About this Location

Facility Overview

873 North 1200 West Parking is a spacious, open-air surface parking facility situated in northwest Orem, Utah. Located right along the 1200 West commercial and light-industrial corridor, this facility features a wide-bay asphalt layout designed to handle a broad range of personal and commercial vehicles.

Visitor & Driver Tips

When arriving from Interstate 15, take Exit 272 for 800 North, head west, and make a quick turn north onto 1200 West; the property will be located promptly on your left. During heavy weekday commuting windows (typically 7:30 AM to 9:00 AM and 4:30 PM to 6:00 PM), traffic along 800 North can become congested near the freeway interchange, so consider utilizing Geneva Road or 400 North as alternate east-west routes. Always observe posted on-site property signage to ensure parking in designated customer, visitor, or permitted stalls.
