What Is A Bungalow?

A bungalow is a single-story house that has specific defining features that set it apart from other styles of homes. There are three major characteristics that determine if a home is a bungalow or not. Firstly, a bungalow is a single-story house and if there is a second story, it is a small portion of the square footage and is built into the slope of the roof. Secondly, bungalows typically have wide porches or verandas. These porches may wrap around the house and are often supported by big pillars. Thirdly, bungalows have a lot of windows on the front of the house, letting in a lot of light. This was especially popular when bungalows were popular in construction, as windows were not as expensive at the time.

In the Tampa Bay area, bungalows can often be seen in the South Tampa or Gandy area. Bungalows are also commonly turned into Airbnb rentals due to the natural light that comes through the windows, making the interior very beautiful.
