Facility Overview
Colonial Parking operates the Rockville Town Square Garage (designated as Garage A / Lot 771), situated directly at 330 Hungerford Drive in the heart of downtown Rockville, Maryland. This modern, multi-level covered parking garage provides sheltered, secure parking beneath and adjacent to the vibrant mixed-use Rockville Town Square district. The structure features clearly demarcated driving lanes, well-organized elevator cores, and bright interior visibility across every level. With a vertical height restriction of 7 feet 0 inches (2.13 m), the garage easily accommodates compact cars, sedans, crossovers, standard full-size SUVs, and standard light pickup trucks. However, lifted commercial vehicles, high-roof conversion vans, and vehicles with oversized rooftop cargo carriers must seek surface parking alternatives due to the overhead clearance limitations.
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
Serving as the primary gateway to Rockville Town Square (often known locally as "The Square"), this facility places drivers within steps of premier cultural, dining, and civic destinations. Key attractions within an easy 2- to 8-minute walk include:

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
Vehicle entry and exit are straightforward, though drivers should note local traffic patterns. The primary Hungerford Drive (Maryland Route 355) entrance is accessible when traveling southeast between Beall Avenue and East Middle Lane. A secondary convenient entrance and exit is located around the block at 22 Maryland Avenue, giving motorists flexibility during peak times. Exiting motorists can quickly funnel onto MD-355, connecting seamlessly within minutes to Interstate 270 (Exit 5/6) and Route 28 (East Jefferson Street / Montgomery Avenue).
For multi-modal transit commuters, the garage is strategically positioned just an 8-minute walk (0.3 miles) from the Rockville Metro Station. This station offers direct connections to the Washington Metro Red Line, MARC Brunswick Line commuter trains, Amtrak regional services, and multiple Montgomery County Ride On bus routes.

Visitor & Driver Tips
To ensure a seamless visit, take your entry ticket with you when leaving your vehicle. While Rockville Town Square offers complimentary parking for the initial visit period (standardly 90 minutes to 2 hours), any stay exceeding the free allotment requires payment at the lobby "Easy Pay" pay stations before returning to your car. If booking through SpotHero or ColonialFlex, keep your digital parking pass accessible on your mobile phone and follow gate scanning or barcode instructions upon arrival. If you are entering from MD-355 during weekday evening rush hours, plan ahead for heavy southbound traffic, or utilize the Maryland Avenue entrance for faster access.
