About this Location

Facility Overview

Situated at the vibrant crossroads of the West End and Dupont Circle neighborhoods in Washington, DC, 2201 N Street NW - Lot #152 is an easily accessible open-air surface parking lot. Managed by premier regional parking operators, this location offers convenient parking directly off N Street NW, close to the intersection of 22nd Street NW. Because it is an outdoor, open-sky lot without restrictive overhead garage beams or ceiling decks, the facility provides exceptional clearance suitable for a wide spectrum of vehicles. Standard sedans, crossovers, full-size pickup trucks (such as Ford F-150 and Chevy Silverado), full-size SUVs, and rooftop-accessorized vehicles can park without any vertical height clearance concerns that typically trouble downtown parking garages.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Because N Street NW is a one-way street heading west, drivers should plan their approach by turning onto N Street from 21st Street NW or Connecticut Avenue. During weekday morning rush hours (8:00 AM – 9:30 AM) and weekend dining rushes, surface spaces in this dense residential-commercial enclave fill quickly; booking your reservation ahead of time via parking mobile applications is strongly advised to guarantee your space. Always ensure your license plate is correctly entered into the pay station or mobile app to prevent unnecessary ticketing.
