A property is a proper, inherent quality of an object. Like the lyrics and music of a song - if you change those, it is a different song.
An attribute is a quality attributed to an object, like the name of song or what you call it. The song called by a different name would sound just as sweet.
The property is the piece of land, no matter who is attributed as the owner of that land.
There is certainy a diffuse grey zone: If you have a look at the property, you may see its size by yourself. You may report that it is a thousand by two thosand feet. I might report that it is three hundred by six hundred meters. The proper size of the land doesn't change, but you and put different labels, different attributions, on the land to indcate its its size. Its real size is a property, but a measurement of that size, in some unit, may be termed an attribute.
I am not quite sure about that - the owner certainly has little to do with the lot itself, and is clearly an attribute. A measurement, whether in feet or meters, does represent a proper quality quite directly. But there is a limit to the processing before it becomes a non-proper quality: The lyrics is a proper quality of the song, a two summary in two sentences can be attributed to the song, but is not a proper quality of the song. You have to draw the line somewhere, even if you do it with a gray color, wide and untidy bush.
In any case, .net really got it the wrong way: The "real" quality inside the object is referred to as something attributed to the object, while a processing of the "real" object quality, presenting a quality that is not "real", is called a property, a proper value. It should have been the other way around.

I believe this is as good an answer on this subject can get.
If I change the name of a song it's still the same song, but if I change the lyrics and music it becomes a new song but it remains a song.
Similarly, if I change the colour of of a car it's still the same car, but if I change the size it becomes a different model of a car. So colour is an attribute and size is a property in this case.
If it had been in the Q&A I would have marked it an answer.
Now I'm going to build a database.

I thought that attributes always start with an @... or is that annotation?
Is an annotation an attribute of a property?

Not sure if this is helpful, but back many years ago, in CHEM 101 they taught us about two types of properties:
Intensive Properties - For example, gold. Any amount of gold is still gold.
Extensive Properties - A kg of gold is not a lb of gold.
If one were to figure out how to differentiate the implications of the the two words-of-interest, it could possibly follow along the lines of the above. With some syntactical candy, of course.

Quote: Say for example I want to describe a car.
It has a colour, top speed, engine size, length, leather seats and so on.
Neither. Those are "extra-cost options".

My understanding has always been that a property is a distinctive attribute. In other words a property is an attribute that in part makes something what it is, whereas an attribute can be just a characteristic of a thing.

My dumbed down, potential wrong view of this (partly sarcastic):
Property - could be derived from Proprietary
- like others has mentioned - It is something inheritly linked, or linked is such a way that cannot be removed or changed.
Car is made of Metal - is Property of the car.
Attribute - is something you give, associate, or Attribute (in my head the pronounceaction sound difference) to something.
I have painted the Car blue - I have given it a blue paint.
I can change the paint
It has stickers. I have attributed stickers to my car.
Along this line then.
My parents are Properties of Me.
But a girlfriend is an Attribute.
Does a wife convert from Attribute to Property?
And if you device. The divorce sticks.
Unless it was annulled.
This makes sense right

An art which not too many have mastered. Did you ever notice how weird the self destruction panel in Alien is? I get the part whith 'AGARIC FLY', together with the 'TRIP' button right next to it. But what is a 'PARTICLE BEAM ABHORT'? I don't want to know if it's intended to let someone sit on it...
Self Destruct Panel[^]
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

The PRANIC LIFT sounds about cool as well.

Don't forget the "Hum" and "Padme" buttons.

It's Episode I, after all. Only playing in a different universe.

Wouldn't Episode 1 be Prometheus?
I guess you could say Alien would be Episode 3, so your joke would still work

I think a prop maker had some fun... and has been wondering if anyone would notice.
