The BIGGEST garage we could get was 26' deep. No way no how could we get one bigger. He was 100% positive "I've been selling houses in the Villages for 10 years and that is it, nothing bigger". We were walking around our neighborhood yesterday and saw a garage door open in a house being built. The garage was 28' deep. We looked at the blueprints, and it was a Lantana.
Sometimes the size of the lot dictates too how big a garage can be. AND one week they will do something and next week it will change. We wanted a bigger garage on our house and they weren't doing that kind of customization just 20 months ago. After we signed, the next week, our neighbors were able to add things not available to us, including the very customization we wanted and we had the room.

We had Jim McLaughlin and sometimes he didn't know everything, but I will always bet my best putter he was and is an honest person..
