        "text": "The primary difference lies in their connection to the main house. An attached ADU shares at least one wall with the primary residence, often created by converting existing space like a garage or by adding onto the main structure. A detached ADU is a completely separate, standalone building on the property, similar to a guest house. Detached units generally offer more privacy and design flexibility, while attached units can sometimes be more cost-effective due to existing infrastructure. Both types serve the same purpose of providing an additional living space.",
