About this Location

Facility Overview

Located at 1205 Wisconsin Ave NW, Washington, DC 20007, this Colonial Parking facility is a surface-level, open-air lot, commonly known as the PNC Bank Lot (Lot 469). Situated in the historic Georgetown district, the lot provides a practical parking solution for visitors to one of the city's most bustling commercial corridors. Because this is an open-air surface lot, it is highly suitable for standard passenger vehicles, SUVs, and pickup trucks, as there are no overhead clearance restrictions that typically challenge high-roof vans or oversized trucks in underground or multi-level garages.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

This lot is strategically positioned in the heart of Georgetown. It is within a short walking distance of:

M Street NW: Georgetown's primary retail and dining artery, accessible in just a few minutes.
Prospect St NW: Provides access to historic residences and local landmarks.
Shopping & Dining: The surrounding area features iconic boutiques, flagship stores like Apple Georgetown, and renowned dining establishments.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

The lot is located on the east side of Wisconsin Avenue NW, between M Street NW and Prospect Street NW. Access is straightforward for those navigating the busy Wisconsin Avenue corridor. While Georgetown is not served by a direct Metro subway station, it is highly accessible via the DC Circulator bus, which connects visitors to the Foggy Bottom-GWU Metro station (Orange, Blue, and Silver lines) and other major parts of the city. Drivers should be aware that Wisconsin Avenue and M Street can experience heavy traffic, particularly on weekends and during evening hours.
