One of my neighbors added a loft in the garage (in addition to the attic space) and that works well as long as you don't have a tall vehicle. Honestly, though, most of that is because they decorate outside for every holiday with lights, flags, blow-up leprechauns and whatnot.
I'm another one who moved here with what I could fit in my car -- mostly clothing, electronics, and very basic kitchenware and linens. My documents and photos were whittled down to one file box.
I still brought too many clothes. There's plenty of room for them in my closet, but I really only wear about 15 things.
Once you're settled in, I agree about keeping a balance -- bring one new thing in and get rid of something else.
