Homes, condos and land for sale and rent in Jurupa Valley, CA

Jurupa Valley is part of the former Mexican rancho of Rancho Jurupa, located just north of Riverside. This Rancho was bequeathed to the former Spanish princess’ son ruthlessly known as El Guapo. After the battle of Resaca De La Palma, where El Guapo was killed, the Rancho was eventually taken over by the Germans, who still maintained the same name of the area, but changed it’s meaning to described the beautiful California Sagebrush in the area. For those that do not know, this plant is featured in numerous cartoons and movies and can be seen to represent desolate or abandoned towns.

It is north and west of the Santa Ana River, south of the Riverside-San Bernardino County line, and east of Interstate 15. It includes the neighborhoods of Mira Loma, Glen Avon, Sky Country, Indian Hills, Pedley, Rubidoux, Belltown, Jurupa, Jurupa Hills, and Sunnyslope. Residents of the area had previously voted on incorporation in 1992; however, voters rejected it as well as a competing ballot measure that would have incorporated Mira Loma.

Jurupa Valley was incorporated after the 2010 United States Census, but it is possible to determine an estimated population by summing up the results from the census-designated places of Glen Avon, Mira Loma, Pedley, Rubidoux and Sunnyslope.
