Bungalow Heaven is a community of homes in Pasadena, California that is known for their unique architecture of homes that were original to years of 1900 to 1930. The most notable bungalow Architecture in Pasadena is the Gamble House, a creation of Greene and Greene (The picture above is not the Gamble House). To me, what is most notable about the bungalow house, is the the low pitch roof, which brings up the concept of mathematics and slope. The slope of the roof is no more than 20 degrees from the horizontal axis of these houses. I think this is one of the many unique characteristics that distinguish this architecture style. (This is the rear view of the Gamble House)
Cool!
ReplyDeleteVery cool! It's interesting and definitely something to remember to think about once I start looking for a house!
ReplyDeleteThis is a very cool idea! It's embarrassing to just go off what is affordable, but actually what could be more affordable is buying bigger! Wow! What a concept! Thank you! :)
ReplyDeleteThis is very interesting. I am looking into buying a home and it definitely something that is difficult on one teaching income. The downside is, while the larger plot sizes are cheaper per square foot, the entry price to buy a home at all is still much too high. Once you can breach that $400,000 barrier, you can start moving through different size lots quickly.
ReplyDeleteGreat posts! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThis is neat -- if potentially depressing for folks not yet invested in the housing market in SoCal. I can attest that when we sold our TINY (984-square-foot) house last fall, it was for a pretty high price per square foot (about $488.82/sqft). So the logic holds!
ReplyDeleteBuy why? Is it because Bung Heav is known for very small (but beautiful) houses?
ReplyDeleteIt is because it is all about location. You are paying big time for the land. So the square footage pays a smaller role than you would first think.
ReplyDeleteI live in Montrose (town next to La Crescenta) and homes prices fluctuate based on where they are in relation to Foothill Blvd.
