There are two commons types of bungalows in Ottawa. The first a
detached, single family dwelling with one level above ground, on its
own lot, and completely separated from any adjacent housing. The other
is a semi-bungalow. Semi-bungalows are detached, single family dwelling
with one and a half levels above ground, on its own lot, and completely
separated from any adjacent housing. This is sometimes referred to
as a storey and a half. Some home buyers prefer bungalows because
of their cozy home feeling.
