We had our garage expanded 4 feet deeper when we built. We have room for 2 cars...and then park our golf carts behind the cars. It was a no brainer. At the time they wanted about $4500 for the cart addition plus we would have had to get a premium lot which was 5 feet wider. Again...we stretched the garage deeper..and it cost $1500...and we have room for both our carts and actually got a better roof line out of the deal.

“bigger”

Think of an expanded garage as a garage and a half. You can fit a golf cart and a car but it’s a tight squeeze. If you have a big SUV most people leave them in the driveway

Probably about 6 ft longer

Thanks to all for the variety of answers. This one is the winner.

We have a one car garage but very wide driveway. May have enough room for golf cart garage addition. Anyone do this! Cost? Recommendations for contractors. Do not want my first nightmare. Thanks

In VA our 2 car garages have room to open the doors on all 4 sides of the car. Plus plenty of room for storage.

There can be a big difference. We custom ordered our house in Virginia trace. It is a two-car plus cart garage all made four feet deeper. Widened the driveway as well.

When we bought our TV the salesman said no one ever thinks they want a smaller one-go up one size from what you think you want.
We all have limited storage. I miss our former basement but here it would be an unwanted
indoor swimming pool. We have a two car garage and a golf cart garage. All labeled.
The reality. We have storage shelves in the garage. The two car garage has our car and our golf cart and my shop is in the golf cart garage. I've seen others doing the same thing.
The balance is VALUE. The cost of what you want as well as need vs want.

The place to start is to contact the Villages office. With your address they can tell you if your lot is big enough to put up a golf cart garage. You do not want to hire some ??????
have them build a garage for you and then find you are in violation of a neighbors rights
and you will be forced to remove it.

Driveway is plenty wide to accommodate a golf cart garage. what would something like that cost and can anyone recommend someone to do the construction? I’m wondering if it’s worth the cost, the hassle and anticipated issues when doing construction.

Before you go too far down the road of getting quotes etc., Touch base with Community Standards. They can give you valuable advice and save you a LOT of hassle down the road.
