Building an accessory dwelling unit, or ADU, can be complicated. A look at how these Los Angeles homeowners pulled it off.

A new law gives homeowners the option to construct ADUs and sell them like condominiums, increasing the prospects of homeownership.

Homeowners share advice on building an accessory dwelling unit, or ADU, in Southern California. They cover planning, building, financing, construction and more.

The windows and volume up top make the space bright and airy, balancing out the walls of wood built-ins.

For an ADU, don't underestimate the size and complexity of the project. You're going to need to hire professionals -- contractors, architects and others. Here's how to go about it.

One of the first decisions to make about your ADU is whether to use a common design or make yours unique. That will help determine which pros to hire.

Two sisters, one boyfriend, a roommate and a beloved rescue dog share a compound in L.A., thanks to a 500-square-foot ADU.

You'll probably need some kind of loan to help pay for an ADU. Your options will depend on your income, your home equity and your current mortgage.

In recent years, it's become easier to get ADU projects approved, and interest is growing.
