Facility Overview
The Carroll Square Garage, located at 609 10th St NW, provides a premier, secure parking solution in the heart of Washington, D.C.'s vibrant Penn Quarter. This facility is a professional, multi-level underground parking garage offering convenient valet services, ensuring a stress-free experience in a busy metropolitan area. The garage features four subterranean levels. While standard passenger cars and SUVs are easily accommodated, please note that the facility has strict clearance limits.
