About this Location

Facility Overview

Situated in the heart of historic downtown Annapolis, the parking facility at 180 Green St offers an exceptionally positioned open-air surface lot within footsteps of the bustling waterfront. Because this is a street-level surface facility without low-hanging ceiling decks or restrictive overhead concrete beams, it provides open vertical clearance that comfortably accommodates full-size pickup trucks, oversized SUVs, passenger vans, and vehicles with rooftop cargo carriers or bicycle racks. The layout features clearly delineated parking bays and efficient navigation aisles designed to allow straightforward maneuvering, making it an attractive and low-stress alternative to the tighter, multi-level municipal garages situated farther uptown.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

The lot boasts one of the most desirable addresses in downtown Annapolis, placing visitors directly adjacent to prime dining, historic landmarks, and nautical entertainment:

Annapolis City Dock & \'Ego Alley\': Located less than a 2-minute walk (under 400 feet) away, offering prime waterfront views, boat watching, and Susan Campbell Park.
United States Naval Academy (Gate 1): Approximately a 5- to 7-minute walk (0.3 miles), making it ideal for Commissioning Week, USNA alumni events, guided campus tours, and Navy football game shuttles.
Historic Main Street & Market Space: Just steps away, featuring iconic local dining and pubs including McGarvey\'s Saloon, Iron Rooster, Federal House Bar & Grille, and Pusser\'s Caribbean Grille.
Maryland State House & State Circle: A brief 6- to 8-minute uphill stroll (0.4 miles) through colonial brick streets to Maryland\'s seat of government and nearby legislative office buildings.
Annapolis Water Taxi: Accessible directly at Market Slip/City Dock, offering convenient scenic transfers across Spa Creek to the maritime dining district of Eastport.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

Ingress and egress are straightforward via Green Street, connecting smoothly to Compromise Street, Duke of Gloucester Street, and Main Street. Regional visitors can reach the lot conveniently from US-50/US-301 by exiting onto Rowe Boulevard (MD-70) and following signs through Church Circle toward the historic harbor district. Although historic downtown traffic can slow during festival weekends and peak summer evenings, Green Street offers multiple egress options toward Compromise Street to bypass Main Street congestion. For public transportation, the Annapolis Circulator shuttle stops nearby around Market Space and Duke of Gloucester Street, connecting riders seamlessly to uptown parking garages, Church Circle, and West Street.
