About this Location

The parking facility located at 499-447 N 3rd St in Leesburg, FL, serves as a convenient open-air surface lot situated just south of the busy East North Boulevard (US-441) corridor. This lot is ideally positioned to support visitors to the surrounding professional offices, medical facilities, and commercial storefronts near downtown Leesburg.

Overview & Suitability

This is a standard, paved outdoor surface lot designed for daily use. It is highly suitable for standard passenger vehicles, including sedans, SUVs, and light trucks. Please note that this lot is not configured as an RV park or campground; there are no hookups or specialized spaces for oversized motorhomes or long-term trailer storage.

Access, Dimensions & Clearance

Because this is a completely open-air lot, there are no overhead height restrictions or clearance limits, making it accessible for taller passenger vans and utility trucks. Entry and exit points are directly off North 3rd Street, offering wide turning angles and straightforward, hassle-free navigation. The lanes are spacious enough to accommodate standard two-way traffic comfortably.

Parking Rates, Tariffs & Booking

Parking at this location is free of charge, operating on a first-come, first-served basis with no reservation or pre-booking required. However, drivers should be mindful of municipal time restrictions. Many public and street parking zones in the downtown Leesburg area are subject to a 3-hour time limit from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, Monday through Friday, which is strictly enforced by local authorities. If you plan to stay longer than three hours, utilizing the downtown parking garage is recommended.

Security & Amenities

The facility provides standard asphalt paving with clearly painted stall lines, including dedicated ADA-compliant accessible parking spaces. It relies on standard street and ambient municipal lighting for visibility during evening hours. As an unattended, self-park lot, it does not feature active gates, fencing, or on-site security personnel, so visitors are advised to lock their vehicles and secure valuables.

Strategic Alternative

Situated just moments from the intersection of US-441, this lot serves as a strategic park-and-walk alternative for those wanting to avoid downtown street congestion. It provides direct, walkable access to nearby medical clinics, local administrative offices, and the northern edge of the historic downtown district.
