Facility Overview
Located at 2401 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, this parking facility is situated in the prestigious West End neighborhood of Washington, D.C. The site primarily serves as a surface-level parking lot providing essential vehicle storage in a high-demand urban corridor. Due to its open-air design, this lot is exceptionally well-suited for standard passenger vehicles, full-size SUVs, and pickup trucks, as there are no vertical clearance restrictions common in underground parking decks or low-ceiling garages.
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
This location offers unparalleled access to some of the capital\'s most significant destinations. It is within comfortable walking distance of the George Washington University campus and the Foggy Bottom-GWU Metro station. The lot is an ideal staging ground for visitors heading to the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, the historic Watergate complex, and the high-end dining and retail establishments along M Street in Georgetown. Its proximity to the Foggy Bottom district makes it a strategic choice for business professionals and government employees working in the nearby international offices and embassies.
Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
The lot is accessible via Pennsylvania Avenue, a major arterial road that connects directly to key thoroughfares leading toward downtown D.C. or the Potomac River crossings. While traffic in this corridor can be dense during rush hours, the lot\'s placement allows for efficient entry and egress compared to smaller, alley-bound facilities. Public transit users benefit from immediate access to the WMATA Metrorail system (Blue, Orange, and Silver lines) located just blocks away at the Foggy Bottom-GWU station, facilitating seamless travel throughout the DMV area.
