Once you take 1 foot off for the walls, interior I have 506 sq feet and a 20x22 would have 399 sq feet. That 25% extra allows me to park a truck (as well as a car), have room for tools and storage.

A lot of lots in new communities are not large enough for a garage that size. Just make sure you get one that is if you are planning on the large garage. I know my garage spans the entire width of my property and is only the "standard" 20 x 22.
