Jurupa Valley Real Estate Agent: Homes, Horse Property & Land

Jurupa Valley became a city on July 1, 2011, uniting long-established communities including Mira Loma, Glen Avon, Pedley, Rubidoux, Sunnyslope, Indian Hills and Jurupa Hills. It sits north and west of the Santa Ana River, directly across from downtown Riverside, with Eastvale to the west and the San Bernardino County line to the north. Because the city is so new, older deeds and listings often show Mira Loma or Riverside for addresses that are now in Jurupa Valley.

The housing stock is what sets Jurupa Valley apart. Much of it is single-story ranch homes from the 1950s through the 1980s on lots far larger than a typical tract parcel, and many properties in Pedley, Sunnyslope and Glen Avon allow horses and other animals, with riding trails and public arenas nearby. Newer subdivisions have filled in around Mira Loma near the Eastvale border, and Paradise Knolls in Pedley is a newer master plan, designed with equestrian amenities, on the site of a former golf course. You can compare a 1960s ranch on a half acre with a recent build in the same afternoon.

Interstate 15 runs along the western edge and State Route 60 crosses the north side, so Ontario International Airport is a short drive away. The Jurupa Valley/Pedley Metrolink station on the Riverside Line offers a train toward Los Angeles Union Station, and Flabob Airport serves private pilots. Limonite Avenue and Mission Boulevard are the main east-west corridors, and Van Buren Boulevard links south to Riverside and the 91.

For time outdoors, there is Rancho Jurupa Regional Park, the Santa Ana River Trail, the Jensen-Alvarado Historic Ranch and the Jurupa Mountains Discovery Center. Golfers have four courses within city limits: Goose Creek, Indian Hills, Jurupa Hills and Oak Quarry. Most of the city is served by Jurupa Unified School District, with a small area in Corona-Norco Unified.
