Should My New Custom Built Home Have A Circular Driveway?

Should My New Custom Built Home Have A Circular Driveway?

Absolutely! Sometimes it’s not possible depending upon the size of your lot and foot print of your home but I highly recommend it.

Perhaps, one of the more annoying issues is with visitors that park in front of your garage doors  or block your car in the driveway. You are on your way to an important meeting, time is tight and you find your car is blocked in by a guest or one of your kids. Of course, you don’t figure all this out before you are in your car backing out of the garage. Grr…..

A circular driveway positioned between your home and the street is the ideal solution. It gives guests and teenagers a place to park other than behind your car. 

Of course, HOA rules don’t help the parking situation either. Many ban street parking in upscale, subdivision communities. In my case, street parking wasn’t prohibited until 10 years after our home was built. It was somebody’s bright idea on the HOA Board. Fortunately, I constructed a circular driveway when we built our home.

Orlando is all about the Florida Lifestyle, boating, jet skis, golf, tennis and lots of outdoor activities. After all, that’s why we all move here! Golf carts, boats, trailers and more, all need  storage space. The extra parking in a circular drive really comes in handy.
