About this Location

Facility Overview

860 Lexington St Parking is an open-air, ground-level surface parking lot situated along the bustling Lexington Street corridor in northern Waltham, Massachusetts. Designed to accommodate tenants, visitors, clients, and local commuters, the lot features an accessible layout with clearly delineated parking bays and smooth asphalt paving. Because it is a surface lot without overhead barriers or multi-story decking, it boasts unrestricted vertical clearance. This makes it an ideal option not only for standard compact cars and passenger sedans, but also for full-size SUVs, pickup trucks, and commercial or utility vans that often face clearance challenges in multi-level city garages.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Lexington Street can experience moderate to heavy traffic flow during morning drop-off hours and late-afternoon commutes, so plan your arrival accordingly to allow extra time when turning across traffic. When entering, observe all posted directional signage and maintain low speeds to accommodate pedestrian foot traffic moving between vehicles and adjacent entrances. If visiting during winter months, check for posted temporary snow-clearing parking restrictions following major New England winter storms.
