About this Location

Facility Overview

Neighbor Car Storage at 840 D St SW offers dedicated vehicle parking and storage solutions in the vibrant Southwest Waterfront / L\'Enfant Plaza district of Washington, DC. Situated adjacent to major federal agency headquarters and just steps from the scenic Southwest Waterfront, this location provides reliable vehicle staging in an urban corridor where parking space is at a premium. The facility accommodates standard passenger sedans, crossover utility vehicles, mid-size and full-size SUVs, minivans, and standard-bed pickup trucks. Because access and clearance guidelines are tied to urban parking structures in the district, drivers operating specialized oversized vehicles, high-roof cargo vans, or commercial trucks should verify specific dimension allowances in advance of arrival.
