Many Atwater Village homes are original bungalows built between the 1920s and 1950s.

Original bungalow bathrooms are often 35-50 square feet with tight layouts. Some Atwater Village homeowners choose to expand by borrowing space from an adjacent closet or bedroom, which adds 5,000-12,000 dollars but dramatically improves function.
