About this Location

Facility Overview

The Downtown Crown Parking Garage, situated at 350 Copley Place in Gaithersburg, Maryland, is a modern multi-level covered parking facility serving the vibrant Downtown Crown mixed-use community. Designed to provide seamless access to the neighborhood\'s active shopping, dining, and residential core, the garage offers a clean, well-lit, and weather-protected parking environment across multiple structured tiers. The facility comfortably accommodates standard passenger cars, crossovers, minivans, and full-size SUVs, featuring clearly marked stalls and smooth interior turning radii. Drivers operating oversized commercial vehicles, lifted pickup trucks, or high-roof passenger vans should verify posted vertical clearance bars (typically around 7 feet / 84 inches) before entry, as overhead pipe runs and structural beams restrict extra-height clearance.

Visitor & Driver Tips

During busy Friday and Saturday dinner hours, the lower levels near the street exit fill up rapidly; drivers are encouraged to proceed directly to the upper tiers for quick, stress-free space availability.
