The bungalow is simple, informal and efficient. It is these attributes that attracted the new generation of the early 1900's, to leaving the city for a more relaxed home in the suburbs. Because of it's popularity in California, to many the Bungalow was reminiscent of a lifestyle that was relaxed and sunny. Most bungalows of this time had a broad porch on which families could relax and be closer to nature. This notion of being closer to nature and the outdoors was something that a lot of young families were seeking at the time. The bungalow with its unobtrusive angles and simple materials allowed it to blend in to it's natural surroundings.
