Two-car garages are the most popular option in new homes nationwide, according to an analysis by the National Association of Home Builders of 2016 new-home construction data.<\/p>\n

Of all the single-family homes completed last year, 63 percent of the homes featured a two-car garage, while 22 percent had a garage suitable for three or more cars. Only 6 percent of new homes were built with a one-car garage and just 1 percent had a carport. Eight percent of homes had\u00a0<\/span>neither a garage nor a carport.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Some regions of the U.S. show more preference for more garage space than others. For example, the West North Central division\u2014which includes states like Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, and Nebraska\u2014saw garages large enough for three or more cars in 50 percent of all new homes in the area in 2016.<\/p>\n

The South Atlantic division\u2014which includes the Carolinas, Florida, and Georgia\u2014has the highest share of two-car garages at nearly 72 percent of its new homes.<\/p>\n

The highest share of one-car garages was in the Middle Atlantic, which includes Pennsylvania and New York. In the New England area, \u201cother\u201d comprised the largest share of new homes, which includes carports, off-street parking, or other parking facilities.<\/p>\n
