Facility Overview
Situated in the Langdon and Fort Lincoln industrial corridor of Northeast Washington, D.C., 2240 25th Pl NE Parking provides practical and spacious surface parking in a busy urban pocket. This outdoor, open-air lot offers an easy, drive-up layout designed to accommodate a diverse selection of vehicles. Because the lot is completely open without overhead clearance limitations, it easily welcomes full-size pickup trucks, large SUVs, work vans, and high-roof utility vehicles that commonly exceed the height restrictions of multi-level downtown parking garages.
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
The facility benefits from a strategic position right off key Northeast D.C. thoroughfares, including New York Avenue NE (US-50) and Bladensburg Road NE. It serves as a convenient parking hub for several nearby neighborhood venues and cultural attractions:
- United States National Arboretum: Located just a few minutes south, offering 446 acres of scenic gardens, bonsai collections, and historic Capitol columns.
