Drive & nearby

Hello, teachers!

Are these all natural, or is there any preference?

1-1. She drove her car to a nearby garage.
1-2. She drove her car to a garage nearby.

2-1. She drove to a nearby shopping mall.
2-2. She drove to a shopping mall nearby.

Thank you very much.
Peace!

No preference by me, Ms. Jandi; I could just as easily use one form as the other. The premodifier suggests a better knowledge of the neighborhood, perhaps.
