We just built a detached heated garage on a relatively large parcel with a tiny bungalow.
The benefits of not having to scrape the car were definitely realized this morning and the small inconvenience of walking through the yard in this weather was barely a thought. Besides, unless you're driving to a parkade attached to your destination you're going to need a coat anyway, no?
I do agree though, apart from the limited architectural options that an attached garage brings, they are obviously preferred over detached options. But as pointed out they're simply not possible in many communities in Calgary. And they're small.
If an attached garage is a 10/10 upgrade, than a detached garage is still a 9.5/10 upgrade in my opinion.
