I think what the British would call a bungalow is roughly akin to what Americans would call a "ranch" house.
Strictly speaking, the American definition of bungalow refers to a specific type of single-family dwelling, oftentimes (but not always) with a 1 1/2 story floorplan (the 1/2 story being a master bedroom upstairs, for example), and was historically associated with the arts and crafts/craftsman movement- most American bungalows were built between 1900-1930. Here is more from wikipedia:

A one-story house, cottage or cabin. Bungalows are generally small in terms of square footage, but it is not uncommon to see very large bungalows. Bungalows were originally designed to provide affordable, modern housing for the working class.

It's called a bungalow in America. Or tract housing. Sometimes a cottage - it really depends on the size of the building and its location.

Some Americans use the word bungalow to refer to a small one-storied house. Other Americans use the word "cottage".
