Cozy and Classic Bungalow Living

The Timeless Appeal

Bungalows are one of Portland’s most beloved home styles, offering charm, character, and a cozy feel that draws buyers in. Built primarily after World War I, these homes share many Craftsman features but in a more compact and approachable design—perfect for those who love vintage appeal with a manageable footprint.

While some Bungalows include an upstairs, it’s usually tucked beneath a sloped roof, often a converted attic space transformed into a bedroom, bonus room, or primary suite. Full bathrooms on the upper level are rare, making the main floor the hub of daily living.

If a garage is part of the package, you’ll typically find it set back behind the house and detached—another hallmark of classic Portland Bungalow design. Whether you’re drawn to their historical charm or efficient layout, these homes offer a warm and welcoming lifestyle in some of the city’s most sought-after neighborhoods.

Portland has several neighborhoods known for their high concentration of charming Bungalow-style homes.
