About this Location

Facility Overview

The 1255 22nd St NW Garage is a modern, covered commercial parking garage situated in Washington, DC\'s vibrant West End neighborhood. Positioned along 22nd Street NW between M and N Streets, the facility provides subterranean parking with well-maintained driving lanes and clear stall markings. The covered garage is optimized for standard passenger vehicles, including compact cars, sedans, crossovers, and standard mid-size SUVs. Due to a typical underground ceiling clearance of approximately 6 feet 4 inches, high-top conversion vans, commercial cargo vehicles, and lifted full-size pickup trucks should verify posted height signs at the entrance ramp before entering.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Because 22nd Street NW is one-way southbound, drivers approaching from north of the city should route via Florida Avenue or Massachusetts Avenue to 22nd Street. Morning rush hours (8:00 AM to 9:30 AM) and evening commute hours (4:30 PM to 6:30 PM) see moderate traffic along M and 22nd Streets, so planning an extra 10 minutes for arrival and departure is recommended. For the lowest rates and guaranteed space during peak conference or dining times, reserve parking ahead of time using digital parking reservation apps.
