About this Location

Facility Overview

The Broadway Garage is a multi-level, covered parking structure centrally positioned along the bustling Broadway corridor in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Designed to accommodate the high parking demand generated by the area\'s thriving biotech, educational, and tech sectors, this facility provides dependable, sheltered vehicle parking year-round. The garage features clear interior navigational signage, wide drive aisles, and structured parking decks that offer complete protection from harsh New England winters and humid summer weather. The facility comfortably accommodates standard passenger sedans, compact crossovers, and mid-size SUVs. Drivers operating full-size pickup trucks, large passenger vans, or vehicles equipped with rooftop cargo accessories should observe the posted vertical clearance limit (typically 6 feet 8 inches to 7 feet) at the entryway before proceeding inside.
