Facility Overview
The 4520 East-West Highway Garage, professionally managed by Propark Mobility, offers prime covered subterranean and structured parking in the heart of Downtown Bethesda, Maryland. Serving both the prominent 4520 East-West Highway commercial building and surrounding downtown businesses, this clean and well-maintained facility provides a seamless, sheltered parking experience protected from weather extremes. The garage features clearly designated lanes, modern LED lighting, and standard parking bays tailored for compact cars, sedans, crossovers, and mid-size SUVs. Drivers of full-size pickup trucks, lifted off-road vehicles, or high-roof commercial vans should pay careful attention to the overhead clearance height limit (posted on-site at approximately 6 feet 8 inches), which prohibits oversized vehicles.
