        "text": "An attached ADU is physically connected to the main home, often sharing a wall. A detached ADU is a separate, freestanding structure on the same property. A garage conversion ADU transforms an existing garage into a habitable living space. Each type has different implications for construction costs, timeline, privacy, and design flexibility, with garage conversions typically being the most cost-effective but offering less design freedom than a new detached unit.",
