About this Location

Facility Overview

The 1600-1698 O St NW Parking facility is strategically positioned along O Street NW between 16th Street and 17th Street NW, bridging the vibrant neighborhoods of Dupont Circle and Logan Circle in Washington, DC. This parking location offers convenient neighborhood-level parking nestled in a historic residential and commercial corridor characterized by leafy streetscapes and classic brownstones.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Because O Street NW is a one-way corridor, make sure your GPS navigation is configured to approach via 16th Street NW turning westbound onto O Street NW. If visiting during peak evening dining hours (Thursday through Saturday, 6:30 PM to 9:00 PM), consider arriving early as street-level parking in the Dupont-Logan corridor fills quickly. Always inspect posted curb regulations, zone-parking restrictions, and street sweeping schedules to ensure full compliance when parking along the block.
