Facility Overview
The Lee Street Parking facility is a strategically located parking asset situated at 121-125 11th St SW, Charlottesville, VA. This location serves as a critical point of access for visitors navigating the bustling university and hospital corridor. The site is primarily an open-air, asphalt-surfaced lot designed for high-turnover use. It accommodates standard passenger vehicles, sedans, and most standard SUVs.
