        "text": "The primary difference lies in their physical connection to the main house. An attached ADU shares a common wall, roof, or foundation with the primary residence, often built as an extension or conversion of existing space like a garage. A detached ADU is a completely separate, standalone structure on the same property. While both provide independent living spaces, attached ADUs can sometimes be more budget-friendly due to shared utilities and existing structures, whereas detached ADUs offer greater privacy and design flexibility.",
