It depends on how you use your garage.

We have a golf cart garage and it was on our must have list when we were looking to buy. That said, six months after we moved in, we found we weren't using one of the cars and sold it. (We took about the same amount of time picking out and buying a golf cart (gas vs. electric decision). Now we coordinate our electronic calendars to make sure that when one of has to use the car, (mostly for shopping, doctor appts. on the other side of TV and off premises), that the appt. appears on both calendars.)

We also moved a lot of our "stuff" to TV and use the garage for storage of all our boxes. Many couples that move here have wisely gotten rid of all their "stuff" before moving and have pristine garage space.

We find that most people try to park all their vehicles inside. It is also difficult to find a lot that has room to expand to add a golf cart garage after the fact, plus some of the CDDs (Community Development Districts) decline to add additional garage space and/or the concrete driveway extension for an addition to the home. In our neighborhood, one of the owners has a corner lot and has added a second golf cart garage. (It sits further to the back of the property and has been beautifully landscaped to lessen the extra concrete driveway.)

You may also be aware of the statistic that the average Villager moves three times in the course of living in The Villages. Extra garage space is one of those reasons cited for moving.

So, the best advice we can offer is...if you think you are going to use or need the extra space, put the golf cart garage on your "must have" list.
