Facility Overview
AIVA Parking LLC, located at 1820 14th St NW, Washington, DC, is a strategically positioned parking facility situated in the vibrant U Street Corridor of Northwest Washington. This location functions primarily as a surface-level parking lot, offering straightforward access for drivers navigating the high-density urban environment of the 14th Street corridor. The lot is designed to accommodate standard passenger vehicles, sedans, and most mid-size SUVs. Due to its open-air, surface-lot nature, there are no vertical clearance restrictions, making it an excellent choice for drivers with roof-mounted cargo carriers or taller light-duty trucks, though drivers of exceptionally large commercial vehicles should exercise caution due to the standard stall dimensions.

Visitor & Driver Tips
To ensure a seamless experience, we recommend arriving at least 30 to 45 minutes before major events at nearby venues to account for street-level congestion. Given the popularity of the U Street area, pre-booking your space via digital parking platforms is highly encouraged to guarantee availability, especially on Friday and Saturday evenings. When using GPS, ensure you are directed to the 14th Street entry point; keep in mind that traffic flow on 14th Street is one-way in sections during rush hour, so plan your approach from the north or south accordingly.
