Facility Overview
Situated in the heart of Washington, D.C.'s sophisticated West End neighborhood, Commutyble - Legacy West End is a premier underground parking garage located at 1255 22nd Street NW. Integrated beneath the upscale Legacy West End residential community, this modern parking facility provides secure, weather-protected subterranean parking powered by Commutyble’s seamless, technology-forward access management system. The facility features bright LED illumination, well-defined driving lanes, and clean, clearly demarcated stalls designed for smooth vehicle maneuvering.
The garage accommodates a wide variety of standard passenger vehicles, including sedans, crossovers, compact cars, station wagons, and standard-sized SUVs. Due to its subterranean design and standard architectural clearance limits (typically 6 feet 6 inches to 6 feet 8 inches), drivers of oversized pickup trucks, lifted off-road vehicles, commercial box vans, and vehicles equipped with high-profile rooftop cargo boxes or ski racks should exercise caution or seek dedicated surface parking.
