Canadian bungalow

Canadian bungalows started out as one story brick houses during the 1950s and evolved with open canopy garages appended to the sides by the 1970s.

Toronto has hardly any bungalows. However, the Greater Toronto Area (mainly the peripheral suburban areas) is marked with several bungalows along avenues. As the city expanded, the bungalows appreciated in value given their proximity to the city centre and their relatively large plot sizes.

In the North York Centre and Scarborough City Centre areas (and to a slightly lesser degree in the East York and York areas), at least one story was added to the bungalows and the strata of society inhabiting them became progressively more of the Upper Middle Class and Upper Class from the Middle Class and Lower Middle Class.

Such a rapid transformation has led to a current day Toronto wherein there is no clear distinction between the neighborhoods populated by the rich and those populated by the poor.
