I am looking at houses for sale in The Woodlands and zoned to McCullough middle school. Many have "oversized garage" but dimensions are not given as to how much bigger the garage is compared to a typical 2-car garage.

Hello Shelly. We get this question a lot. A typical 2 car garage (attached or detached) is about 22' to 24' deep. Width can very but bet on a minimum 10' for each car station. Where the "over sized" part comes in is in regards to an extension of that 22' to 24' dimension. Some builders will add a 5' or 10' extension to the garage on the back side. Maybe a 3' side area on a detached garage where the walk in door is located. Just a little extra area that the Realtor wanted to identify when mentioning "over sized". Also, a tandem garage is typically a garage where there is space for 2 cars end to end. We see this in many 3 car garages attached to the home. Let us know if we can help you find that perfect home for your shiny car! Mark McNitt, Bernstein Realty. 832-567-4357

May also mean the length is longer the standard 20" ft, most extended cab trucks will not fit in a normal size and need the extra 2-6 ft.

Oversized normally means it has storage space or space for a motorcycle.
If you have any further questions please contact me via email, phone, or text.

In my experience, a typical two car garage is around 20' by 20'. An oversized garage does not have a set definition. It usually consists of a additional space to the side or to the rear, that is smaller than what you could fit an additional car in to. I hope that helps.
