In CYV's the 1-1/2 car garage does vary from model to model. Some have the washer/dryer in the garage in the back, like ours, or up by the garage door, or not at all. Also the A/C units are located differently. In our case, we have a Durham, 2BR 2BA with 10' Kitchen Bar and W/D in back of garage, we also have a Subaru Crosstrek. I have just enough room to park both. The golf cart is tight to the laundry tub but just enough room to use the tub if needed. I just bought the Crosstrek, which is 71" wide. I was really wanting a 2017 Camaro but they are 75" wide and it would of been too tight or the possibility of scratching the car wasn't worth it. So I went with the Subaru. Our place looks like this, which is probably similar to Phillips Villas. Although we got permission last year to be able to repaint our homes a different color, we have 20 choices. So far about 30 of the 80 villas have changed colors and I'm thinking of painting ours dark green with beige trim. The answer to your question is 'No' the garage is not big enough.

PS - You're probably thinking, that landscaping looks different. We had grass and bushes, but many of us like to add palm trees and remove the grass for one less thing to maintain. I would say maybe 25 out of 80 still have grass in front and our homes are six years old.
