About this Location

Facility Overview

The 4959 Fairmont Ave Garage is a secure, modern covered parking facility situated in the bustling Woodmont Triangle district of Downtown Bethesda, Maryland. Integrated seamlessly into the vibrant commercial and residential fabric of the area, this facility provides dependable, sheltered multi-level parking protected from rain, snow, and extreme temperatures. The garage is designed to accommodate standard passenger cars, sedans, crossovers, and mid-sized SUVs. Due to overhead clearance barriers typical of urban structured decks (generally between 6 feet 8 inches and 7 feet), drivers of lifted trucks, oversized commercial vans, and roof-rack-equipped vehicles should verify posted clearance signs at the entrance before entering.
