Necco Street Garage

$ 5 parking !!! Say what? Looks like organized, safe parking lot close to Seaport that is only five bucks if you take your vehicle out before midnight on the weekends!

$ 5 flat to park all day Saturday or Sunday? Can’t beat it. Though a bit out of the way in Fort Point, it’s still very much walkable distance to the restaurant and bars off Seaport Blvd as well as Lawn on D. Area is fine but can be a bit quiet so I’d recommend walking with others.
CARD ONLY, HOLD THE CASH.

This area of Boston has come a long way. There used to be no reason to be here, but with more businesses along the Southern section of Boston, this parking garage is a godsend. It’s like a secret garage you can park at with a short walk into Boston. It’s maybe a 10 minute walk to South Station.

I had to be in Boston for business for a day, and I parked here. It was expensive — like $ 21 a day, but for Boston, it’s ok.

It’s a nice little garage. There’s only one machine to submit payment — it’s a card reader by the office on the first floor. It’s easy to miss (I walked right by it while looking for it.)

But it’s a good garage to have in town!

Wow, what a major difference from the NYC based parking garages that I’m used to. I actually walked out of here not feeling ripped off and that’s an absolute first at a parking garage.
We were visiting friends and the best part is the entrance to this garage was literally a few feet away from the rear exit of their building. How perfect is that? Too perfect. It’s enclosed, there’s camera’s and an attendant on duty during business hours. If felt very safe to park here and there were plenty of spaces eventhough it was the weekend. I parked here all day Saturday and all day Sunday and my total was $ 10.
Since the spaces on the street are reserved for Boston residents with parking passes, parking on the street was not an option. This lot was basically a life saver, affordable and super convenient. It snowed outside and when I picked up my car I didn’t have to deal with the hassle of having to clean the snow off my car.
They take credit card only and you have to pay at a self pay machine. Insert your credit car with the stripe up and to the right the same was as the swipe on your parking ticket is. It took us a few tries before we figured it out.
FYI the nearby restaurant’s do validate however it’s only valid on the weekdays because for $ 5 all day parking if they gave you the $ 5 discount parking would basically be free and they have to make money somehow.

I couldn’t believe it, but there’s actually an enclosed garage in the Seaport side of the water from Downtown Boston where you can park on a Saturday or a Sunday for an affordable flat rate of $ 5!
The first couple of floors are marked reserved, so park on the 3^rd floor or higher.
Lose your ticket and you pay the daily max of $ 21. We didn’t lose our ticket. Rather we paid with a credit card at the gate upon our exit.
When returning after dinner the door we exited through was locked so we walked in through the auto entrance/​exit. Looks like the afterhours pedestrian entrance is located on Necco Court, on the opposite side of the building.

*** ³⁄₂₀₁₅ update ***
Good news! They had a board set up outside advertising a Sleep Over Rate of $ 10 if you’re in after 4pm and out before 9am which takes care of those driving in to dine in the area on evenings.
Even better news for those dining at Bastille Kitchen — they validate for parking at Necco Street Garage! This discounts the evening Sleep Over Rate from $ 10 down to $ 5! This beat out the nearby outdoor lot by $ 3, AND besides, they were full when we were looking for parking.
