Side Entry Garages - Pros and Cons
Should I Choose a Side Entry Garage for my Raleigh New Home?
Thinking about a new home? One of the many details you may have considered is the type of garage your new home should have.
Side entry garages are very common in custom homes in the Raleigh area, while front entry garages are more often found in production homes built on smaller lots. But neither type of garage is exclusive to either group of homes.
Here are a few of the pros and cons for each type of garage.
Side Entry Garage Floor Plan Pros:
- Attractive front exterior with a more "polished" feel
- Certain custom home neighborhoods may require side entry garages to maintain a cohesive, private feel
- More natural light with additional windows on the front exterior
- More flexibility in the style and finish of the front of the home

Side Entry Garage Floor Plan Cons:
- More driveway is required (which adds cost and takes up space)
- More windows can add cost to the home
- A side-entrance driveway may not fit on a smaller lot

Front and side entry garages can both vary in size and layout. It's more common to see a "bump out" or "bay extension" on a side entry garage, which can add a nice little storage or workbench nook in the garage.
