  "articleBody": "An attached ADU can add independent living space while sharing a wall, roofline, or structural connection with the main home, but its feasibility depends on lot conditions, building separation, utilities, access, and local approval requirements. Before hiring a contractor, confirm the intended use, available floor area, design scope, and which jurisdiction will review the plans.",
