        "text": "An attached granny flat shares at least one wall with your main residence, while a detached unit is a freestanding cottage built separately in your yard. Attached suites typically cost less to construct and make sharing existing central utilities or checking in on an aging relative easier. Detached units offer superior acoustic privacy and independence for both households, but they require sufficient yard space, dedicated setback clearances, and independent utility connections. Choose an attached unit for closer caregiving access, or a detached structure for maximum privacy.",
