Four kinds

Which kind of three-car garage is it?

The words three-car garage on a listing can mean four different layouts. Pick one to see it from above and what to check.

The layoutThree bays abreast, behind two doors

What to look at

  • Two doors up front. One wide door takes two cars, and a narrow door takes the third. Many listings use this layout.
  • The narrow door. If bay three is for a wide truck, take a tape to this opening.
  • Count the doors. Either layout reads three-car on the listing, so check the photos for the real number of doors.

The layoutThree bays, three doors

What to look at

  • Its own door. Every car gets a door of its own, so nobody moves a car to leave.
  • Narrow openings. Single doors are not as wide as a double. A big truck needs a tape on all three.
  • Read the photos. Make sure the photos show three real doors, not two doors plus a window.

The layoutTwo bays across, one bay deep

What to look at

  • The long bay. A long truck, a trailer or a workbench can use the extra depth at the back.
  • The shuffle. With two cars nose to tail, one has to move before the other can leave. It works for a weekend toy, and wears thin on a car you drive daily.
  • Bring a tape. Some deep bays fit a long truck, and some fit only a small car. Measure the depth.

The layoutOne bay taller and deeper

What to look at

  • Made for the toys. The door is taller and the bay is deeper, for a trailer, a boat or a lifted truck.
  • Check the height. The door opening is the tight spot, so measure it and not only the ceiling.
  • Need more room? A camper or a motorhome asks for more. See RV parking homes.

The local read

What a three-car garage means in Virgin

In shortEvery home below has a three-car garage. The town does not ask for one, so a third bay is a choice a buyer or builder made.

At about 3,500 feet, Virgin sees July highs near 98 degrees. Parking in a garage keeps a car out of that heat. The third bay also holds the bikes for the trails just west of town, the camp gear for Zion, about 20 minutes east, and often a workbench.

The town code asks for two off-street parking spaces at each home, each 10 by 20 feet. It sets no minimum garage. No builder puts up rows of homes here, so every plan is a custom plan and every third bay was a choice.

The county's parcel records never count garage bays, so no list of plats can say which have a third one. They do show size. Homes in Rio de Sion run near 3,000 square feet in the middle, and Old Home Acres near 2,900. Desert Garden Estates runs from about 2,400 to 2,550. Older homes in Valley View run near 1,300 to 1,400. Those figures can count a finished lower level.

Here is the catch before you fall for a listing. Three-car can mean a double door and a single door. Or it may be one deep bay hiding behind a two-car door, or one oversized door. All of these list the same way, so I count the doors and check the bay sizes on every home I send you.

A third bay, or room for an RV?

Sun and your cars

What July asks of a third bay

A garage in a hot desert town does more than hold cars. Heat and sun set the rules for the third bay.

Out of the sun

July highs run near 98 degrees, and the La Verkin weather station logs about 47 days a year at 100 or more. A car parked indoors is a car you do not have to cool down.

Hardly any snow

That same station records about 1.4 inches of snow in a normal year, and most winters bring none. So the garage here is about shade and tools, not snow shovels.

A closed room bakes

A shut garage gets hotter than the air outside. Ask if the walls, the ceiling and the door are insulated, and if a vent or a fan is there.

Cooling makes it a shop

With insulation and a plan for cooling, the third bay is a shop you can use in July. Without them, you work there in the morning or in the fall.

The cost

What a third bay costs in Virgin

A third bay is more likely on a larger, newer plan, but that is a clue, not a rule. Some big homes have two bays and some smaller ones have three. Each custom home is priced on its own lot, size and finish.

The Census puts the typical Virgin home near $585,900. Owners give that figure in the Census survey, so it is a self-reported value and not a sale price. Few homes list at a time, so price any one of them against recent sales of homes like it. For real prices, look at the live listings above.

Adding a bay

Thinking of adding a third bay later?

Maybe you like a two-car home and want a bay added after closing. That means plans, permits and a contractor, so start with these four.

The lot and the zone

Most Virgin homes sit in the Rural Residential zone, on lots of an acre or more. There, a garage built apart from the house goes through the town's conditional use review. It may stand no taller than the house and never over 20 feet, and it must sit 10 feet from the side and rear lines.

The size cap

The house zones cap living area at 4,800 square feet, or 15 percent of the lot if that is more. The code does not say whether a garage counts toward it, so ask the town before you plan a big addition.

The permit asks for a lot

The town's 2026 checklist asks for an engineer-stamped site plan, a soils report, a lighting plan and a fire review. Outdoor lights must point down. Homes in Rio de Sion, Zions Edge and Observation Estates also need fire sprinklers.

Buy it or build it

It is often simpler to buy the third bay than to build it. If you love a two-car home, call the town office, and ask me for help. Ask early for any CC&Rs the plat recorded on garages and outbuildings.

How I help

How I find you the right three-car garage

On the MLS, three-car can mean several things. My way of sorting them follows.

  1. Say what bay three is for

    A third car, a long truck, the bikes or a workbench? Your answer picks the layout.

  2. I read doors and depth

    On each home in your budget, I read the photos and check the door count and the bay sizes.

  3. You get a short list

    A few homes that suit you, plus my notes on their doors, depths and cooling.

  4. We bring a tape

    At the showing, the tape comes out before any offer is written.

Where to look

Where the bigger plans actually are

County records show size, not bays, so I go by size and age. The larger, newer plans sit south of the river and near the old town. The older plats run smaller.

West end, by Sheep Bridge Road

Desert Garden Estates

About 60 lots of an acre, in three phases recorded from 1998 to 2005. County records show homes built from 2000 to 2023 with a middle size between about 2,400 and 2,550 square feet, by phase.

West of Mill Street

Old Home Acres

Nine homes built from 2022 to 2024, just west of Mill Street and north of the highway. Its homes run near 2,900 square feet in the middle.

South of the river

Rio de Sion

The largest plat in town. Its three phases show a middle size near 3,000 square feet, and phases two and three, 31 homes, went up from 2022 to 2026. New homes here need fire sprinklers.

Next to Rio de Sion, just east of Mill Street

Zions Edge and Pala Zion

The newest plats. Zions Edge has 10 lots of about an acre, and its two homes run near 3,800 square feet. Pala Zion was recorded in March 2026 with 22 lots, and the county shows no homes on them yet.

Park it

Fill the third bay

Two cars use the wide door. Bay three is where the home starts to work for you. Choose a use for it. The drawing shows the parking and the numbers to take.

Door to the houseDouble doorSingle door240VWidthDepth
This sample garage is drawn from above. Lengths here are rough guides. For the true length, read the spec sheet of your own vehicle.

A third car

General lengthAbout 15 to 16 feet

The simple use. In this heat, a third car under a roof stays out of the sun.

  • Check how wide the narrow door is before you count on a wide car.
  • Can both car doors swing open without a bump?
  • Is a clear path left to the door into the house?

A full-size pickup

General lengthAbout 18 to 21 feet

A crew cab with a long bed takes real room. A plain bay may be too short, so the deep tandem bay may be the one that works.

  • Run the tape from door to back wall, and include any steps.
  • Lifted truck or a rack? Check the door height.
  • Does the door still shut behind the hitch?

Bikes and camp gear

What it needsWall space and some floor

Here the third bay often holds the bikes for the trails just west of town and the camp gear for Zion, with room to spare.

  • Where would the racks and hooks go?
  • Does a side door let the bikes out while the cars stay put?
  • Is the floor level, with a place for dust to be swept out?

A workbench

What it needsA work wall, light, cooling and power for tools

Add cooling and bay three works as a July shop. Skip it and the work moves to early mornings. The La Verkin station logs about 47 days a year at 100 or more.

  • Is the garage insulated, and is there a vent, a fan or a cooler?
  • Does a 240 volt outlet exist, with spare room in the panel?
  • Which work tables, cabinets or a sink stay with the home?

A side-by-side

General lengthNear 10 to 13 feet before any trailer

This is the bay for a trail side-by-side. If it rides a trailer, the tongue may stick out past the door, as the drawing shows.

  • Measure the full depth with the trailer attached, tongue included.
  • Will the roll cage or rack fit under the door?
  • Too long? Look at RV parking homes.

Quick answers

Three-car garages, answered

No. A common layout is a wide door plus a narrow door. Another type hides a deep bay behind a two-car door, and another uses one oversized door. The listing reads three-car in every case, so count the doors and measure the bays.

County records do not list garage bays, so I go by size. The larger, newer homes are in Rio de Sion, Zions Edge and Old Home Acres, with Desert Garden Estates on acre lots at the west end. The older homes near Mill Street and in Valley View run smaller.

Sometimes. Most lots are in the Rural Residential zone, where a garage apart from the house goes through the town's conditional use review. It must stay 10 feet from the side and rear lines and no taller than the house. Ask the town office first.

A third bay is more likely on a larger, newer plan, so many cost more. The Census puts the typical Virgin home near $585,900, which is what owners say, not a sale price. Few homes list at a time, so compare with recent sales of homes like it.

It is a hot desert town, with July highs near 98 degrees. The third bay shades a car, and it holds the bikes, the camp gear for Zion or a workbench. Snow is rare here, about 1.4 inches in a normal year, so the garage is about sun, not snow.
