The garage is like a sauna here in my concrete courtyard villa. The temperature during the day was at 99 degrees this week in the garage. I would not spend a dime to try to make this garage cooler. If you touch the concrete walls, you can feel the heat. I owned 2 concrete block houses before in Florida and the garage was never this hot. The garage walls where insulated and the attic above was insulated. The Villages is just trying to make more profit when they build this way.
