Facility Overview

Situated in the heart of Washington, D.C.\'s historic Shaw and Mount Vernon Square neighborhoods, the 1323 10th St NW Parking facility offers an accessible and well-located open-air parking solution. Positioned along 10th Street NW between N and O Streets, this surface lot provides an unobstructed parking footprint that accommodates standard passenger sedans, crossovers, pickup trucks, and full-size SUVs. Because it is an open surface facility, drivers do not need to worry about low overhead clearance bars or height restrictions that commonly restrict taller passenger vehicles and rooftop cargo carriers in downtown underground parking decks.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

This parking location serves as an exceptional home base for exploring some of the District’s most vibrant cultural, culinary, and event destinations:

• Walter E. Washington Convention Center: Located just a 5-minute walk (approx. 0.3 miles) south, making this facility prime overflow parking for major expos, political events, and trade shows.
• Blagden Alley & Naylor Court: Directly adjacent to 10th Street, this historic culinary hub is home to Michelin-starred dining, speakeasies, and hip coffee shops including The Dabney, Tiger Fork, and Calico.
• Downtown & Penn Quarter: Located roughly 10 to 15 minutes south on foot, offering easy access to Capital One Arena, the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library, and Chinatown.
• Logan Circle & 14th Street Corridor: A pleasant 10-minute stroll west brings visitors to the bustling boutiques, theaters, and vibrant nightlife flanking 14th Street NW.
• Shaw Historic District: Renowned for its rich musical heritage, independent art galleries, neighborhood bistros, and iconic Victorian row architecture.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

The lot is easily accessed directly from 10th Street NW, a northbound one-way artery that connects smoothly with Massachusetts Avenue NW, Rhode Island Avenue NW, and New York Avenue NW (Route 50), providing straightforward passage to Interstate 395. After major events at the Convention Center or Capital One Arena, exiting westward toward 11th Street or northward toward Florida Avenue allows drivers to bypass gridlocked arterial intersections.

For multi-modal transit users, the Mt Vernon Sq 7th St-Convention Center Metro Station (serviced by the Green and Yellow Lines) is a short 5-minute walk to the east. Additionally, several Metrobus routes run along 9th, 11th, and Massachusetts Avenues, offering swift connections to Dupont Circle, Adams Morgan, and the National Mall.

Visitor & Driver Tips
