About this Location

Facility Overview

Lot #48 is a conveniently positioned, open-air surface parking facility located at 2441 NW Kearney Street in the heart of Portland's celebrated Northwest District (often referred to as Nob Hill or the Alphabet District). Spanning between NW Kearney Street and NW Lovejoy Street, this through-lot layout allows for seamless access and flexible navigation from both directions. Because it is an open-air lot with wide-open sky clearance and no low-hanging garage decks or restrictive overhead beams, Lot #48 is exceptionally vehicle-friendly. It comfortably accommodates standard sedans, compact crossovers, full-size SUVs, lifted pickup trucks, passenger vans, and high-roof work vehicles that typically cannot fit into standard downtown underground garages.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Parking in Portland's Northwest District is often tightly regulated with strict zoned time limits on the street; using Lot #48 eliminates the stress of timing meters or getting ticketed. When booking through SpotHero or paying on-site, always verify that your vehicle's license plate number is entered accurately in the system to avoid citations. Drivers may park in any unmarked or open stall, but take care to observe any stalls designated with specific private or reserved business markers. If arriving during evening dining peaks (Thursday through Saturday), booking ahead on a mobile parking app ensures a guaranteed space waiting for your arrival.
