[quote=UCGal]My house in PA had the garage at the back of the lot – driveway to the front. It’s one of the reasons I could confidently say this was not a *new* trend. That house and community was developed around 1900. I don’t think any of the houses in that area had garages in the front.
The area of your former PA house is very beautiful, UCGal! It reminds me of areas in Denver, CO, and, to a lesser extent (less so much foilage), a couple of streets here in Chula Vista.
