If you get a second golf cart, one of your vehicles will need to stay in the driveway. Which is fine, but still do-able.

If each of you has a car, and you have two golf carts, then trying to get 2 in the garage and 2 in the driveway will become a huge ongoing inconvenience.

We have a carport and a golf cart garage, but we use the garage for our lawnmower and other tools (electric trimmer, rakes and shovels, air compressor, etc.) We have an extra long double-driveway, so we can have all 4 vehicles in the driveway and still be able to take any of them out to the road without having to move another one out of the way.

One car + one golf cart = you don't have to rule out any options at all.

There are some CYV that have 2 car garage, usually the corner lots. There are also many that have grass. We have a CYV and wouldn’t want anything else even though we could afford much more. Even though our neighborhood is very friendly I love my walls.
