7 Stunning Bungalows That Are Retirement-Worthy

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.

1. The Quest, UK, by Ström Architects

This bungalow is absolutely stunning. It features a visibly lowrise house and appears to be one story tall. It also features a protective parking spot for drivers who don’t need to deal with the hassle of an actual parking garage. It’s a very contemporary style home featuring ceiling-to-floor glass windows.

2. The Tepoztlán Bungalow, Mexico, by Cadaval & Solà-Morales

This set of bungalows is a concept for a low-rise version of a condominium. It has both modern and old-fashioned nods to it with the contemporary, new-style doors and vintage-looking bricks that garner the house along with the chimney.
