About this Location

Facility Overview

The parking facility at 2110 New York Avenue Northeast provides open-air surface parking conveniently situated along one of Washington, D.C.\'s most vital arterial corridors. Nestled in the Gateway and Ivy City border zone of Ward 5, this spacious open lot offers straightforward, level ground parking without the restrictive ceiling clearance hazards inherent to dense downtown underground parking garages. Because there are no vertical clearance barriers, the lot easily accommodates standard passenger sedans, large pickup trucks, full-size SUVs, commercial work vans, and high-roof transit vehicles that typically cannot enter conventional multi-story parking structures.

When planning your trip, be mindful of peak weekday traffic patterns along US Route 50; allowing an extra 15 to 20 minutes during rush hours ensures relaxed parking. If you are parking for major weekend evening events or concerts at nearby venues, arrive early to secure optimal parking stalls and allow time for rideshares or walks to your destination. Always verify posted signage on-site for any mobile app registration or daily payment instructions, and practice smart urban parking habits by securing your vehicle and stowing personal belongings and valuables out of sight.
