Carriage houses and garage apartments are exactly the same thing - living quarters or additional space atop a garage. Carriage houses are simply the original version of the contemporary garage apartment, named for the mode of transportation of the day: the horse-drawn carriage.
Sometimes referred to as Carriage Houses, garage apartments are more popular than ever and they can serve multiple purposes. Many parents of older teenagers or college-age children have found these living spaces can offer some semblance of privacy for all, while allowing the folks to keep a âclose eyeâ on the kids.
