We’re considering upgrading a bit mainly for a larger 2 car garage as we have the 1.5 now. The 2.5 would be ideal but it is a little over our price range while we keep our place up north. I realize that there are some differences in the sizes of the 2 car garages so we are looking at the larger ones, oversize if possible. We have a Subaru Outback and a Jeep Wrangler 2 door. The Subaru is used mainly for driving down from RI (damn dog) so the cart golf would be behind the Subaru. We will be doing all of our measurements before we commit but I was just wondering if others are doing this and how it is working out.

We are always looking at garage sizes on the different houses. I believe one of the largest standard 2 car garage is in the Citrus model. It is a pretty reasonably priced house for a designer.

I did a search on the Citrus and that is a large garage. Thanks for the info.

We can't do it because ours is stuffed with tools but I have seen it done with the golf cart parked sideways in back.

Bruce, I own an Iris in Fenney and have a 2 car plus golf cart garage that I extended out 15 feet. I can easily fit our 3 cars plus two bikes plus all my tools and a workbench in the garage.

No interest in a golf cart at this point.

When considering a home here, remember our garage is also our basement. Everyone has things we need to store other than cars. We have hobbies and holidays.

In my opinion, the trend is that most people want a 2 car garage and a golf cart garage. Buying a house with only a 2 car garage will seriously affect the ability to resell the house. Also, you may be able to cram a golf cart into a 2 car garage, but it won't be very functional.

I would save for a model with a two car plus golf cart...you won't regret it

I have a rental home with an oversized garage. Over size in depth and a couple feet in width.

I have had my extended cab Tundra, a car and two golf carts in that garage. The one behind the Tundra was sideways. But they all fit and you could still walk through it.

My golf cart is parked sideways in the back. It works for us because we only use it for golf. I have to take the car out every time we need the cart.

EDIT: SORRY! I misread your OP. I thought you already had a 1 1/2 and wanted to enlarge it. Now I realize you are looking to replace the home not just expand the garage so my post is really not relevant.


We are in the final construction phase of enlarging our garage from 1 1/2 to 2 car. About 75% done. Putting 2 carts + car in it would be very difficult due to the fact the way the A/C system is in the back of 1 side of the garage. If the A/C wasn't there it could be don one behind the other. I REALLY had preferred a golf cart garage but due to the property setbacks there was no room to do that. It would have been a lot cheaper for sure.

Here are some photos of the process: Dropbox - Garage - Simplify your life

Just to add ..... get LOTS of bids. Had over $10,000 variation in bids over 4 contractors.

The size of the second car has to be taken into consideration.

[patfla06]

We have an extended 2 car (4’ extra on the right side) garage.
We fit 2 Lexus SUVs and 2 golf carts.
The only problem is you have to move the car to get the cart out.

The only reason we bought our house was it was the model we wanted and has a beautiful lake view.

OMG!!! That was a lot of work for 3 feet looking at the pix. Excellent lesson for folks. Buy a big garage in the first place!

Gracie, when we purchased we chose a 4 bedroom model with a stretched garage and one of the bedrooms is considered our basement LOL. Our garage is full and at this point I wish we had an 8 car garage but that ain't gonna happen. Back to OP, there are lots of people down here parking golf cars sideways behind a smaller car in 2 car garages.
