Facility Overview
The CVS parking lot at 1740 Washington Road is an easily accessible, dedicated surface lot serving patrons of CVS Pharmacy and local corridor visitors in the South Hills suburb of Upper St. Clair, directly bordering Bethel Park and Mt. Lebanon. Situated directly off the primary commercial artery of US-19 (Washington Road), this open-air asphalt parking facility offers unobstructed, ground-level bays. Because there are no overhead clearance barriers, low-hanging pipes, or multi-story height restrictions, this lot accommodates all standard passenger vehicles, oversized SUVs, pickup trucks, and high-roof utility or medical transport vans without clearance concerns.
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
Located in the heart of Pittsburgh’s premier South Hills retail corridor, this facility is ideally positioned for quick neighborhood errands, pharmacy visits, and convenient retail stops. Key destinations in the surrounding vicinity include:

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
Ingress and egress are straightforward, with curb-cut driveway entrances off Washington Road (US-19) designed to accommodate two-way traffic. Motorists should note that Washington Road experiences heavy commuter flow during weekday morning and evening peak travel times, so turning left across traffic requires patience or utilizing nearby signal-controlled intersections. For transit travelers, the Pittsburgh Regional Transit (PRT) South Hills Village Light Rail Station (The \"T\" Red and Silver lines) is located roughly one mile away, providing seamless, rail-bound access into Downtown Pittsburgh, North Shore stadiums (Acrisure Stadium and PNC Park), and Station Square.
