gar. stands for Garage, a classified ad abbreviation.

Indicates a garage in housing listings, often with the number of car spaces, as in "2-car gar." or "att. gar." (attached garage).

Example: Split-level on half an acre with a 2-car att. gar. and a large deck.

Usage notes

Attached garages connect directly to the house, while detached ones are separate structures. Listings may instead mention a carport or off-street parking. Many localities require permits before a garage can be converted into living space.
