Low and centered, with plain lines, inviting porches and cozy nooks, bungalows are the essence of homes that are comfortable yet dignified and always in fashion.
Today, with their reputation for sturdy craftsmanship and individual details, bungalows are often prized by homeowners and investors, with many bungalow neighborhoods are in the midst of revitalization.
According to Bruce Johnson, an author and director of the annual Arts and Crafts Conference at the Grove Park Inn, bungalows in the Asheville area were built mainly from the early 1900s to about 1929, when the Great Depression hit and most local construction stopped.
In Asheville, you'll find bungalows galore in West Asheville, not long ago a strictly working-class neighborhood. While it still boasts useful amenities such as gas stations and shoe repair, in the past decade West Asheville has developed a distinct personality, with funky clothing stores, galleries and cafes.
