Two things important to us. No open land behind us because it could become a big box store.
Buy the biggest garage in your budget.

OP you aren’t saying if this is a bigger or smaller garage. If it’s smaller take a pause to see what you need to eliminate. We bypassed many homes that we really loved the view and the house, because of a smaller garage than we had.

Plenty of houses out there keep looking

You will eventually regret not getting a home with a golf cart garage. Upon resale, that is a huge negative for potential buyers. If you are skepticle, look to see how much longer a home without a golf cart garage is on the market compared to those that have one.

One potential purchase (moving houses) has a garage of 19'-4" X 20'-0"
Second potential purchase has a garage of 19'-8" X 24'-0"

I have a car, it’s 180” long and we double stack the carts right next to it and have room for shelves along one wall.

I can tell you that if you buy a house without a golf cart garage , you will regret it eventually if not sooner than that .

We are on our third home and our first move to the second was precisely that issue ….

You have the ability to do it right the first time…..

Thank you for all the insightful responses. I appreciate all the carefully considered input. Also glad no one without practical experience chimed in to tell me to sell the gas carts and go with electric.

CarlR33, the car cannot stay on the driveway because it would be there unmoved from May until December every year. Not only unprotected and uncovered, but a neighbor eyesore if not a ARC violation.

I would love to see how Janie123 and WesternRider75's neighbor accomplishes the task. I understand that a golf-cart garage in addition to a 2-car would be heavenly. In fact, when the number of bedrooms in a house is an important real estate metric, I would give up bedrooms for more garage space. Truthfully, I would take house that had a single primary suite, a kitchen and living room and then all the rest was garage but Mrs. EDJ would certainly not approve.

For what it's worth, each of these golf carts is bigger than the standard 2-person cart. One is a 2+2 Yamaha Adventurer with the 2 rear-facing seats and the other is an Atomic Kool Cart (yeah- I know, don't get me started. I'm not a fan. However, Mrs. EDJ wants her A/C and Mrs. EDJ more often than not gets what she wants. Hence two separate carts, I will not be caught dead in one if I can avoid it, just like I will never push a pet in a pet-stroller. A man has to have his lines in the sand or he is no man at all).

I've never seen a patio villa (Moonstone or Emerald) wherein someone has taken the front lanai, put in a couple of French-style screened doors on the side so that a cart could be stored (and covered) during absences. It's an idea though.

First I’d go with the larger garage as per house #2. Car parked to one side with one golf cart parked sideways in front of car. Second golf cart along side of car.

I have a 1&1/2 car garage villa and I fit a Chrysler Prowler to one side, golf cart parked sideways in front of the Prowler and a Kia Soul parked along side of the Prowler. Tight but works.

Easy solution. Sell one of the golf cars as having 2 seems like a luxury and problem solved, bro.

How big us your car?

[DrMack]

Mathematically the vehicles would fit, but then there are the other variables. Will you add a water softener? Do you need extra space for storage? How big is your trash can? Does your water heater or home filter system take up any of that footprint? What kind of maneuvering will you be doing for parking when it’s pouring outside?

Depreciating asset:
So are golf carts.

I agree. Although I recently saw an ad on this website for a 25 year old golf cart that was priced at $2,500. Did a golf cart cost more than $2,500 in 2000?

Like every other issue you will get OPINIONS. OLD SCHOOL. Use graph paper. Size of garage.
Cut outs for car and golf carts. REMINDER-you need room to open doors. Storage is limited.
No one has a basement as it would be an indoor swimming pool. Wow I miss my basement.

Different strokes for different folks. Two golf cart family? Never felt a need for two golf carts.

In a fit, but he won't have any room to put a shelf, workbench or much of anything.
I just bought a new Palisades and fit at my garage, but I have about 3-4 feet of space on either side.
I have shelves on the back wall and the side wall, where the Golf Cart garage is is a workbench and next that is a toolbox and a swamp cooler. The other side has a cabinet for tools, a freezer and my workout bench.

I think your problem is lessened with you being gone for 8 months. However you can get it to fit is all that matters because you won't be walking around. For the 4 months you are there, you could utilize the driveway itself to free up moving around space in the garage.

If they are true two car garage space should fit. But would leave less room for tools, bench, and what ever else you have to put in garage. CYVs are advertised as 1 1/2 and 2 car garage, but the design has normal stuff inside house in garage making them verily one car or 1 1/2 half car garage. So you really have to look at space in garages in villages see if will fit your needs.

Our 2 car garage CYV will fit our car and a two seat Yamaha and a four forward and two rear facing 6 seater and that's with 2' storage cabinets on the back wall. The 6 seater is only there when we have family visiting and it leaves just enough space to squeeze by to cross the garage.
