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.

A visit to the right person at the Villages sales office may put you looking in the right direction.

You say you must have a 21 foot deep garage. The sales office should be able to tell you what models have a 21 foot deep garage. So you will know what model or models you want.

You may be unusual. The sales "agents," know from experience that often people say they want .... but then buy something else so you end up being shown homes that are not what you think you must have.

The VILLAGES, perhaps, living in the villages is not important to you. From what I see or think I see few of the homes are on enough land so that you could perhaps add a custom garage.
Perhaps, you should explore a newly built home in Finney?
