About this Location

Facility Overview

The parking garage at 8-10 Museum Way is a secure, multi-level structured parking facility serving the Museum Towers condominium complex and the surrounding North Point/East Cambridge community. Situated directly along the Cambridge-Boston boundary adjacent to the Charles River Dam, this facility provides a clean, well-lit, and sheltered parking environment protected from severe New England weather. The structure accommodates standard passenger cars, compact vehicles, crossover models, and standard-sized SUVs. Due to overhead clearance restrictions typical of multi-deck residential and mixed-use garages (standard vertical clearance of approximately 6 feet 8 inches), high-roof cargo vans, oversized commercial utility trucks, and vehicles equipped with high-clearance roof boxes should exercise caution and verify entry clearance markers prior to entering.
