I am not sure what is considered a standard depth (inside dimensions) but it appears to be in the range of 19 ft. plus a few inches. I have measured many. It is difficult because a lot of the home descriptions list "expanded garage" but I have yet to see one that actually measures larger.

Crazy thing is the little ranch type house we are renting has a 21 ft. deep garage (inside dimensions). This is really strange since this little house is very small and nothing special as far as upgrades.

We have seen many beautiful houses that would be very good candidates if they just had a larger garage. We are beginning to wonder if moving to TV is not in the cards for us. Very frustrating so far.

Are you looking at just new builds? We have friends who bought a New Lantana with a larger garage a few years ago on a lot that they could expand the garage and they did. They now have room for five cars and even have a car lift.

Many resales have expanded garages. Good luck. Our garages are our basements too.
