Why Car Condos Are Taking Off

Car condos aren’t just storage—they’re lifestyle. Across the country, enthusiasts are trading basic garages for flex spaces: part showroom, part hangout, part office, part man cave. Some are simple, others rival luxury homes with mezzanines, wet bars, theater systems, and even bedrooms.

But it’s not just about the space; it’s about community. These facilities bring together like-minded enthusiasts who value cars, design, and connection. That’s why car condos are popping up nationwide—from Florida to Minnesota, Colorado to California.

Below is a roundup of the most buzzed-about states in the car condo world right now. And that’s just scratching the surface. If you see your area—or even if you don’t—chances are there’s a car condo community already in your area or one soon coming your way.

So You’ve Got a Car Condo… Now What?

At first, a car condo might feel like a flashy warehouse. But to unlock its full potential, you need to ask:

How will you use the space? (Showroom, office, lounge, garage?)
What level of infrastructure? (Basic lighting vs. smart systems, sound, security?)
Can your HOA or facility bylaws accommodate bars, lofts, or baths?
Will your design flow, or feel cobbled together?

The Problem with Standard Contractors & Designers

Many contractors view car condos as blank warehouses—leading to mismatched finishes, poor flow, and uninspired design.
Many designers are talented, but most don’t specialize in garages. That means missed opportunities: the best materials, durable finishes, or functional details that give your space true wow factor.

That’s where having both design and build expertise comes in.
