About this Location

Facility Overview

The 1515 New York Ave NE Garage offers clean, modern, multi-level covered parking positioned directly off the bustling New York Avenue corridor in Northeast Washington, DC. Situated adjacent to Walt Lincoln Way NE, this structured facility provides fully sheltered parking spaces sheltered from rain, snow, and summer heat. The garage features clearly demarcated stalls, well-lit driving lanes, and intuitive one-way traffic circulation designed to accommodate standard passenger cars, crossovers, minivans, and mid-to-large SUVs with ease. Standard height restrictions apply (typically 6\'8\" to 7\'0\" vertical clearance), meaning standard consumer passenger vehicles can navigate without issue, though commercial high-roof cargo vans and vehicles with tall roof racks should verify clearance boards before entering.
