About this Location

Facility Overview

Pike & Rose Parking at 963 Rose Avenue serves as a core transit and destination hub for the award-winning Pike & Rose neighborhood in North Bethesda, Maryland. Operating as a state-of-the-art, multi-level covered parking garage, the facility integrates seamlessly with the surrounding mixed-use architectural district featuring luxury apartments, offices, retail boutiques, and entertainment destinations. The garage features wide driving aisles, intuitive lane striping, directional wayfinding signage, and modern vertical circulation cores with high-speed elevators and well-lit stairwells. Built to accommodate standard passenger cars, minivans, crossovers, and full-size SUVs, the garage operates with standard vertical clearance limits (typically 6 feet 8 inches to 7 feet across decks). Drivers operating high-roof commercial transport vans, lifted off-road trucks, or vehicles mounted with tall rooftop cargo carriers or bicycles should verify height measurements at garage portal markers or utilize adjacent open-air surface parking options in the district.
