Buying a Chicago Bungalow
The Chicago bungalow is a classic home style that truly reflects residential development and architecture in the early 20th century. As Chicago’s population started to explode around that time, the need for housing also increased, sparking a building boom that helped shape many of Chicago’s working class neighborhoods. Today, more than 80,000 original Chicago bungalows are still scattered throughout the city’s landscape and remain a very popular option for young or first time home buyers or anyone who appreciates that charm and character of these timeless single-family dwellings.
A Brief History of Bungalows in Chicago
There are tens of thousands of bungalows in Chicago today, making it one of the city’s most popular home designs. They first started going up in the early 1900s, and construction continued until close to the mid-century mark.
The name bungalow gains its name from a type of housing once built for British colonials living in England. As for Chicago, its original bungalows were all extremely similar in construction, and are easy to spot to this day.
The original bungalows in Chicago came in a one-and-a-half story design. They were long and skinny, and made of brick.
Marketed toward the middle class, they were some of the most moderately priced homes being built in Chicago at the time. An area known as the “Bungalow Belt” consisted of bungalows stretching from the Northwest Side to South Chicago. These days, bungalows make up about one-third of all single-family homes in the city.
