I don’t understand. What’s wrong with owning a Jeep?

Not so sure they would fit. When you get here bring a tape measure.

Depends on the width of the garage - there are many sizes and if its pre-owned, the prior owner might have added 2 feet to the width.
We have a 2 car and a car and 2 golf carts fit

You will need to check the dimensions of the garage. You Yamaha golf cart is 8 feet long and 45 inches wide (not including the rear view mirrors) around 4 feet 6 inches with mirrors. So you need to figure out if you will have over 16 feet in length (end to end) or over 10 feet (side by side) clearance, and the figure walking access to get in and out of the carts, and your Jeep.
Hope this helps.

We have a courtyard villa with a 2 car garage and have room for two golf carts and a Hyundai Santa Fe, washer and dryer and a work bench.

And even if you think someone owns a crappy car why would you say that on a public forum for no reason??

We have a garage with the two foot with extension on each side. Storage in the Village homes requires us to have shelf’s on one side and lawn equipment and my tool cabinet on the other. This is something you might want to add to your calculations.

Yes, I agree the person was just asking if his Jeep Cherokee and 2 golf carts would fit in a home with a 2 car garage. A simple and nice reply would really be to come down and measure because not all garages are laid out the same.
To reply with "Yes it should fit fine sorry to hear you own a jeep" was totally being disrespectful to our new neighbor.
IF YOU HAVE NOTHING NICE TO SAY STAY OFF OF TOTV.

My husband and I have a courtyard villa with 2 car garage, and it fits our Jeep Sahara Unlimited and 2 golf carts. Welcome to The Villages!

We have a small garage - car and a cart - in our villa, but we manage to park 2 carts (tandem) and an Escape.

Barely. TIGHT SQUEEZE You will REGRET not having a golf cart garage. I suggest you don’t go there or get rid of one of the cars

I never realized courtyard villas had two car garages. I thought they were all car and golf cart. Learn something new everyday!

If you look at the models with 2 garage doors instead of one wide single garage door. In the floor plan drawing it shows to be about two or three feet wider and one side is two feet deeper. That’s what we did. It works great for us with SUV on one side and two golf carts staggered on the other side. We still have room for workbench and shelving storage. Oh yeah and two bicycles. In a perfect world a three or four car garage would be great but it all adds up. Good luck.

They told me I had a stretch 2 car garage. One look and I told them that is a stretch to call that a 2 car garage.

OP only has ONE car, a Jeep Cherokee. And as Sheldon Cooper would say " Yes it should fit fine sorry to here you own a jeep, that was sarcasm wasn't it?"..

We moved here in June and our 2019 Lincoln Navigator and Mazda Miata barely fit into the double car garage. We had to unload the SUV in the driveway or back it in as the back could not be raised inside the
garage. We had to be very careful opening the doors to keep from hitting the other car or wall. We ended up getting rid of the Navigator and got a Lincoln Nautilis
Now we need to get rid of the Miata if we want a golf cart. You will definitely need a double car with golf cart garage and perhaps an extended garage. This garage is much smaller than our double garage back home. We’re sorry we didn’t get the larger one.

Good luck with that. Back north a two car garage was 24 feet wide - that was the standard. Down here, you are lucky if you get 20 feet without paying to have the garage expanded. In fact, I don't know if you can even do that anymore since you can't "design" your own home. With a Jeep Cherokee, you'll be lucky to even get a golf cart in beside it and have room to get out of the Jeep!

As others have stated a tape measure is your best friend when making the decision. A larger garage is better, think about what may be stored in the garage other that your Jeep and carts. This can affect the decision greatly. We have a 3 car expanded and it gets tight with the cabinets we added for additional storage.

A "Normal" two car garage is about 20' x 20'. Two 2 seater golf carts can easily fit.

If you are driving around looking at courtyard villas, count the number of horizontal garage door panels. 8 panels means it is a 2 car garage, 6 panels is a one and a half car garage.

Our patio villa only has room for my Mazda CX-9 and a golf cart, and that’s snug!

Yes I believe you’ll have plenty of room for all three vehicles. Just want to say “I love Jeeps and have had several in my life time.”

The garage is important for storage. Two types. Stuff you use a few times a month and stuff you infrequently use - maybe Xmass decorations. Consider ceiling storage racks and maybe shelves in your planning. Depending on your county you maybe able to have then email for free the building plans for your home. Marion County will do this.

We went for a 2 1/2 car garage with a 4' stretch to the width and 4' to the depth. When looking we definitely brought a 25' tape measure as the dimensions are sometimes wrong on the listings. Also, don't be fooled by the term 'expanded garage' in the listings, they seem to include that regardless of the size. I've seen 2 vehicles and 2 carts in a similar sized garage but it was TIGHT! I've got a Durango, same basic vehicle as the Grand Cherokee slightly stretched for a 3rd row of seats. Best vehicle I've ever owned and I've owned a bunch through the years. Welcome to the villages!

We have a two car garage with an suv and two carts. Without the laundry inside the garage, it’s a tight fit. You may have to consider a smaller suv.

We have Kia Soul, Chevy Spark and golf cart in our courtyard villa double garage. All fits fine. I purchased racks that hang from ceiling to get other stuff off the garage floor to be able to open car doors more comfortably (although this is optional). Hope this helps.
