduce stress, especially for parking in Mott Haven / Hunts Point. Always read local signs, mind meters and hydrants, and check updated official sources before you go so your visit stays smooth and simple.
