5191 Westerfield St

5191 Westerfield St is a single-story home of about 1,481 square feet in Jurupa Valley, offered for lease to an operator ready to open a recovery residence in the Inland Empire.

Jurupa Valley

Jurupa Valley sits in western Riverside County, along the Santa Ana River between the city of Riverside and the Ontario area. It is a young city, incorporated in 2011, and most of it is residential tract housing on quiet interior streets, which is usually what an operator wants. The 60 and the 15 are both close by, so Riverside, Ontario and San Bernardino are each a short drive, and the house sits inside the Inland Empire referral network rather than at the edge of it.

The house

Single story, stucco, tile roof, attached two-car garage, small low-maintenance front yard. The main living area runs open from the entry through to the kitchen: wood-look plank tile throughout, recessed lighting, ceiling fans, and a fireplace with a white mantel. French doors off the dining area open to the back yard.

The kitchen has been updated with white cabinets, granite counters, a subway tile backsplash, and a stainless gas range, microwave, dishwasher and full-size refrigerator. The primary bedroom has a sliding-door closet and opens through to a full bath with a tub and shower. The interior photographs show the home unfurnished.

There is rooftop solar on the front elevation. Ask us about the arrangement before you budget the electricity, because owned panels, a solar lease and a power purchase agreement each affect an operator's utility cost differently.

Operating in California

California does not license sober living homes that deliver no clinical services. Licensing through the Department of Health Care Services starts once treatment is provided on site; a peer-run residence generally falls outside it. Certification is voluntary, runs through CCAPP as the state's NARR affiliate, and is what most referral sources look for.

Referrals in this part of Riverside County come from Riverside University Health System's behavioral health division, the county drug courts, and the treatment providers spread across the Inland Empire.

Diligence

Confirm the bed count against the floor plan before you build a lease-up plan on it. Occupancy and residential-use rules in Jurupa Valley set the ceiling here more than the square footage does. After that: the solar arrangement, the condition of the garage and back yard, and what the owner will and will not deliver at lease signing.
