Backyard ADUs in Monroe, Oregon

Thinking about an ADU in Monroe? A backyard ADU adds rental income, room for family, and lasting property value — and Red Umbrella has been building garages, ADUs, and additions across Benton County since 1969. Monroe is the closest Benton County community to Eugene along the 99W corridor — short drive for our crew and a straightforward city permit make projects here refreshingly efficient.

Building an ADU in Monroe

Monroe sits 23 mi north of Eugene via OR-99W. Is surrounded by working farmland where efu zoning and generous setbacks shape what — and where — you can build. Building permits here go through City of Monroe — a process we know well — and for an ADU, that shapes how utilities connect and whether a detached cottage or an attached unit fits best.

Locally, Monroe is known for Long Tom River, OR-99W corridor, Christmas tree farms and wine-grape orchards, and we tailor every build to fit the lot, the neighborhood, and how you actually live.
