| Side definitely looks nicer. |

| I prefer side but if I had to do a front entrance, I would avoid those super, steep garages. |

| Side. Definitely. |

| Side looks better, but can be a pain in the ass to actually park in if you don't have a lot of room to maneuver outside the garage. |

| Doesn't everybody prefer side if their lot can fit it properly? |

| this is the OP. distance to the lot line is an issue actually. I would maybe have 25 feet to turn .... |

| Have seen several renovations in our neighborhood with side garage - to a strict code (county and local municipality), but they don't get used. Worst ones are the basement sides. they all look nice, but seem to have ended up being just storage. |

| Some of the side can be pain to turn into , it really depends on the lot. I would rather not build my house around the garage but tastefully design the front. |

| Detached for me, if there's room on the lot. |

| Side!! Front is so unattractive, especially if you ever leave your garage door opened. |

I don't think detached looks good with a colonial. And are you really going to want to walk out in the cold or rain to your car? if so,what is the point of a garage? |

| Front reminds me of a giant mouth. Definitely side. |

| Side!!! Obviously if it doesn't work for your home it doesn't, but it is aesthetically far more pleasing. |
