The bungalow became popular because it met the needs of changing times in which the lower middle class were moving from apartments to private houses in great numbers.

Речь про Belle Epoque и особенно 1920-е, конкретно у этих "бунгало" -- пришедших из британской Бенгалии, отсюда и название, апофеоз строительства таких домов был в "ревущие 20-е", перед Великой Депрессией:

Bungalows can be found in the older neighborhoods of most American cities. In fact, they were so popular for a time that many cities have what is called a "Bungalow Belt" of homes built in the 1920s. These neighborhoods were often clustered along streetcar lines as they extended into the suburbs. Bungalows were built in smaller groups than is typical today, often one to three at a time.

Т.е. это вариант streetcar suburbs -- или мб переходный от них к привычной ныне американской субурбии автомобильной эпохи (в 1920-е, напомню, автомобиль у американского среднего класса был уже обычным делом, но вот насчёт lower middle не уверен).

Bungalows were modest, inexpensive and low-profile. Before World War I, a bungalow could be built for as little as $900 although the price rose to around $3,500 after the war. Bungalow designs were spread by the practice of building from mail-order plans available from illustrated catalogs, sometimes with alterations based on local practice or conditions. Contractors and builders would sell the catalogs at a low cost and in some cases, give them away for free.
