Around here $500k gets you a 3BR with carport. I would not store bikes in a carport (though some people here do). I have a 2 car garage, and I just roll bikes in/out. I have my tools and work bench here. Don't see any reason to put bikes in the house. I don't even have any steps to enter but just too much hassle, rolling across the carpet or floor probably not the best idea.
