About this Location

Facility Overview

The 2122 24th Place NE Parking facility offers an accessible and functional open-air parking solution situated in the Langdon and Gateway commercial corridor of Northeast Washington, D.C. Positioned conveniently off New York Avenue NE (US Route 50) and Bladensburg Road NE, this surface parking lot provides straightforward vehicle access and maneuverability. Because it is an unobstructed open-air lot, there are no overhead structural height restrictions, making it an exceptional option not only for standard sedans, crossovers, and passenger cars, but also for full-size pickup trucks, commercial vans, work utility vehicles, and high-roof transporters that cannot fit inside standard subterranean or multi-story downtown parking decks.
