About this Location

Facility Overview

The 3838 N Causeway Blvd Garage is a multi-level covered parking structure located at 3288 5th Street in Metairie, Louisiana. Strategically serving the prominent Three Lakeway Center commercial tower along the bustling North Causeway business corridor, this structured facility offers extensive sheltered vehicle storage protected from the subtropical Louisiana weather. The garage features wide driving aisles, ramped transitions between floors, and clearly marked stalls configured for smooth navigation. Standard passenger cars, crossover utility vehicles, minivans, and mid-sized pickup trucks can comfortably access the decks. However, drivers of lifted 4x4 trucks, commercial conversion vans, or vehicles with elevated cargo carriers must verify the posted overhead clearance bar (typically 6 feet 8 inches to 7 feet) at the entry gate, as oversized vehicles and high-roof models may require alternative ground-level parking.

Visitor & Driver Tips

During weekday morning peak arrival hours (8:00 AM to 9:30 AM) and evening departures (4:30 PM to 6:00 PM), traffic along Causeway Boulevard and the I-10 ramps experiences heavy volume; allow an extra 10 to 15 minutes when traveling during these rush windows. Remember to note your parking deck level and stall identifier or snap a photo of the nearest elevator bank before heading to your destination. If you are attending an evening conference or banquet, check with your event host or office reception regarding parking validation tickets to reduce or waive posted tariffs at the exit gate.
