Optimal position for an orbital dockyard

It is a known concept that if ships were to be constructed in space, it would save a lot of fuel and allow for larger ships. My question is, what would be the best location for an orbital "dockyard" for lack of a better word. I am looking for an answer such as x distance from earth's surface orbiting over (city, country, area, etc.) or coordinates and although it is not nessesary I would be interested in knowing a feasible method for transport to the dockyard other than rockets launched from earth's surface. The technological capability used is just slightly more advanced than ours. What must be contained within the facility is as follows

1. Crew quarters for short stays
2. Storage for materials, food/water, fuel, and tools
3. Long extensions capable of holding a large ship
