Facility Overview
Located in the heart of Washington, D.C.'s bustling downtown district, the 1201 New York Avenue NW Garage (accessed via 1210 I St NW) is a premier indoor parking facility. This structured garage provides secure, weather-protected parking in a professional office building setting. The facility is designed for standard passenger vehicles; however, due to its urban underground nature, it has a strict vertical clearance limit of approximately 6 feet 2 inches to 6 feet 8 inches. Large pickup trucks, high-roof conversion vans, and oversized SUVs may find clearance tight or restrictive.

Visitor & Driver Tips
To ensure a stress-free experience, we recommend booking your parking in advance via mobile apps to guarantee availability, especially during event nights at the nearby arenas. Arriving at least 30-45 minutes before curtain time or tip-off is advisable, as downtown traffic can be heavy. Always verify your height clearance before entering if driving a larger SUV, and remember to use your mobile parking pass for the quickest entry and exit speeds.
