Facility Overview
Situated at 200-216 Michigan Ave NE in Northeast Washington, D.C., this parking facility offers convenient and reliable open-air surface parking in the heart of the Brookland and Edgewood educational and medical corridor. Designed with open-plan ground-level stalls, the facility accommodates standard passenger sedans, crossovers, full-size SUVs, and large pickup trucks with ease. Because it is an outdoor surface parking lot, there are no restrictive overhead height clearances, making it an excellent choice for taller vehicles, conversion vans, and utility trucks that cannot fit into standard subterranean parking decks.

Visitor & Driver Tips
Michigan Avenue experiences heavy commuter volume during weekday morning and late afternoon rush hours; allow a few extra minutes for entering and exiting during these windows. If you are visiting during major university commencement ceremonies, national religious holidays, or special masses at the Basilica, demand rises quickly throughout Brookland, so reserving your space in advance via mobile parking platforms is strongly recommended.
