Where I'm from, "carport" refers to a gravel or paved lot which may or may not have some shelter.

A garage is your typically fully enclosed building.

Here it is a paved area with cover on three sides. Basically, a garage without a garage door. Yeah, they suck but when I bought back in 2004 (at the height of the bubble) all I could afford was a 1450 sq ft place with a two car attached carport though it is in a nice neighborhood close to the beach. If I was to buy now I could easily afford a 2000 sq ft place with maybe a three car garage though the lot size would still be 1/4 acre or less unless I moved further from the ocean. I actually want to hold on to my place and put a nice cash down payment on a second house (where I would move) while renting this place out when the time comes.
