About this Location

Facility Overview

The Nine North Parking Garage (frequently designated as the 9North/Buckingham Garage) is an essential, multi-level covered parking structure situated at 9 North Euclid Avenue in the heart of St. Louis's historic Central West End (CWE). Integrated directly into the bustling Euclid streetscape, this modern, sheltered facility provides convenient off-street public and monthly parking in one of the city's highest-density residential, retail, and medical corridors. The garage features clearly demarcated circulation lanes, dedicated ADA-compliant bays, and well-maintained passenger elevators and stairwells. With standard urban parking garage clearance guidelines (typically accommodating vehicles up to approximately 6 feet 8 inches to 7 feet), it easily serves standard passenger sedans, compact crossovers, and mid-to-full-size family SUVs. Drivers of commercial high-roof cargo vans, extended-cab lifted trucks, or vehicles equipped with high rooftop equipment should verify height signs at the threshold before entering.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Watch for Pedestrians on Euclid: North Euclid Avenue is a bustling pedestrian thoroughfare; stay vigilant for foot traffic, cyclists, and patio crowds when pulling into and out of the garage approach.
Retain Your Entry Ticket: Always carry your parking ticket with you to use automated walk-up pay stations before returning to your vehicle to expedite your departure.
Consider Peak Dinner Hours: Friday and Saturday evenings draw substantial crowds to Euclid Avenue dining spots; arriving slightly before peak dinner hours (around 5:30 PM to 6:00 PM) makes finding prime spaces on lower decks easier.
Medical District Overflow: If the primary hospital parking garages south of Forest Park Parkway are congested, this facility offers an easy walking commute with straightforward, tree-lined sidewalks.
