7 Stunning Bungalows That Are Retirement-Worthy

by Jane Kenney

Published September 19, 2018

Bungalows are truly the most ideal home for a final living spot. They tend to be a low house that’s closer to the ground with a broad front porch and typically has no second floor. It’s an ideal final living spot due to minimal moving, going up and down stairs, and generally living in a smaller space as opposed to a large family house.

Bungalows have a long history and they actually started in Asia. Internationally it holds a ton of different meanings, but they all generally mean ‘low-rise’. The first U.S. bungalow was actually used after the First World War in California. Here are seven of the best retirement-worthy bungalows.
