We all know that The Catskills have their fair share of bungalows, but what about right here in our fair city? Do you know which New York City neighborhoods still have bungalow communities?
The cute block of bungalows above is Shaler Street in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn.
City Island in The Bronx is more like a quaint seaside village than a Big Apple neighborhood. The two bungalows shown above are for sale. The one on the left is listed with Weichert for $289k and the one on the right is for sale by owner at $355k.
Well, Staten Island HAD an adorable bungalow colony right on the beach, but sadly Cedar Grove has been demolished. Out with the historic old, in with the tacky new…
The bungalows of The Rockaways are probably the best known in the city.
It’s hard to believe, but Manhattan actually has some small single family homes left. I found these Inwood bungalows on Google satellite and was surprised to learn that they are priced under $300k when they go up for sale. Hello next project!
Correction: I confused Inwood, Queens Long Island with Inwood, NYC. 🙁

Give it up, Phyllis! Where in Inwood? I can’t find those and I notice you didn’t include a link. 😉 Are you sure that’s not the Inwood near JFK?
Oh shit! It was Queens! I didn’t even know there was an Inwood in Queens. I’m gonna find bungalows in Manhattan!!!
Ha! I’ve been searching ALL MORNING. I remembered some cute cottage-like houses up in Inwood and always wondered about them, and thought by some miracle of miracles they were going at fire sale prices … but everything I found today was waaay over 300k.
Sorry. That was a bad oversight on my part. I googled Inwood, NY and came up with some bungalows for sale on Bayswater Blvd, so I google mapped that and used the street view. I guess I didn’t notice that the map was Queens!
Can’t find any bungalows…not even Roosevelt or Governors Islands.
There is no Inwood, Queens. It’s Inwood, Long Island.
Inwood, Manhattan does have a few Tudor-esque private and semi-private houses but they are not bungalows. The closest examples to what you are talking about would be this adorable brick house at the corner of Park Terrace W and W217th St:

Depending on what you call a “house”, all of the other private “houses” in Inwood are along W217th, Park Terrace West and Payson Ave.
[…] bungalows of Staten Island’s Cedar Grove may have met their end, but did you know that there are bungalows in every borough? Rockaway is Queens’ own quaint seaside town, City Island is nearly all beach houses, […]
Ok, so we’ve established that the Inwood that is NOT Manhattan is on LI and Manhattan does have a few single family homes that are NOT bungalows. 🙂
Inwood is in Nassau County, not Queens.
