        "text": "The primary difference lies in their physical connection to the main residence. An attached ADU shares at least one wall with the primary home, often built within an existing structure like a garage conversion or an addition. A detached ADU is a completely separate, standalone structure on the property, offering distinct privacy and independent access. While both serve similar purposes, detached units typically provide more autonomy and design flexibility.",
