Note
If you are renting a space, be sure Eclipse management has a record of your car make, model, color, license plate number, and state. Also include the parking space number and your name and unit number. Advise Management and the Concierge. Get confirmation and save a copy.

Other options

Retail parking on P1 (but not Harris Teeter) has been free (no towing) to Eclipse residents from 7pm to 7am weekdays and 7pm Friday until 7am Monday.
The above was last verified in November 2021 with the company managing our commercial areas and is likely still (2023) in effect, despite the photo below detailing their general policy. No guarantees, but no problems have been noted.

Parking space rentals might be offered on the Eclipse Building Link website.

Pay-parking is available on Potomac Avenue north of Glebe. Check the time limits, which vary. The east side of Potomac has had a 12-hour limit.

$elling an Eclipse Condo?

Let 10,000 Realtors know
that you really DO have a garage!

Update — May 2022: Our MLS system has just fixed the problem below.

Update — April 2021: The MLS computer weenies are at it again: Despite the best efforts of listing agents, agents searching for a condo with a garage for their buyers might not find your listing in their results. This can be a major problem even if your garage was "entered" into the MLS and might appear elsewhere in some MLS reports or third-party websites. Only a Realtor can check this by doing a MLS search; you cannot check it online! More info.

Update — 2019: The Realtors MLS system has greatly improved the process for entering a garage. The 2017 process was so tricky that most of our condos did NOT show a garage. Many agents who thought they had entered a garage properly, had not. Consequently, anyone searching for a condo with a garage would not even find such a listing. With the new MLS process it is almost impossible to mess up.

Original post — July 2017: Entering a garage into the MLS is so tricky that up to 85% of our condos for sale with an existing garage, do not have it entered correctly. Someone searching for a condo with a garage (a must-have item for many) will not even see your listing in their search results. This can be a major problem even if your garage was "entered" into the MLS and might appear elsewhere in some MLS reports or third-party websites. More info.

A BIG advantage: Parking space flexibility

If you are selling your unit and have two parking spaces it could be to your advantage to offer only one. This could be especially important in negotiating with a buyer who does not want to pay your full asking price. In this event, I would buy your second space, and you could reduce your price accordingly.
