Facility Overview
The 3201 New Mexico Garage, operated by Atlantic Parking, is a professional parking facility situated in the heart of the Cathedral Heights neighborhood in Northwest Washington, D.C. This structure offers a secure, climate-protected environment ideal for safeguarding vehicles against the elements. The facility is primarily designed for standard passenger vehicles, sedans, and crossover SUVs. While it accommodates most daily commuters, larger full-size trucks or high-roof commercial vans may encounter standard garage vertical clearance restrictions common in D.C. urban architecture.

Visitor & Driver Tips
For the smoothest experience, we recommend arriving at least 15 minutes before your scheduled appointment if visiting local businesses. During peak weekday mornings, New Mexico Ave can experience moderate congestion, so allow for extra travel time. Always ensure your license plate information is accurate if utilizing mobile payment apps, as this is the primary method for verification in this garage. If you are a first-time visitor, check the entrance signage for updated vertical clearance markers to ensure compatibility with roof racks or specialized vehicle modifications.
