Facility Overview
The Metropolis parking facility, located at 801 17th St NW in the heart of Washington, D.C., provides a premium parking solution within the prestigious Farragut Square/Golden Triangle district. As a secure, multi-level structure, it offers a blend of convenience and protection from the elements. The garage is optimized for standard passenger vehicles, sedans, and crossover SUVs. While it accommodates most daily drivers, those operating high-roof vans or lifted trucks should be mindful of standard underground clearance limitations typical of D.C. urban garages.
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
Strategically positioned just steps away from the bustling K Street corridor, this facility is an ideal anchor for both business and leisure. Visitors are within a 5-minute walk of the White House and Lafayette Square. It is also highly convenient for professionals attending meetings at nearby corporate offices or tourists exploring the National Mall, which is reachable in under 15 minutes by foot. The vibrant dining scenes of Dupont Circle and the nightlife of Foggy Bottom are just a short rideshare or pleasant walk away.
Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
Access is provided via 17th Street NW, a major artery that allows for efficient ingress. Traffic flow is typical of downtown D.C., so drivers should anticipate moderate congestion during morning and evening rush hours. The location boasts exceptional transit connectivity, being located within a short block of the Farragut North (Red Line) and Farragut West (Blue, Orange, and Silver Lines) Metro stations, making it the perfect hub for those who wish to park and transition to public rail for the remainder of their journey.
