Facility Overview
Downtime Parking at 738 Broadway provides a dependable and accessible open-air surface parking facility situated along the vibrant Route 99 commercial corridor in Everett, Massachusetts. Designed to accommodate everyday neighborhood visitors, local shoppers, and regional commuters heading into Greater Boston, this ground-level parking lot features straightforward drive-in bays with generous maneuvering lanes. Because the facility is an outdoor, uncovered lot without overhead height obstacles, it provides open vertical clearance, making it suitable for standard compacts, sedans, full-sized SUVs, pickup trucks, and high-roof trade or cargo vans that cannot enter standard low-clearance underground garages.
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
Positioned in the heart of Everett between Glendale Square and the bustling Broadway retail strip, this location places drivers within quick reach of numerous local amenities and regional destinations. Glendale Park and Everett High School are within a comfortable 5 to 10-minute walk, while a rich variety of neighborhood dining spots, cafes, bakeries, and retail storefronts line the immediate blocks of Broadway. For entertainment and nightlife, the world-class Encore Boston Harbor casino and resort is located just two miles south straight down Broadway (approximately a 6 to 8-minute drive or direct bus ride). Additionally, the Everett Fermentation District—home to renowned craft destinations like Night Shift Brewing and Short Path Distillery—along with Assembly Row and Gateway Center shopping hubs, are all accessible within an 8 to 12-minute commute.
Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
The facility features direct street-level ingress and egress from Broadway (Route 99), which serves as the primary north-south arterial linking Everett to Route 16 (Revere Beach Parkway), Route 1, and Interstate 93 into downtown Boston. Exiting and merging back onto Broadway is straightforward outside of peak commuter rush hours. For travelers utilizing public transit to reach Boston or Cambridge, several MBTA bus lines (including Routes 99, 104, 109, and 110) run directly along Broadway, providing rapid, high-frequency bus service directly to the MBTA Orange Line subway at Sullivan Square, Wellington Station, and Malden Center.

When approaching the property, signal early to ensure a smooth turn into the lot entrance. If you plan to park during major regional events or holidays at Encore Boston Harbor or downtown Boston, consider arriving early to secure a convenient space. Always verify posted tariff signage upon arrival and register your vehicle plate accurately through mobile pay platforms where applicable.
