Facility Overview
The 1133 19th Street NW Garage is a modern, subterranean commercial parking facility strategically situated in the core of Washington, DC's vibrant Golden Triangle Central Business District, just south of Dupont Circle. Serving both high-density office commuters and visiting patrons, this multi-level underground parking deck features secure, covered bays that protect vehicles from extreme weather conditions throughout the year. Headroom clearance within the parking deck is strictly limited to 6 feet 4 inches (6'4"), making it well-suited for standard sedans, luxury passenger cars, crossovers, and standard-profile midsize SUVs. However, full-size lifted pickup trucks, high-roof cargo vans, and vehicles with rooftop luggage racks or elevated bike carriers exceed this threshold and cannot be accommodated.

Nestled between L Street NW and M Street NW, this garage positions drivers in the immediate vicinity of prominent DC commercial, cultural, and historic landmarks. The facility is ideal for avoiding congested curbside parking while visiting surrounding destinations:

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
Navigating to the garage is straightforward, although motorists should note the specific alley configuration. The garage entrance is situated directly behind the 1133 19th Street NW building. Drivers can enter the mid-block service alley from either 19th Street NW (one-way southbound) or 18th Street NW (one-way northbound); look for building signage and directional markers (including a prominent Verizon entryway sign) pointing into the ramp. For highway drivers, easy east-west routing is provided via K Street NW (US-29), connecting westward toward the Whitehurst Freeway, I-66, and Key Bridge, or eastward toward New York Avenue (US-50). Public transit connectivity is extraordinary, with the Farragut North Metro Station (Red Line) and Farragut West Metro Station (Blue, Orange, and Silver Lines) both within a brief 5-to-7 minute walk, facilitating effortless park-and-ride transitions across the Capital region.

Visitor & Driver Tips
Because the garage closes on weekday evenings at 8:00 PM and remains closed throughout the weekend, overnight and late-night parkers should make alternate arrangements to avoid after-hours retrieval complications. When approaching, stay alert to DC's one-way grid—remember that 19th Street NW carries one-way traffic heading south, so plan your approach from Dupont Circle or M Street NW. Pre-booking via online mobile parking apps is strongly encouraged to lock in discounted daily commuter rates and ensure a guaranteed space during peak Tuesday-through-Thursday morning commute hours.
