About this Location

Facility Overview

The 1331 Maryland Avenue SW parking facility is a premier, covered, and secure private garage located in the heart of the Southwest Waterfront district in Washington, D.C. This professional-grade parking structure is designed to accommodate a high volume of vehicles, offering a protected environment shielded from D.C.\'s varied weather conditions. The garage layout is optimized for standard passenger vehicles, SUVs, and mid-sized trucks.

Visitor & Driver Tips

To ensure a seamless parking experience, we highly recommend booking your spot in advance through mobile parking platforms to secure the best rates, especially during high-traffic events at The Wharf. During peak hours or weekends, arrival 15 to 20 minutes before your scheduled engagement is advisable to allow for navigation within the garage. Always ensure your license plate information is correctly entered into any payment apps to avoid unnecessary citations. If using GPS, ensure you are directed to the Maryland Avenue entrance rather than alley-side service entrances for the most direct access to the main garage gate.
