My house is a 2007 designer cypress the tank is on a wooden box at the back of the garage in plain sight.
State select gas water heater with a expansion tank on the top

lot's of good advice in this thread.
You might want to consider direct vent wh
also
for all gas water heater owners, once in a while run a lit match around the diverter above the wh while it's running. If it blows out you have carbon monoxide spillage. It's odorless.
Call your plumber if this occurs.
If this occurred say in ny the wh would be tagged off and isolated from the gas piping system.
