One of Avondale’s most beloved styles of houses is the Bungalow because of it’s quaint charm and historic qualities. A Bungalow is typified by having 1-2 stories and a low pitched roof. Perfect for entertaining or relaxing, the front porches usually stretches the width of the house, and the entryway opens right into the living room.
