0First, either is correct, although "adjacent" is more formal language than "nearby."
However, they do not always mean the same thing. Adjacent can be substituted for nearby. However, adjacent can also refer to two areas that are touching. So if you say "Her house is adjacent to mine," then normally you mean her house is right next to your house.
