Another consideration is the size of the garage. My garage backing onto my back lane is 23x24. Many of my neighbours have similar sized garages or even bigger. However I have only ever seen one attached garage that big; most are 20x20 or maybe 20x22. May sound like a minor difference, but the interior square footage difference is huge. 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.
