About this Location

Facility Overview

Situated in Denver\'s vibrant Uptown (North Capitol Hill) neighborhood, 1735 Pennsylvania St Parking provides an open-air surface parking facility situated between East 17th Avenue and East 18th Avenue. Because it is an outdoor, uncovered lot, the location boasts unrestricted vertical clearance, making it an exceptional parking option for taller vehicles such as full-size pickup trucks, commercial vans, vehicles fitted with roof carriers, and large SUVs that cannot clear standard low-ceiling downtown parking garages. Clear stall striping and a functional, straightforward layout make pulling in and parking smooth and hassle-free.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Because Pennsylvania Street features one-way sections further south and runs through residential pockets, pay close attention to street signage when approaching. The lot operates on a pay-by-plate system; note your license plate number before leaving your vehicle to streamline mobile payment. During high-profile weekend concert nights on Colfax Avenue, spaces can fill up rapidly—aim to arrive 30 to 45 minutes prior to venue doors opening to guarantee a space.
