I don't live in TV yet, but when we picked our lot I specifically requested one that the garage would face the north or toward the east. Here in VA, the sun setting shines directly into our garage and makes it almost unbearably hot. For most folks that are already in TV, I realize that this is not an option, but for future buyers, this might be something to consider. Another reason I did not want a west facing garage is that when the wind blows, it usually comes from the west and any leaves and debris that can blow into our garage winds up in there.
