        "text": "An attached ADU shares a wall with the primary residence, often built as an extension or within existing space. A detached ADU is a separate, freestanding structure on the property. The choice between them depends on your lot size, local zoning ordinances, desired privacy, and budget. Attached ADUs may have lower construction costs due to shared utilities and foundations, while detached units offer maximum privacy and design flexibility. We help evaluate your property's potential and your lifestyle needs to determine the most suitable option.",
