Dallas Just Made It Easier To Build Triplexes, Fourplexes & ADUs(Accessory Dwelling Units)
If you’ve ever wondered why it’s so hard to find quality rental options that aren’t either a giant apartment complex or a single-family home with a hefty price tag, you’re not alone. For years, Dallas has made it nearly impossible to build “missing middle” housing—those duplexes, triplexes, and fourplexes that offer flexible, affordable living options in walkable neighborhoods.
But change is finally here.
In a move that could quietly transform the city’s housing future, Dallas has voted to ease a major development barrier that made it nearly impossible for small-scale housing to be built. We break down what this means, how it affects you, and why this reform is more than just red tape—it’s about reclaiming neighborhood diversity, affordability, and access.
We cover it all in our latest video—from what’s changing and why it matters, to what this could mean for developers, homeowners, and future buyers or renters alike.

Let’s Build a Smarter Future—Together
I grew up surrounded by duplexes in Cleveland and lived among garden apartments in Los Angeles. These weren’t just places to live—they were stepping stones to financial stability and neighborhood connection. Dallas has the potential to bring that same flexibility and affordability to our communities.
