Facility Overview
The Yards - Lot H/I is a prime surface-level parking facility located at 100 N St SE, situated in the vibrant Capitol Riverfront district of Washington, DC. As an open-air lot, it offers an uncomplicated, drive-up parking experience that is highly sought after in this dense urban environment. Because it is a surface lot, it provides excellent vertical clearance, making it highly suitable for standard passenger vehicles, full-size SUVs, and pickup trucks. Please note that while there are no height restrictions typical of parking garages, vehicles exceeding two standard parking spaces in length may find maneuvering difficult during peak capacity.
