Facility Overview
The Amazon Fresh Parking Garage at 3730 Manor Road serves the premier mixed-use Chevy Chase Lake development in Chevy Chase, Maryland. Constructed as a modern, multi-level covered parking structure, this facility provides protected, climate-buffered parking for grocery shoppers, local retail patrons, and neighborhood visitors. The garage features wide travel lanes, clearly demarcated stalls, bright architectural LED illumination, and a clean wayfinding layout. Most standard passenger sedans, compact crossovers, and full-size SUVs can park comfortably; however, drivers of oversized commercial vans, lifted pickup trucks, or vehicles equipped with high roof carriers should mind overhead height clearance bars posted at the entrance (standard clearance typically 7 feet 0 inches to 8 feet 2 inches depending on the level).
