About this Location

Facility Overview

The 2301 M St NW Garage is a secure, subterranean multi-level parking facility situated at the prominent intersection of M Street NW and 23rd Street NW in Washington, DC's vibrant West End neighborhood. Integrated within the commercial and medical complex at 2301 M Street—home to premier healthcare offices like the Kaiser Permanente Northwest D.C. Medical Office Building and popular ground-floor cafes—the facility provides protected below-ground parking tailored for professional commuters, medical patients, and neighborhood visitors. The garage features a dedicated subterranean structure with striped bays, clear directional signage, and direct elevator access to building lobbies and street-level sidewalks.

Vehicle suitability is ideal for standard sedans, compact crossovers, mid-size SUVs, and standard minivans. Because this is an enclosed underground parking deck, it operates under standard urban subterranean vertical clearance restrictions (generally accommodating vehicles up to 6 feet 2 inches to 6 feet 4 inches). Drivers of full-size lifted pickup trucks, high-roof cargo vans, or passenger vehicles equipped with rooftop cargo containers or bike racks should check clearance signage prior to entry or use alternative open-air surface facilities.

Accessing the garage is straightforward via the primary entrance ramp located on 23rd Street NW, situated just north of M Street NW on the right-hand side. Both M Street and 23rd Street are key thoroughfares connecting downtown DC with Georgetown and Northern Virginia. Outbound drivers enjoy swift access to major arterial routes, including Pennsylvania Avenue NW, K Street NW, and the Whitehurst Freeway (US Route 29), which leads directly across the Francis Scott Key Bridge into Arlington or links to the Rock Creek and Potomac Parkway and Interstate 66 via the Theodore Roosevelt Bridge.

Public transit connectivity in the surrounding area is exceptional. The garage is located within a 7-minute walk of the Foggy Bottom-GWU Metro Station (serviced by the Blue, Orange, and Silver lines) and about 10 minutes from the Dupont Circle Metro Station (serviced by the Red line). Multiple Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) Metrobus routes also stop along Pennsylvania Avenue and M Street, making the facility a practical park-and-ride transition point for travelers navigating central DC.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Operating hours at this commercial garage primarily cater to weekday business traffic (typically opening early morning at 7:00 AM and closing in the evening at 7:00 PM Monday through Friday, remaining closed on weekends). If you plan to dine late in Georgetown or attend evening performances at the Kennedy Center, verify evening closing hours with the garage attendant or check nearby 24-hour hotel garages along 24th or M Street. Kaiser Permanente patients and clinic visitors should bring their parking ticket to reception desks to confirm validation eligibility or complimentary valet options. During weekday rush hours (8:00 AM–9:30 AM and 4:30 PM–6:30 PM), allow an extra 5 to 10 minutes when turning onto 23rd Street NW from M Street to navigate regional commuter congestion.
