If you're considering office space on K Street—or planning your first visit to OSI Offices—knowing what surrounds you matters. Questions about Farragut Square restaurants, parking, and Metro access are among the most common we hear from new and prospective clients. This guide gives you the lay of the land around 1629 K Street NW, right in the heart of Washington DC's Central Business District.

Whether you're commuting in from Maryland or Virginia, hosting a client lunch, or simply trying to find the closest parking garage, the Farragut Square neighborhood has you covered—and OSI Offices has been part of it since 1981.

Getting Here: Metro Access Around Farragut Square

OSI Offices sits one block from the White House and just steps from two Metro stations, making it one of the most transit-accessible business addresses in the city.

Farragut North (Red Line)

The closest station to OSI, Farragut North is located at K Street and Connecticut Avenue NW. Exit on the K Street side and you're a 2-minute walk from our front door. The Red Line connects directly to Dupont Circle, Cleveland Park, Bethesda, and Shady Grove to the north—and to Gallery Place-Chinatown, Union Station, and the NoMa-Gallaudet corridor to the east.

Farragut West (Blue/Orange/Silver Lines)

Farragut West is located at 18th Street and I Street NW, about a 5-minute walk from OSI. It connects to Rosslyn and Arlington to the west, and to Federal Triangle, L'Enfant Plaza, and Reagan National Airport along the Blue and Silver lines to the east.

With both stations within easy walking distance, OSI clients arriving from Virginia, Maryland, or anywhere along the Metro system have direct, reliable access. No car required—and for many of our clients, that's a significant factor in choosing a K Street address over more remote office parks.

Parking Near 1629 K Street NW

If you're driving in, downtown DC parking requires a bit of planning. But there are solid options within walking distance of OSI, and apps have made finding and reserving a spot considerably easier than it used to be.

Nearby Parking Garages

Several commercial parking garages operate along K Street, 17th Street, and L Street NW. Apps like SpotHero and ParkWhiz let you compare rates and reserve a spot in advance—often at a meaningful discount versus drive-up pricing. Garages on 17th Street NW and in the I Street corridor are typically a 3–5 minute walk from OSI's entrance.

Street parking is metered on K Street and surrounding blocks, generally with 2-hour limits on weekdays. DC's ParkDC app (available through DDOT) shows current meter availability and rates in real time, which can save you a frustrating loop around the block.

Tips for Regular Commuters

For OSI clients who drive regularly, monthly parking arrangements at nearby garages often make economic and logistical sense. If you're evaluating plans and commute by car, ask our team—we're familiar with the nearby options and can point you toward the most reliable spots at reasonable rates.

The K Street stretch between 15th and 19th Streets is dense with options well-suited to a 30-minute break between meetings.

Sit-Down Dining for Client Meetings
