About this Location

Facility Overview

The Goodspeed Parking Garage at 12503 Ardennes Avenue is a modern, covered parking structure integrated into the Kanso Twinbrook community in Rockville, Maryland. Positioned in the energetic Twinbrook district just off the bustling Rockville Pike corridor, this garage offers secure, sheltered parking shielded from seasonal Mid-Atlantic weather. The facility utilizes automated digital parking management technology powered by Goodspeed Parking, streamlining driver ingress and egress through frictionless mobile-driven entry. The garage layout features clearly defined stalls, generous drive aisles, and directional signage suitable for compact vehicles, sedans, crossovers, and standard-sized SUVs. Due to standard multi-level garage overhead framing, vertical clearance is restricted to standard passenger vehicle heights (typically 6 feet 8 inches to 7 feet), meaning high-roof cargo vans, lifted pickup trucks, and vehicles with rooftop luggage carriers should confirm clearance before entering.
