California bungalow
Low-pitched roof home
A California bungalow is a style of small house that emerged in Southern California in the early twentieth century, characterized by a low-pitched roof, wide eaves, a prominent front porch with tapered columns, and exposed rafters.
The style spread across the United States and became synonymous with affordable, craftsman-influenced suburban housing: The neighborhood is lined with California bungalows from the 1920s.
