About this Location

Facility Overview

The 1200 East West Highway Garage is a secure, multi-level covered parking structure located in the thriving urban core of Downtown Silver Spring, Maryland. Positioned directly along the East-West Highway (MD-410) corridor, this facility serves as an essential parking destination for local commercial office buildings, retail patrons, and daily regional commuters. The covered garage protects vehicles from unpredictable seasonal weather, featuring clearly designated drive aisles, multi-floor elevator access, and marked parking stalls throughout. Standard passenger cars, sedans, crossovers, and compact to mid-size SUVs can comfortably navigate the parking decks. However, drivers of lifted pickup trucks, high-roof cargo vans, and vehicles with rooftop accessories should exercise caution and obey posted overhead clearance signs (standard 6-foot-8-inch clearance) before proceeding down interior ramps.
