About this Location

Facility Overview

1211 Connecticut Parking is a secure, subterranean parking garage situated directly in the heart of Washington, DC\'s vibrant Downtown and Golden Triangle business districts. Located at 1750 St Matthews Ct NW, the parking facility sits conveniently behind the prime commercial office tower at 1211 Connecticut Avenue NW. Designed primarily as an underground covered garage, it provides dependable shelter from summer heat and winter weather conditions. Due to underground clearance limits typical of downtown Washington structures (standard height restriction roughly 6\'2\"), this facility is ideally suited for compact cars, standard sedans, crossovers, and mid-size SUVs. Drivers of lifted pickup trucks, high-roof conversion vans, or vehicles equipped with high cargo racks should verify overhead clearance or seek open-air alternatives nearby.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

Access to the garage is via St. Matthews Court NW, a quiet backstreet corridor running parallel between Connecticut Avenue NW and 18th Street NW, accessible via Rhode Island Avenue NW or N Street NW. Because St. Matthews Court is an alley-style thoroughfare, drivers should reduce speed and watch for delivery vehicles and pedestrians. The garage offers exceptional transit proximity: the Farragut North Metro Station (Red Line) is located only two blocks south (a 3-minute walk), while the Dupont Circle Metro Station (Red Line) and Farragut West Metro Station (Blue, Orange, and Silver Lines) are both within an easy 6- to 8-minute walk.

Visitor & Driver Tips

When navigating to the garage, program your navigation system directly to 1750 St Matthews Ct NW rather than the main Connecticut Avenue facade, as there is no direct vehicular ramp from Connecticut Avenue. During morning and evening rush hours (8:00 AM – 9:30 AM and 4:30 PM – 6:30 PM), Rhode Island Avenue and Connecticut Avenue experience heavy congestion; arriving slightly ahead of peak hours will ensure seamless entry. Consider reserving your space in advance via parking reservation apps (such as SpotHero or ParkMobile) to lock in competitive daily early-bird tariffs.
