Scoop,
Why the driveway and not the ally? Is that proven to add value or just your personal preferance? I'm wondering because I know several people like myself who prefer the alley because we hate looking at garages and we have more "usable" yard that is not in the front of the house under concrete. Also, driving gymnastics are not required to use a 3 car garage. We also love the added space between us and rear neighbors that the alley provides. We would all be willing to pay more for that. I'm sure not everyone feels the same. And that is why I ask.
