Facility Overview
Station House Garage, operated by LAZ Parking, is an underground, multi-level structured parking facility situated beneath the Station House residential complex at 701 2nd Street NE in Washington, DC. Located strategically at the convergence of Capitol Hill, NoMa (North of Massachusetts Avenue), and the vibrant Near Northeast corridor, this secure covered garage provides premium sheltered parking away from street-level congestion and weather elements. The facility features standard single-space stalls, well-maintained driving lanes, and clear directional guidance. While the garage easily accommodates compact sedans, standard passenger cars, crossovers, and mid-sized SUVs, high-profile commercial vans, lifted trucks, or vehicles exceeding the standard overhead clearance limit (typically 6 feet 8 inches) should seek open-air surface alternatives in the nearby area.
