Tandem Garages Explained

People keep asking me “what’s a tandem garage”?

So, here’s a brief explanation.

A tandem garage usually means that you have one double garage door, and one or more of the stalls is deeper than usual.

I know you’ll be shocked, but this actually results in some listing agents bragging that this is a 3-car garage!

To demystify this confusion, I have provided the following illustrations:

3-Car Garage (seen through the eyes of a Buyer)

For whatever reason, most buyers seem to want the bragging rights (and convenience) of a true 3-car garage that actually has three garage doors in plain sight.

Now you know.
