Bungalows For Sale In Tucson
The bungalow is an antique home building style, but it is prevalent in Tucson because one of the city's periods of rapid growth coincided with the popularity of the bungalow architectural style. Many of the houses you see near the University of Arizona and in Downtown Tucson are variations on bungalow-style homes.
Bungalows for sale in Tucson are difficult to define because these homes often incorporate another architectural style too. For example, Arts and Crafts homes are often considered bungalows becuase they have the right number of stories, open floor plans, and verandas. However, they also incorporate elements of the Arts and Crafts-style such as cedar shake siding and large chimneys. As a result, one house can be both a bungalow and an Arts and Crafts home. Craftsman houses are another building style that often adopts the layout of a bungalow.

Characteristics of Bungalow-Style Homes For Sale
Small
Bungalow-style homes for sale in Tucson are generally no larger than 1600 square feet and many times they are much smaller. They were built as the affordable homes of their day and reflect that.
No Wasted Space
The entry typically opens directly into the living room. Bungalows are made for efficiency, and you won't find large hallways or wasted space within these houses. Small homes with maximum living is the key to Bungalow-style architecture.
Single Story
Bungalows are typically one story, and in Tucson, a single-story layout is almost always a main feature of a bungalow. On a rare occassion, it is possible to find a raised bungalow that features a basement that is partially above ground, making the house 1.5 stories when viewed from the street.
Large Front Porch
Bungalows in Tucson feature a large front porch at entry. From the early 1900s until the 1950s, Tucson homeowners would sleep outside during the summer under a covered porch or on their roof to stay cool during the night. The "Arizona Room" many homes feature (which is a screened in back porch) was designed for sleeping during the summer months.
Built-ins
Small built-ins provide room for storage. Since bungalows in Tucson are small, space is at a premium. Built-in shelves and cabinetry was typically installed at the end of the halls to serve this purpose.
Low-Pitched Roof
Almost all bungalows feature low-pitched roofs. In addition, shingle is usually the material used. Broad eaves are also a standard for a bungalow.
Open Floor Plan
Bungalows almost always have what today would be called an open floor plan. A large living room flows into an open kitchen, and the living room connects to a hallway with bedrooms and a hall bath.

I would highly recommend Michael for any residential real estate need. I listed my home to test the market and received a contract on day 5 for just $2,400 less than my asking price. I was not prepared for such a quick sale! —Falena Reed
