About this Location

Facility Overview

President\'s Place Parking Garage is a premier multi-level covered parking structure located at 1250 Hancock Street in the heart of downtown Quincy, Massachusetts. Attached directly to the prominent President\'s Place commercial and educational complex—home to Quincy College, administrative offices, and prominent local healthcare providers—this garage offers secure, sheltered parking shielded from harsh New England winters and summer heat. The facility features wide drive aisles, clearly designated bay markings, and a multi-story layout with elevator and stairwell access connecting directly to the commercial concourse and street levels. Standard sedans, crossovers, and mid-size SUVs navigate the facility with ease; however, drivers of lifted 4x4s, full-size commercial work vans, and vehicles equipped with rooftop cargo boxes should heed the posted entrance clearance height (approximately 6 feet 8 inches).
