ORTEGA
Long considered home to “Old Jacksonville,”
Ortega is located on a peninsula between the Ortega and St. Johns Rivers,
and is bordered on the west by Roosevelt
Boulevard. The area is experiencing an influx of young middle to upper income professionals who are finding a wide selection of home styles in close proximity to boating and golfing as well as being convenient to downtown offices. Stately oaks overhang the winding main thoroughfare, which still offers some of the most breathtaking views of the Jacksonville skyline the city has to offer.

Ortega has quite a number of churches for its size, and both public and private schools are convenient. Small parks along the riverbanks add to the charm, while the Florida Yacht Club and Timuquana County Club offer private, social and recreational opportunities.
Some larger estates have sold portions of real estate to
make way for new homes; however, Ortega has been developed for many years.
Families tend to stay in Ortega, and as a result, fewer homes are sold on
the open market than in newer areas.
