Rubidoux is one of the most established communities within Jurupa Valley's boundaries, with strong neighborhood identity and community pride that dates back generations. The historic Rubidoux Drive-In Theatre — one of the last remaining drive-in theaters in Southern California — serves as another beloved community landmark.
Mission Boulevard is the commercial backbone of Rubidoux, providing retail, dining, automotive services, and community businesses that make the neighborhood relatively self-sufficient for daily needs.
