About this Location

Facility Overview

Situated at the intersection of N Benton Avenue and N Dixon Street in Portland\'s vibrant Rose Quarter district, the Parking NW - U-Store Rose Quarter Lot offers an accessible, open-air surface parking option for commuters, visitors, and event attendees. Because this is an open-air surface lot, it provides open vertical clearance without low ceilings or parking garage overhead beams, making it well-suited for standard passenger sedans, crossovers, full-size pickup trucks, and high-roof SUVs. Drivers appreciate the straightforward ground-level layout, which eliminates the hassle of navigating tight multi-story spiral ramps or crowded subterranean parking decks.

Arriving 45 to 60 minutes ahead of scheduled event start times is strongly recommended to secure your space and enjoy an unhurried walk to the venue. Be sure to pay attention to on-site rate boards, as event rates may apply on scheduled show days.
