About this Location

Facility Overview

Constitution Parking, located at 3217 Water St NW in the historic Georgetown waterfront district of Washington, DC, offers a convenient parking solution in one of the city\'s most vibrant areas. This facility is primarily a surface-level parking lot, designed for ease of access and quick entry and exit. Due to its open-air, ground-level format, it is exceptionally well-suited for standard passenger cars, sedans, and SUVs. Because there are no overhead structures, this lot accommodates taller vehicles such as full-size pickup trucks and high-roof SUVs that might otherwise struggle with the low clearances found in traditional underground DC garages.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

Situated directly along the Potomac River, this parking location is an ideal hub for visitors looking to explore Georgetown. Guests are steps away from the iconic Georgetown Waterfront Park, a premier destination for scenic river views and outdoor recreation. The lot is also within a short walking distance of the bustling M Street shopping corridor, high-end boutiques, and world-class dining establishments. For those visiting Georgetown University, the campus is easily accessible, making this lot a strategic spot for faculty, students, and campus event attendees.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

Access to the lot is efficiently handled from Water Street, allowing for smooth entry away from the congestion of M Street. While Washington DC traffic can be dense during peak hours, this location benefits from its proximity to major arteries like the Whitehurst Freeway (US-29) and Canal Road, which facilitate quick transit to and from downtown and the suburbs. While the lot is not directly on a Metro line, it is well-served by local DC Circulator bus routes and several WMATA bus stops, providing a seamless link to the Foggy Bottom-GWU Metro station for travelers heading further into the city.
