About this Location

Facility Overview

Colonial Parking at 64 New York Ave NE is a modern, secure covered parking garage located in the heart of Washington, DC\'s vibrant NoMa (North of Massachusetts Avenue) neighborhood. Situated in a prominent commercial corridor adjacent to federal offices and technology hubs, this multi-level parking deck offers a seamless parking experience for daily commuters, business clients, and visitors alike. The facility features wide driving lanes, clearly designated bays, and professional lighting throughout. Vehicle suitability is tailored primarily for standard passenger sedans, compact crossovers, minivans, and mid-to-full-size SUVs. Drivers of lifted pickup trucks or high-roof commercial vans should verify the overhead clearance at the entrance, as structured clearance generally restricts vehicles over standard garage limits (typically 6\'8\").
