About this Location

Facility Overview

The parking facility located at 2131 K St NW is a prime parking solution situated in the heart of Washington, D.C.\'s vibrant Foggy Bottom/West End neighborhood. Positioned within a dense commercial and residential corridor, this location primarily functions as an urban parking deck. The layout is optimized for compact to mid-sized passenger vehicles. While standard sedans and SUVs fit comfortably, prospective drivers with over-sized vehicles, high-roof conversion vans, or lifted pickup trucks should exercise caution as vertical clearance is typical of older D.C. parking structures, often capped at approximately 6 feet 4 inches.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

This location serves as a strategic hub for visitors and professionals alike. Its proximity to key District landmarks makes it an essential stop for:

George Washington University Campus: Less than a 10-minute walk, perfect for students, faculty, and visiting parents.
The Kennedy Center: Approximately a 15-minute walk to the premier performing arts venue.
Foggy Bottom-GWU Metro Station: Easily accessible within a 5-minute walk, providing seamless access to the Blue, Orange, and Silver lines.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

Entry and exit are managed via K Street, a major thoroughfare. Drivers should be prepared for typical D.C. rush hour congestion, particularly between 7:30 AM and 9:30 AM, and again during the evening commute. The lot benefits from immediate access to the Rock Creek and Potomac Parkway, allowing for relatively quick connections to northern D.C. or out towards Arlington, Virginia, via the Key Bridge. For transit commuters, the proximity to the Foggy Bottom-GWU Metro station effectively bridges the gap between private vehicle travel and public rail transit.

Visitor & Driver Tips

To ensure a seamless experience, we highly recommend utilizing mobile parking apps like ParkMobile or SpotHero to check real-time availability and potentially secure a lower daily rate before you arrive. If visiting during a high-profile Kennedy Center event, aim to arrive at least 45 minutes prior to curtain time, as traffic on K Street can become dense. Always check for posted clearance signage at the entrance gate before proceeding to ensure your vehicle is within the safe height limits.
