Overview & Suitability
Located at 506 S Moody Ave in the vibrant SoHo district of Tampa, this facility is a surface-level parking lot known as Lot 506. It serves as a convenient parking hub for visitors exploring the popular shops, salons, and restaurants along South Howard Avenue. The lot is primarily designed for standard passenger vehicles and is highly sought after by those enjoying the local nightlife and retail scene.
Access, Dimensions & Clearance
As an open-air surface lot, the facility provides easy, ground-level access for standard passenger cars and SUVs. There are no height clearance restrictions typical of parking garages, making it accessible for larger non-commercial vehicles; however, drivers should be mindful of standard parking space dimensions.
Parking Rates, Tariffs & Booking
The facility is managed by Safeway Parking Enterprises. Pricing is structured around monthly parking options, which are often listed at approximately $75.00, though availability can be limited. Because this lot is a private facility often used by surrounding businesses, visitors are encouraged to verify current signage for daily or hourly public parking availability upon arrival, as space can be subject to high demand during peak weekend hours.
Security & Amenities
The lot operates as a self-park surface facility. While it lacks the extensive electronic security infrastructure found in multi-level garages, its strategic location behind commercial storefronts on South Howard Avenue provides a degree of natural surveillance from the surrounding high-traffic area. There are no specialized amenities such as EV charging or covered parking at this site.
Strategic Alternative
This lot acts as an excellent alternative to street parking in the South Howard (SoHo) district. For visitors seeking to avoid the challenges of metered street parking or the risk of towing in restricted residential zones nearby, Lot 506 offers a dedicated, off-street space within walking distance of the district's most popular dining and entertainment venues.
